Faced with the dominance of the GAFAM and the issues of transparency regarding data usage, Sovereign Cloud emerges as a solution to ensure security and digital independence.
Why and how to adopt a Sovereign Cloud for your data ?
Introduction
With the growing dominance of the GAFAM (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft) in the technology market, a fundamental question arises: who can we trust with our data? The lack of transparency regarding its use and the risks posed by foreign laws such as the US Cloud Act have highlighted the need for alternative solutions. The concept of “Sovereign Cloud” emerges as an answer to these concerns, offering better control over data and greater compliance with local regulations.
What is a Sovereign Cloud ?
A Sovereign Cloud is distinguished by three main characteristics :
2. Local management: Cloud infrastructures and services are controlled by domestic companies.
3. Legal compliance: Providers are subject to the jurisdiction of your country, ensuring adherence to regulations such as the GDPR in Europe.
Unlike the public clouds of the GAFAM, a Sovereign Cloud offers increased transparency and better protection against foreign interference.
Why opt for a Sovereign Cloud ?
The concrete benefits for businesses
Transparency : The ability to interact directly with local providers for better control over services.

The limitations and challenges
Despite its many advantages, Sovereign Cloud has some drawbacks :
Innovation : Some local providers may be behind on the latest technological advancements.

How to transition to a Sovereign Cloud ?
