The conversation around cloud computing in Europe has shifted. It’s no longer just about "moving to the cloud", it’s about moving to the cloud with absolute confidence in operational autonomy and data residency.

Today, we are proud to announce that Ankercloud is a launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (ESC). This new, independent cloud infrastructure is designed specifically for Europe, enabling organizations in highly regulated industries to innovate while meeting their most stringent digital sovereignty requirements.

What Makes the AWS European Sovereign Cloud Different?

The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is not just another region; it is a sovereign-by-design architecture that is physically and logically separate from existing AWS Regions. Key pillars include:

  • EU-Only Operations: The infrastructure is located entirely within the European Union and is operated by EU-resident AWS employees located in the EU.
  • Operational Autonomy: It operates independently, ensuring that customers have the enhanced controls they need for critical data and metadata.
  • The Full Power of AWS: Unlike restricted "sovereign" solutions of the past, ESC gives you access to the same service portfolio, APIs, and high-performance infrastructure (including the AWS Nitro System) that drive global innovation.

Why Ankercloud?

As a launch partner, Ankercloud is uniquely positioned to help you navigate this new landscape. Our core solutions are now available on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, meaning you can deploy your most sensitive workloads - from healthcare data to government services—on an infrastructure built specifically for the European regulatory environment.

We don't just provide the "where"; we provide the "how." Our team of experts helps you:

  1. Assess Your Workloads: Determine which data requires the enhanced controls of the ESC versus existing AWS Regions.
  2. Migrate with Precision: Move critical infrastructure with zero downtime and total compliance support.
  3. Modernize Securely: Implement advanced AI and data analytics while maintaining full control over your data residency.

The Future is Sovereign

The launch of the AWS European Sovereign Cloud represents a significant step forward for organizations operating under EU regulatory frameworks. It removes the "sovereignty vs. innovation" trade-off, allowing you to run your most sensitive workloads with the performance of a global leader and the independence of a local provider.

Ready to deploy your sensitive workloads with guaranteed sovereignty and compliance?
