Recently, Amazon's cloud computing division officially launched a new European sovereign cloud service. The first phase of this cloud computing project, which is entirely located within Europe, has started construction of its data center in Brandenburg, Germany, around Berlin. According to public information, the total investment of this project is expected to reach 7.8 billion euros, marking a new stage in the construction of digital infrastructure in Europe.

Responding to regulatory demands and deeply cultivating the European market

European Sovereign Cloud is a cloud computing service designed by Amazon to meet the special needs of the European market, aiming to meet the highly compliant requirements of European customers for data storage and processing. The project has achieved European localization in terms of physical infrastructure and operational management team. The data center is operated by enterprises that meet EU qualifications, and all management and technical personnel are citizens of EU member states.

The economic department of Brandenburg state in Germany stated that this project will make the region an important hub for digital innovation in Europe. Amazon stated that in addition to its investment in Germany, it plans to continue expanding similar projects in other European countries and regions, forming a sovereign cloud service network covering the entire European region.

Independent operation system ensures data security

The European Sovereign Cloud has designed an independent operation capability on the technical architecture, which can ensure the continuity of customer business in Europe even in the case of special circumstances of global Internet connection. This design takes into account various possible operating environments and enhances the reliability of the service.

This service is specifically optimized to meet the needs of highly regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, and public affairs, ensuring that customer data storage and processing fully comply with European laws and regulations. In the early stages of service launch, over 90 features were already provided, covering key areas such as artificial intelligence, data analysis, database management, and network security.

Local enterprises collaborate to build a complete value chain

Amazon Europe Sovereign Cloud has established cooperative relationships with multiple European technology companies, forming a complete industry ecosystem. SAP has announced that it will offer its sovereign cloud capabilities on this platform, combining enterprise application expertise with cloud computing infrastructure to provide customers with more comprehensive solutions.

In addition, local information technology consulting and service companies in Europe have also participated in this project, jointly building a complete value chain from infrastructure to application services. This collaborative model helps to form a healthier and more diverse cloud computing ecosystem.

Meet compliance requirements and promote digital transformation

The launch of the European sovereign cloud coincides with the rapid development of the European digital economy, and industry clients with special requirements for data security and compliance have shown strong interest. This service may become an important option for the future European cloud computing market, especially for public institutions and commercial organizations that handle sensitive data.
