Sovereign and private cloud, built your way or managed on your terms

A sovereign cloud is infrastructure where data storage, processing and operations fall exclusively under one jurisdiction's laws, with no foreign authority able to compel access. It goes beyond where servers physically sit to cover who holds the encryption keys, who runs the control plane and operations, and which legal jurisdiction governs the data. We build it on open standards so sovereignty is structural, not a marketing label.

Data residency is the physical fact of where data is stored; data sovereignty is the legal question of which jurisdiction's laws govern access to it. You can store data in an EU data center and still lack sovereignty if the operator is incorporated under foreign law such as the US CLOUD Act, or if a third party holds your keys.

We start from your workloads, scale, tenancy and compliance needs rather than a favourite tool. A full IaaS control plane like OpenStack or CloudStack suits large, multi-tenant, API-driven clouds; a hypervisor stack like Proxmox VE or Harvester fits VM-centric estates with lean ops teams; a Kubernetes-native platform on KubeVirt and Cluster API fits cloud-native workloads where the cluster is the cloud. We often combine them, and we standardise storage, networking and IaC across whichever we choose.

Often yes. We sovereign-manage your current provider using EU data residency, client-side encryption and customer-held keys (BYOK/HYOK), so you alone control access regardless of the operator's jurisdiction. Where requirements are stricter, we build a fully private cloud from scratch on open-source infrastructure and migrate you over on a staged path.

There is no single answer - it depends on your estate. For VM-centric workloads, Proxmox VE, Harvester or XCP-ng are strong open-source replacements; for multi-tenant, API-driven clouds, OpenStack or Apache CloudStack fit better; for cloud-native teams, KubeVirt or OpenShift Virtualization let Kubernetes run VMs alongside containers. We assess your environment and run the migration so you cut licensing cost while keeping full control of your data and keys.

Cost depends on scope, environment size, sovereignty requirements and whether you need a one-off build or ongoing managed operations. We scope each engagement to your goals and provide a tailored quote rather than public pricing. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
