Your data remains under sovereign control and jurisdiction, preventing compelled access to data by foreign authorities.
Realize the true value of your data with an established framework for data privacy, data mobility to trusted clouds, and advanced data services.
Protect your applications and data against rapidly evolving attack vectors with advanced security controls and data classification implementations.
Prepare for changing data privacy regulations, security threats and geopolitics. Avoid cloud vendor lock-in with workload, application and data portability.
Achieve compliance significantly faster and more efficiently, and maintain continuous compliance.
Build a national capability of digital resilience for the data economy. Develop a deep and wide pool of useful data to unlock true economic growth.
By using a sovereign cloud, you can define and establish data domains and classification, leveraging resident block, file and object storage to store and manage data and encryption measures.
Use of a sovereign cloud demonstrates compliance with local jurisdictional requirements and legal entities, negating foreign control over national data.
A sovereign cloud endpoint allows connectivity to authorized, trusted and residency-restricted domains. Extending sovereign data enables collaboration and analytics, governed by data classification zones.
Form a trusted cloud data environment for sensitive and regulated workloads. Migrate applications and data from one sovereign cloud to a non-sovereign environment, between data classification tiers, or to another sovereign cloud.
Maintain data integrity through enforcement of sovereign rules, policies and standards, such as micro-segmentation.
Sovereign clouds are architected and built to deliver security and data access that meets strict requirements of regulated industries and local jurisdiction laws on data privacy, access and control. They protect and unlock the value of critical data for both private and public sector organizations.
Data residency refers to the physical and geographic location where customer data is stored and processed. This may be dictated by policy, tax or performance reasons.
Data sovereignty refers to data being subject to privacy laws and governance structures within the nation where that data is collected.
Generally, commercial public clouds provide data residency by building out regions in specific countries. While customer data may be resident locally, account information and metadata may not be. Resident data may be subject to compelled access by a foreign authority.
Sovereign clouds ensure data sovereignty in two ways:
1. Data is subject to the jurisdictional control and authority of the nation or pan-national entity (such as the EU) where that data was collected, and other jurisdictions are unable to assert authority over the data.
2. All data (e.g., customer data, metadata, etc.) is resident or controlled within that jurisdiction.
Some may think sovereign clouds are synonymous with “GovClouds” that target the public sector, but the concept of sovereign cloud is broader and applies equally to industry vertical or private sector services.
Securely move to your next stage in cloud transformation with a trusted VMware Sovereign Cloud Provider Partner.
Join the VMware Sovereign Cloud initiative and deliver trusted cloud transformation capabilities and solutions to enterprises in regulated industries and public sector organizations.
A secure, trusted cloud with a sovereign architecture protects data and complies with privacy laws governing information residency and sovereignty.
Controlling the location of data in the cloud to comply with data privacy regulations should be a key criterion in choosing cloud services that handle restricted data.
Get guidelines and best practices for successfully building and operating sovereign clouds that protect critical data for private and public sector organizations.
VMware is driving sovereignty technology and deployment models with Cloud Provider partners delivering a wider digital context that encompasses not just data control, but also the infrastructure and software that are created and relied upon to operate in the digital world.
