On Tuesday, September 10, the GigaCloud team participated in the European Sovereign Cloud Day in Brussels, hosted by Forum Europe, Broadcom, and Arrow.
The forum focused on the critical role of secure, compliant, and scalable cloud solutions for European organizations, as the demand for data sovereignty and digital independence continues to grow across the region. During the event, VMware experts discussed, inter alia, how managed service providers can join in on building the sovereign data ecosystem and support the VMware Sovereign Cloud Initiative.
GigaCloud, being a VMware Cloud Service Provider Premier Partner in the Broadcom Advantage Partner Program, creates clouds up-to-the-minute with ever-shifting security requirements and closely follows any developments on the market.
Anton Khvastunov, GigaCloud Co-Founder, emphasized: «Our long-term vendor partner VMware is committed to creating solutions for sovereign cloud landscape. The VMware Sovereign Cloud Initiative is set out to empower cloud providers with a clear framework to support national data laws and privacy requirements, which aligns with GigaCloud’s strategy. It gives us a clear roadmap on how to build our partnership and activities within the EU».
A sovereign cloud provides organizations with full control over their data, ensuring that it remains within the borders of a particular country or region and is managed according to local laws, such as GDPR in Europe. This concept is exactly a touchstone GigaCloud uses when creating the company’s cloud services.
