Oracle has launched a new sovereign cloud service for its European Union (EU) customers, claiming to address concerns over data sovereignty. Oracle’s new service will be available to any organisation that needs it, as opposed to just public sector organisations. The so-called digital sovereignty issue is becoming increasingly important to companies that process data on behalf of EU residents, driven by regulations like GDPR and upcoming laws including the AI Act and Privacy Shield 2.0. Microsoft has already launched its Cloud for Sovereignty aimed directly at public sector organisations, while Google has teamed up with local companies like Deutsche Telekom’s T-Sytems. Amazon has played down the sovereign cloud idea in the past, although it announced a digital sovereignty pledge six months ago. Oracle’s new service will use separate legal entities within the EU for controlling customer data, and will be backed up by two data centres in Germany and Spain.
