In a significant step towards enhancing the digital sovereignty of Europe, OpenNebula Systems and OVHcloud have partnered to offer a sovereign cloud solution that is completely certified. The collaboration of OpenNebula Systems’ open-source cloud management platform and OVHcloud’s secure and high-performance European infrastructure ensures that companies are able to function within the stringent data protection laws of the EU.
As European businesses begin to reassess their current dependence on non-European cloud vendors in light of the increasing regulations and geopolitical tensions, this partnership provides a much-needed solution that provides compliance and independence. By running OpenNebula on OVHcloud’s trusted infrastructure, customers now have access to a cloud platform that operates entirely under the EU’s control.
“European companies are seeking more control over their data and digital resources,” said a spokesperson from OVHcloud. “This collaboration addresses that need while providing enterprise-grade performance. The end result is a solution that is not only compliant but also highly scalable, giving businesses the agility to grow without having to worry about security and performance.”
The digital sovereignty of the twentieth century is not only about compliance, but it is also about having secure, flexible, and interoperable cloud infrastructures. The software developed by OpenNebula is optimized for hybrid and multi-cloud topologies, allowing for seamless federation between private, hosted, and cloud infrastructures. This is particularly important for regulated sectors, the public sector, and research organizations that demand transparency and control over their digital infrastructure.
The inclusion of OpenNebula in the OVHcloud offering enables customers to easily create and manage private clouds with minimal complexity while enjoying high-performance bare-metal servers and low-latency connectivity. This collaboration provides enterprises with the tools needed for secure, federated cloud services.
For public sector organizations, regulated industries, and any enterprise concerned with data sovereignty, this partnership strengthens the viability of European-native cloud services. It signals a maturing market for sovereign cloud solutions, blending autonomy with commercial efficiency.
