Why European Companies are Embracing Local Cloud Providers

In recent months, a noteworthy shift has been gaining momentum among European companies and organizations: a growing number are exploring alternatives to U.S.-based cloud providers.

This trend is not about rejecting trusted technologies from abroad, but rather about aligning infrastructure decisions with local data protection needs and regulatory frameworks. As a result, homegrown European solutions like anynines are increasingly in the spotlight.

Navigating Data Jurisdiction with Confidence

A key driver behind this shift is the desire for greater clarity and control over data jurisdiction. U.S. laws such as the CLOUD Act can, under certain circumstances, extend the reach of American authorities to data stored by U.S.-based companies—even when that data is physically located elsewhere. For European organizations operating under GDPR and other regional privacy standards, this introduces an added layer of complexity.

While this does not imply that U.S. cloud providers are inherently insecure or non-compliant, it underscores the importance of choosing a solution that aligns seamlessly with European privacy expectations and legal requirements. Many organizations are opting for locally hosted platforms to reduce ambiguity and simplify compliance.

The Case for European-Based Cloud Solutions

European cloud providers like anynines offer platforms that are fully operated within the EU, ensuring data sovereignty and peace of mind. With a9s Cloud Foundry and a9s Data Services, organizations can benefit from a reliable, high-performance cloud environment that complies with European data regulations—without compromising on innovation or service quality.

By keeping infrastructure and data handling within Europe, businesses gain additional reassurance: that their sensitive information is subject only to local jurisdiction and oversight. This can be particularly important for sectors such as finance, healthcare, and public administration, where privacy and compliance are non-negotiable.

Local Hosting, Global Standards

Choosing a European provider doesn’t mean sacrificing global expertise or world-class technology. In fact, platforms like a9s Cloud Foundry are designed to deliver robust, scalable, and modern solutions—fully compatible with international standards and open-source ecosystems.
