Abstract
The IDC Perspective explores the rising demand for sovereign cloud solutions in Europe and the growing trend of outsourcing the management of these solutions to third-party service providers. It highlights the critical role of managed service providers in facilitating the adoption and management of these solutions. The report underscores the importance of selecting providers with expertise in regulatory navigation, data compliance, and hybrid/multicloud integration. It also emphasizes the need for partnerships between local and global players to ensure scalability and innovation while maintaining sovereignty requirements.
"Outsourcing the management of sovereign clouds is not just a trend — it's a strategic necessity for European IT buyers navigating complex regulatory landscapes, intricate hybrid and multicloud operations, and cybersecurity demands," said Francesca Ciarletta, research manager, IDC's European Managed Cloud Services.
