At the Nextcloud summit, European cloud providers emphasized the feasibility of migrating workloads from US hyperscalers, citing risks related to US government actions and data privacy. The tech sector faces customer distrust as US companies promise to safeguard data. In contrast, EU vendors argue against claims of insufficient capacity or competitiveness, with IONOS's CTO asserting scalable options exist. Concerns over 'sovereignty washing' within the industry were also raised, indicating a growing push for reliable and sovereign cloud solutions in Europe.
Suffice it to say that some tech giants have a bad case of the jitters as some formerly loyal customers lose faith and trust in the face of an increasingly erratic US administration.
During an interview with The Register, Dr Markus Noga, CTO of European Cloud provider IONOS, insisted that scaleability was a non-issue and that the group had sufficient spare capacity.
