Solita and UpCloud have partnered to meet the growing demand for sovereign cloud platforms within the EU. With a competitive pricing model and infrastructure owned and operated in Europe, UpCloud offers organisations a robust option for running their digital systems and solutions in a sovereign EU cloud. As one of the largest AI and data transformation agencies in Europe, Solita complements this with extensive expertise in strategic advisory, application modernisation, cloud migrations, as well as managed cloud and security services.
Amid rising geopolitical tensions, stricter data protection requirements, and growing cybersecurity risks, EU organisations are increasingly prioritising sovereignty and control over their critical digital infrastructure.
“Navigating complex tech ecosystems and building cost-efficient, future-proof cloud, data, and AI capabilities is no easy task under today’s changing regulatory and geopolitical developments. We are committed to providing our customers with the best expertise and cloud choices in the market. Solita is proud to partner with UpCloud to offer an all-European alternative for sovereign cloud services, complementing our strong offering with hyperscale providers,” commented Karri Lehtinen, Senior Vice President, Cloud Platforms, Solita.
Solita also partners with global leaders AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
