Why a European Cloud is Essential for Your Data Strategy

As a European organization, you’ve likely given serious thought to how and where your data is hosted. But in today’s rapidly evolving digital and geopolitical landscape, it’s no longer just about performance or cost—it’s about control, compliance, and long-term resilience. Have you considered what it truly means to go fully European with your cloud infrastructure?

In an era of rising global tensions and shifting regulatory landscapes, relying on non-European cloud providers increasingly puts your data at risk—especially from extraterritorial laws like the U.S. CLOUD Act. Now is the time to rethink your cloud strategy.

Choosing a sovereign European cloud isn’t just a technical decision—it’s a strategic move toward GDPR compliance, data residency, sustainability, and full operational sovereignty.

 

A Unique European Advantage: Interoperability and Digital Standards

Choosing a European cloud isn’t just about legal jurisdiction—it’s about embracing digital openness, interoperability, and ethical tech standards.

• Align your cloud strategy with EU digital frameworks that promote transparency, vendor neutrality, and open standards—cornerstones of initiatives like GAIA-X and CISPE.
• Choose a cloud that enables data portability and interoperability, so you’re never locked in and always free to adapt as your needs evolve.
• Build a federated, secure, and trustworthy data ecosystem—empowering cross-border collaboration in healthcare, smart cities, industry, and research.

This way of working positions your business to benefit from the next wave of EU digital initiatives, including the European Data Act, AI Act, and Data Governance Act.

European Data Act: aims to make data more accessible and usable across sectors, ensuring fair value distribution and boosting innovation.

AI Act: Introduces a risk-based framework to ensure AI systems used in the EU are safe, transparent, and respect fundamental rights.

Data Governance Act: Facilitates secure data sharing by setting rules for data intermediaries and encouraging trust in voluntary data sharing.

About AmeXio Cloud

In a time when global uncertainty and regulatory complexity challenge how and where you host your data, choosing a cloud built for Europe is no longer just a preference — it’s a strategic imperative. AmeXio Cloud is:

• 100% hosted in France, with no ties to non-European jurisdictions.
• Fully compliant with GDPR and protected from extraterritorial laws like the U.S. CLOUD Act or China’s Data Security Law.
• Aligned with the growing European movement for digital independence, as seen in the Netherlands’ recent policy shift to favor European cloud providers by default—ensuring control and legal clarity for public sector data.
• We are part of an ecosystem aligned with the SecNumCloud framework, the highest level of security certification in France, endorsed by ANSSI (France’s National Cybersecurity Agency). This certification is mandatory for handling sensitive or critical public data and is increasingly required across sectors such as finance, healthcare, and defense.

“Europe must strengthen its digital sovereignty. Data is a strategic asset, and its protection is essential for our economy, our security, and our democracy.”

— Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission
