At UpCloud, we’ve always believed that you should have full control of your data. That’s why we’re excited to announce a new partnership with Solita, a leading European AI and data transformation company. 

This collaboration is designed to provide European businesses with a cost-efficient, secure, and high-performance cloud solution close to home. 

The growing need for digital sovereignty

In an increasingly complex digital landscape, the concept of digital sovereignty has become more critical than ever. Geopolitical tensions and evolving data regulations mean that organizations are looking for more control over their critical digital infrastructure, wanting to know exactly where their data is located, who owns the infrastructure it’s on and that it’s protected under European laws.

This is precisely what our partnership with Solita aims to address.

A powerful combination of expertise and infrastructure

UpCloud provides a robust cloud platform with infrastructure owned and operated exclusively in Europe. This ensures data remains within EU borders, giving customers full control and peace of mind. 

Solita complements our infrastructure with deep expertise in strategic advisory, cloud migration, application modernization, and managed security services. Together, we can help businesses build and manage a secure, cost-efficient, and sovereign cloud environment.

Expanding our European DC footprint

To meet the growing demand for sovereign cloud platforms, we are expanding our network of data centers. We’ll be launching new data centers in both Denmark and Norway in the coming months, further solidifying our commitment to the European market.

As our CTO, Joel Pihlajamaa, puts it: “We firmly believe in the principle ‘your data, your rules’ and offer customers cost-efficient choices that give them full control over their data and its physical location. With our expanding network of European data centers, we can ensure sovereignty and security at the highest level.”

Our new partnership with Solita will enable even more businesses to build a digital future that is secure, compliant, and truly their own.
