A glimpse into the findings

Based on insights from 300 professionals across Europe (55%) and the US (45%), data collection indicates:

European CSP adoption uptake

Organizations in Europe and the US are increasingly considering European cloud service providers (CSPs) due to factors like regulatory pressures, data sovereignty concerns, and risk diversification.

Data residency paramount

At least 90% of organizations store data on servers within their own region, with European organizations are particularly cautious about storing data with US-based CSPs due to geopolitical and legal concerns.

AI to the fore of future priorities

Integrating AI into cloud infrastructure is a key priority for one-third of organizations in the near future, with stronger emphasis in the US (40%) compared to Europe (28%).

What our partners say

Hailey HR

“Before working with UpCloud, we were using an American provider, however, that was before our platform handled large amounts of sensitive customer data. Once we began storing more sensitive information, we made the switch to European servers owned by a European company.”

Peter Weibull, Chief Engineer at Hailey HR

Hack The Box

“Onboarding with UpCloud was seamless. We enjoyed the easy-to-follow documentation and the fact that all our questions were answered immediately! During our PoC time, we saw significant improvements in good-to-go times for our services while the proposed private cloud plan decreased costs by around 30%.”

Thiseas Meggos, Director of Infrastructure at Hack The Box

Adeona

“Collaboration with UpCloud is easy and flexible. The support is fast and the level of expertise is high. It’s easy to trust that things are working as they should, and in case we have any questions, they are answered rapidly.”

Janne Costiander, CTO at Adeona

Hosted Power

“The servers are absolutely blazing fast and ultra-reliable, and we’ve been very happy customers for years, furthermore, the partnership with UpCloud is excellent!”
