US based hyperscalers continue to dominate digital infrastructure worldwide. Yet across Europe, there is a growing movement to protect data from both cyber threats and extraterritorial laws, and to ensure full regulatory compliance.

It goes beyond simple data residency.

Microsoft’s forced unbundling of Teams in the EU is more than an antitrust event.
