Skaylink collaborates with AWS to deploy Sovereign Cloud Solutions on AWS European Sovereign Cloud
Munich, January 15 – Skaylink, a leading German cloud and security specialist and AWS Digital Sovereignty competency partner, announced they will be a launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, a new independent cloud for Europe which will launch in the State of Brandenburg, Germany.
Skaylink’s Sovereign Cloud solutions and managed services will be available on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, further supporting its growing European customer base. Skaylink’s solution provides secure Landing Zone blueprints, EU-based 24/7 CloudOps support and regulatory compliance expertise while providing customers with the same security, availability and performance they expect from AWS. This will enable Skaylink’s customers across healthcare, financial services, telecommunications, automotive and critical infrastructure to meet stringent operational autonomy and data residency requirements within the European Union (EU).
The AWS European Sovereign Cloud will be a fully-featured, independently operated sovereign cloud backed by strong technical controls, sovereign assurances and legal protections designed to meet the needs of European governments and enterprises. The AWS European Sovereign Cloud infrastructure will be entirely located within the EU and operated independently from existing Regions. Only AWS employees, residing in the EU, will control day-to-day operations, including access to data centers, technical support and customer service for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. As with existing AWS Regions, customers will have the control and assurance that AWS will not access or use customer data for any purpose without their agreement, as well as access to the strongest sovereignty controls among leading cloud providers.
“The high level of interest in sovereign cloud solutions in the German market highlights the crucial importance of digital sovereignty for businesses and the public sector. As a launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, we are delighted to support our customers on their sovereign cloud journey. We look forward to collaborating with them to further develop our sovereign cloud services and ensure they perfectly comply with their specific regulatory and operational requirements. I am especially pleased that, from now on, Vodafone customers will also be able to purchase Sovereign Cloud Services through us.”
Customers can begin planning their transition to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud today.
