Cohesity announced its role as a launch partner for the upcoming AWS European Sovereign Cloud. This partnership will bring Cohesity's AI-powered data security and cyber-resilience solutions to the dedicated European cloud environment, helping customers meet stringent data sovereignty, residency, and compliance mandates.
Cohesity is a launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, expected by end of 2025.
The partnership aims to help customers meet Europe's stringent data sovereignty and compliance requirements.
Cohesity will provide its data protection and security solutions within the sovereign cloud environment.
Key capabilities include immutability, multi-role access control, quorum approvals, and air-gapped protection.
The move addresses a rapidly growing sovereign cloud market driven by regulatory demand.
It builds on Cohesity's existing expertise in securing data across AWS environments.
The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is designed as a dedicated environment to help customers comply with Europe's evolving data residency, operational independence, and sovereignty regulations. Cohesity's involvement as a launch partner underscores the critical need for data security solutions built for this paradigm. “Our customers are telling us that digital sovereignty is now a top-tier board-level topic,” said Olivier Savornin, group vice president, Europe, at Cohesity.
Cohesity's Data Cloud platform brings essential cyber-resilience capabilities to the sovereign cloud environment. These include features critical for meeting stringent regulatory controls: immutable backups, multi-role access control, quorum-based approvals for sensitive operations, and air-gapped protection options. These capabilities are designed to ensure data remains secure, recoverable, and under the customer's control within the sovereign jurisdiction.
This partnership extends Cohesity's existing deep integration and expertise across AWS environments. The company already provides data protection and security for cloud workloads on AWS, and this collaboration tailors that offering specifically for the operational and regulatory framework of the European Sovereign Cloud. This allows customers to leverage familiar, industry-leading data security tools while adhering to sovereignty mandates.
The collaboration between Cohesity and AWS is positioned to help organizations balance compliance with innovation. By providing a trusted data security foundation within the sovereign cloud, customers can pursue digital transformation and leverage AWS services with greater confidence, knowing their data protection meets regional regulatory requirements. This is particularly relevant given Gartner's forecast of significant growth in the sovereign cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service market.
By becoming a launch partner, Cohesity is ensuring that its AI-powered data security is available from day one to support European organizations in protecting their most critical asset—data—within a sovereign framework, strengthening both resilience and regulatory compliance.
