Building a Sovereign Cloud with Cloudian
Data sovereignty and sovereign clouds have taken on a new significance in the world today. As organizations around the world generate troves of data, they are keenly aware of the need to comply with the sovereignty laws of the land where this data resides
The need for compliance creates a complicated patchwork of requirements. Data hosted in a particular country should be under that country’s jurisdiction, not a foreign entity. It is also essential to consider the privacy laws in the country where the data was collected. Beyond that, there are the organization’s own requirements for data privacy, data residency, data protection and data security.
Given this complexity, it is no surprise that organizations are increasingly working with service providers to help them implement data security and data protection measures, and to help navigate regulations to ensure compliance with data privacy legislation. This presents an opportunity for cloud providers to meet this demand with end-to-end cloud services that are scalable, cost effective, and secure.
Solution
With Cloudian technology, xSPs can gain competitive advantage by helping customers take control of their data with comprehensive data sovereignty strategies and fully compliant sovereign clouds.
VMware provides validated designs which act as blueprints for xSPs for building and operating cloud infrastructure that can meet sovereignty needs while allowing for a wide range of cloud services offerings. Cloudian object storage management is integrated into VMware Cloud Director, offering durable, scalable, and feature-rich storage that lets xSPs deploy and manage S3-compatible storage within their services environment. Cloudian features the industry’s most compatible S3-API, with a fully native implementation that eliminates gateways and access layers, making it a perfect match for highly secure, sovereign cloud environments built with VMware.
CLOUDIAN SOLUTION
- S3-compatible storage
- Start small and grow to exabytes
- Military-grade security
- Data immutability with S3 Object Lock
- All-flash and HDD-based appliances
- 70% lower TCO than traditional SAN and NAS storage
HOW IT HELPS
- Solves the data sovereignty challenge with fully on-prem storage
- Eliminates WAN latency
- Delivers capacity-on-demand for data-intensive use cases
- Proven interoperable with S3-enabled applications
Data Sovereignty Requirements for xSPs outside United States
As organizations generate exponential volumes of unstructured data, it’s important for Managed Service Providers and/or Cloud Service Providers (xSPs) to be able to offer broad, end-to-end cloud services that are scalable, cost effective, and secure.
This in-depth white paper covers the 5 most important things xSPs outside the USA need to know about their data in the era of sovereign cloud:
- Privacy
- Residency
- Sovereignty
- Protection & Management
- Security
Data needs to be stored on-premises in the country it was collected to be protected by national laws. For this purpose, object storage is a more affordable, scalable solution than block or file. xSPs also need to embed data protection into the cloud stack with backup, encryption, and micro- segmentation capabilities to secure workloads.

Confessions of a public cloud provider:
End-user data has left the country
Join VMware, Veeam, and Cloudian for a fireside chat about data sovereignty to learn:
- What really happens to data when it’s processed by a hyperscaler in the public cloud?
- How are hyperscalers responding to the requirements of the market to protect their data?
- What is the role of MSPs when building Sovereign Cloud environments for their customers?
Data Lakehouse-as-a-Service for Sovereign VMware Cloud
Modern analytics applications have evolved in the public cloud. However, where data sovereignty is a concern, organizations have not been able to take advantage of many of these analytics paradigm shifts
Therefore, Enterprises that need to maintain data sovereignty often look to Managed Service Providers to help them modernize analytics while maintaining data sovereignty, security, and privacy.
There is a huge opportunity to combine the scale and efficiency of S3 data lakes with the data management and ACID transactions of data warehouses and offer a sovereign Data Lakehouse as a Service that is secure, affordable, and scalable.
Cloudian HyperStore is an on-prem S3 Data Lake that integrates with VMware Greenplum, an analytics tool built on open standards. This combination is made for xSP success, with multi-tenancy, billing, metering, and the ability to expand to petabyte scale on-demand.
Implementing Multi-Tenanted Storage for Internal and Managed Service Providers
Cloudian HyperStore provides a pure Software Defined Storage platform that delivers industry-leading data integrity and protection with massive storage capacity scalability from 1 to 1,000s of nodes growing to support 100s of petabytes (PBs) with flexibility on storage access via the Amazon S3 Restful API. It provides a multi-tenanted storage platform that segregates customers/users/applications from each other while using the same physical platform.
Service Providers can quickly implement customer-ready services that include:
- Multi-tenant pooled managed infrastructure
- Offer multiple service level options to their customers
- Self-service administration for customers
Building A Data Lakehouse Service In Sovereign Cloud
With a focus on data sovereignty, VMware Cloud brings modern data analytics with a Data Lakehouse offering that combines the flexibility, cost-efficiency, and scale of data lakes built on Cloudian HyperStore S3 object storage, with the data management and ACID transactions of VMware Greenplum, a massively parallel processing (MPP) data warehouse platform.
Join experts from VMware Cloud, VMware Greenplum, and Cloudian to learn about offering a Sovereign Data Lakehouse-as-a-Service.
