Sovereign Cloud & EU Infrastructure Migration
Practical support for organizations moving Linux workloads toward EU-based infrastructure. We focus on operational risk management and engineering execution — not vendor advocacy. Better control, clearer data residency and reduced concentration risk.
Why this is a practical infrastructure decision
The movement toward EU-based infrastructure is driven by several converging factors. We approach this as a risk management and operational strategy question, not an ideological one.
Regulatory & contractual requirements
GDPR, NIS2, DORA, sector-specific regulations and enterprise client contracts increasingly specify or strongly imply EU data location. Running on EU infrastructure simplifies compliance documentation and reduces legal exposure for organizations handling EU personal data or operating in regulated sectors.
Vendor concentration risk
Over-reliance on a single infrastructure provider — particularly one operating under non-EU jurisdiction — creates concentration risk: pricing changes, service deprecation, policy shifts or geopolitical events can all affect your operations. Diversifying toward EU providers reduces that exposure.
Data residency clarity
Knowing exactly where your data lives and under which jurisdiction simplifies customer conversations, due diligence processes and regulatory reporting. EU-based infrastructure with documented provider terms makes those conversations concrete rather than speculative.
Operational control & auditability
EU infrastructure providers, including many specialized hosting companies and colocation facilities, typically offer more direct operational relationships, clearer SLAs and easier access to support compared to large hyperscaler abstractions. That can translate directly to better incident response and faster recovery.
Who this is for
EU-based SaaS & software companies
Companies serving EU customers who need to clearly communicate where data is hosted and processed, and who want to reduce dependency on providers outside their operational jurisdiction.
Fintech & regulated businesses
Financial sector companies and their technology suppliers facing DORA, GDPR and data sovereignty expectations who need documented EU infrastructure with clear contractual and operational controls.
Hosting & infrastructure providers
Hosting companies building or expanding EU infrastructure who need Linux operations expertise to provision, configure, document and operate the new environment.
Companies exiting hyperscalers
Organizations that have decided to move away from AWS, GCP or Azure — whether for cost, control or regulatory reasons — and need a technically solid migration to EU-based dedicated or cloud infrastructure.
Organizations building hybrid infrastructure
Teams that want to retain some existing infrastructure while moving specific workloads or data sets to EU-based providers, and need help designing and executing that split cleanly.
E-commerce & digital platforms
EU-facing e-commerce businesses that want to demonstrate EU data hosting to customers, satisfy platform or payment provider requirements and reduce their international infrastructure risk profile.
What we do
We document what you currently run, where it runs, what it depends on and what the migration order and risk profile for each component is.
We assess EU infrastructure options (OVHcloud, Hetzner, Scaleway, Exoscale, IONOS and others) against your requirements: geography, cost, performance, SLA, compliance posture and operational model.
Step-by-step migration procedures for each component, with pre-migration validation, migration steps, post-migration verification and rollback procedures. Nothing is done without a documented plan.
Every migration phase includes a clear rollback path. We do not commit to cutover until the target environment is validated and rollback is tested or documented.
Where appropriate, we help replace proprietary cloud services (managed databases, object storage, queuing) with open-source equivalents on your EU infrastructure, reducing ongoing provider lock-in.
After migration, we monitor the new environment, resolve any operational issues, document the final state and ensure your team is confident in operating and maintaining the migrated infrastructure.
Typical outcomes
All workloads running on EU-based providers with clear documentation of physical location, provider jurisdiction and contractual terms.
No single provider concentration risk, with clear contingency paths if any individual provider changes pricing, policies or service availability.
Phased, documented migrations with rollback planning and validation at each stage — not big-bang cutovers that create operational risk.
The technical foundation for data residency claims: actual EU hosting with documented provider agreements and operational evidence.
Your team understands the new infrastructure, has documentation to operate it and has been involved in the migration process — not handed a black box.
