HCLTech joined AWS as a launch partner for the European Sovereign Cloud initiative. According to the company, this separate cloud region will operate entirely within the EU and cater specifically to public sector organizations requiring enhanced regulatory oversight and data residency controls.
Being a launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud allows us to apply our deep regulatory and operational expertise in a way that gives clients confidence, control and continuity as they modernise their most critical systems,
said Prabhakar Appana, Senior Vice-President and Global Head of AWS Business Unit at HCLTech.
HCLTech was chosen for the partnership based on multiple factors, including its established experience managing regulated environments across Europe and its existing relationship with AWS as a Premier Tier Services Partner. The company brings capabilities spanning security, networking, cloud resilience, high-performance computing, managed security services, and generative AI to the partnership.
The AWS European Sovereign Cloud addresses growing demand from European governments for cloud infrastructure that maintains data sovereignty and compliance with stringent EU regulations. HCLTech‘s involvement provides public sector organizations with a trusted partner experienced in navigating complex regulatory frameworks while modernizing critical infrastructure on cloud platforms.
HCLTech will begin onboarding public sector clients to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud platform.
