evroc's European Sovereign Cloud Ambitions Likely To Fall Short Of Reality

摘要

1. Plans to create Europe's first sovereign cloud platform are laudable but will be difficult to achieve without direct support from the European Commission and the region's key sector stakeholders. 2. There is a pressing need to create a European hyperscaler capable of competing directly with global players such as AWS and Microsoft, not least because of regulatory incompatibilities. 3. However, previous lacklustre attempts have failed to gain traction and the most successful European player - France's OVH - is yet to attain the requisite scale and brand recognition.
