What IS sovereign cloud, and why is everyone suddenly talking about it? In this episode, we bring back the brilliant Cecile Kellam, senior solutions architect at NetApp, to break it all down, alongside our very own Phoebe Goh and Mekka Williams. Cecile doesn’t just demystify sovereign cloud—she shares why it’s become one of the hottest topics in tech.
From geopolitical drama to protecting your organization’s “secret sauce” (whether that’s state secrets or cutting-edge IP), Cecile explains how sovereign cloud is more than just a private cloud with a fancy name. It’s a whole “trust” architecture designed to keep your data safe, compliant, and exactly where it needs to be.
But it’s not all sunshine and sovereignty. Cecile dives into the trade-offs—like the risk of creating a “self-imposed digital blackout”—and the challenges of balancing data protection with mobility. Plus, she dishes on how sovereign cloud is making waves in industries like healthcare, finance, and AI, where data sovereignty is becoming non-negotiable.
Thinking about jumping on the sovereign cloud bandwagon? Cecile’s got some advice: don’t let compliance fears push you into a knee-jerk decision. Educate yourself, avoid vendor lock-in, and make sure it’s the right solution for your needs. Sometimes, a smarter move is just extending your business continuity plan across multiple public clouds.
