IDC's Worldwide Sovereign Cloud Market Forecast 2022-2027 projects that investments in sovereign cloud infrastructure will climb by an average of 27 per year, reaching 258 billion by 2027. The rapid expansion underscores the growing organizational reliance on data as a strategic asset and the critical importance of stronger oversight, protection, and compliance across all environments, including public and private clouds, sovereign systems, and data centers. Empowering enterprises to handle data securely, within clearly defined geographical and operational parameters, allows those in heavily regulated industries to confidently shape where and how they deploy AI workloads.
