Sovereign cloud

The U.S. CLOUD Act allows U.S. authorities to compel American cloud providers such as Azure, AWS, or Google to hand over customer data even if that data is stored outside the United States, including in European data centers.

A sovereign cloud is a cloud computing environment designed to ensure that sensitive data is stored, processed, and managed entirely within EU jurisdiction. The infrastructure is operated by providers that comply with European regulations, including GDPR and broader data sovereignty requirements, ensuring that data remains governed by EU laws and regulatory standards.

Foreign jurisdiction risk

U.S. authorities can legally request data from the providers regardless of where it is stored.
GDPR conflict

U.S. legal requests bypass EU data protection safeguards for processing personal data.
Limited data sovereignty

Control over sensitive business and customer data fall under foreign legal jurisdiction authority.
High infrastructure costs

Large hyperscale platforms often introduce complex pricing models, egress fees, and managed service costs that can become expensive over time.

EU Cloud

OTC

Scaleway

IONOS

EU jurisdiction and governance

Data is stored and processed under European legal frameworks and subject only to EU regulations.
GDPR alignment

Infrastructure is designed specifically to support EU data protection and privacy expectations.
Data sovereignty

Sensitive corporate and customer data remains under European legal control and jurisdiction.
Better cost efficiency

Many European providers offer simpler pricing models and significantly lower infrastructure costs for comparable workloads.

Services

Our engineers study your existing infrastructure and design an equivalent setup on a European provider of your choice.

Most migrations follow a fixed-price assessment or a capped execution phase. You always know what you are paying for.

Free consultation

We understand your setup, concerns, and goals.

30 – 60 minutes

Infrastructure review

We assess compute, storage, networking, security, and dependencies.

1 – 2 weeks

Migration proposal

Solution architecture with clear scope, timeline, and pricing — no surprises.

2 – 4 weeks

Execution

We migrate to your chosen provider in a controlled and reversible way.

2 – 8 weeks

Validation & handover

We verify functionality, performance, and security.

1 – 2 weeks

Optimisation

Optional

Tuning, monitoring, and ongoing support to keep everything running smoothly.

2 – 4 weeks

Solution Architecture

Based on your regulatory requirements, technical constraints, and project velocity.

Lift-and-Shift Migration

Recreates your existing infrastructure on a European cloud provider with minimal changes to applications or architecture.

Hybrid Cloud Architecture

Runs part of your infrastructure on a European provider while selected components remain on your existing cloud platform.

Fastest migration path to European infrastructure

Lower migration risk due to familiar architecture

Predictable scope and timeline

Architecture remains largely the same as before

Some cost or performance optimizations may come later

You want to move quickly to EU-based infrastructure

The goal is reducing jurisdiction or compliance risk

Existing systems are stable and working well

CloudUnited ApS is an engineering-led consultancy helping organizations move their infrastructure and data to European cloud environments.

The company is 100% owned and operated by engineers with many years of hands-on experience designing and operating cloud systems. Our team brings practical expertise in building reliable, compliant, and well-architected cloud solutions.

Our offices are located in Copenhagen (headquarters and engineering) and Vilnius (engineering). We believe cloud infrastructure should be built responsibly and transparently.
