HCLTech, a prominent global technology company, has been announced as an official launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (ESC), a newly introduced independent cloud service for Europe. The launch took place in Brandenburg, Germany, marking a significant step in cloud services tailored for European needs.
The AWS European Sovereign Cloud offers a fully managed infrastructure based entirely within the European Union, featuring stringent technical safeguards and legal frameworks. This infrastructure is designed to cater to the specific requirements of European public sector and enterprises, ensuring data residency and operational autonomy by operating separately from existing AWS Regions.
As a launch partner, HCLTech will assist clients in meeting the demanding operational autonomy and data residency standards within the EU, delivering services with enhanced security, speed, and agility. HCLTech’s selection as a partner is attributed to its expertise in managing complex, regulated workloads across Europe and its strong alignment with AWS’s technical standards.
HCLTech’s status as a Premier Tier Services Partner and its participation in AWS early-access programs underscore its extensive cloud and security proficiency. The company holds multiple AWS competencies, including security, networking, cloud resilience, high-performance computing, managed security services, and GenAI. Recognised as AWS Partner of the Year in Financial Services (APJ) and a Global Finalist in GenAI Consult, HCLTech is poised to collaborate closely with AWS to ensure the operational readiness and governance necessary for sovereign cloud adoption.
Prabhakar Appana, SVP and Global Head of AWS Business Unit at HCLTech, stated, “European organisations are seeking cloud innovation that respects sovereignty without slowing transformation. 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.”
