Sovereign Cloud

Customize your data residency and access controls within the public cloud environment. Core customer data is stored in your chosen region and cannot move. Administrative access is logged, audited, and controlled by your predefined conditions. Manage and control your encryption keys, including external storage. Specify personnel access to your region. An optional partner can provide supervision for key management and audits, tailoring security to your specific needs.

Meet your sovereignty requirements with dedicated infrastructure and independent operations delivered by a local partner on isolated infrastructure. In Europe, our offering in collaboration with Thales, provides a robust set of Google Cloud services, including GPUs to support AI workloads dedicated to a region. In France, it is operated by S3NS, a standalone French entity. S3NS’ solution is designed to meet the rigorous security and operational resilience requirements of France’s SecNumCloud standards.

Google Distributed Cloud brings Google Cloud to on-premises environments. It uses commercial hardware and Kubernetes. It offers infrastructure, security, data, and AI services (including Gemini).

It is offered in two modes: connected and air-gapped. The connected mode offers low latency and data residency by keeping data on-premises. The air-gapped mode isolates the system from the public internet. It runs independently and cannot be remotely shut down by Google, making it ideal for defense and national security use cases.

Available local operating partners are helping deliver sovereign solutions globally.
