Vultr Recognized for Strength in Data Sovereignty and Security in Omdia Market Radar: Sovereign Cloud 2025

Vultr, world’s largest privately-held cloud infrastructure company, announced its inclusion as a vendor in the 2025 Omdia Market Radar: Sovereign Cloud (registration required).

Sovereign cloud has gained significant traction in recent years as organizations and governments seek greater control over their data while still reaping the benefits of cloud computing. This surge in demand is driven by the increasing need for digital sovereignty – ensuring data remains within specific geographic boundaries, whether national or regional. As regulatory frameworks across the globe require that some or all data stay within particular jurisdictions, sovereign cloud has emerged as a leading infrastructure requirement worldwide.

The Omdia Market Radar explores the sovereign cloud market and how CSPs have responded to this globally emerging trend. The Omdia model for sovereign cloud is defined by 6 levels of sovereignty, which can be mapped to a country’s stated position on data protection, processing, control, and privacy requirements.

“Increased global scrutiny and stricter data privacy regulations have put the need for sovereign clouds to the forefront, fueling the emergence of a new market and intensifying competition among cloud service providers,” said Roy Illsley, chief analyst, Omdia. “Vultr has developed an approach to public cloud that is more agile and can be deployed within countries the hyperscale cloud providers find uneconomical to enter.”

Launched in early 2024, Vultr Sovereign Cloud is a bespoke offering for governments, research institutions, and enterprises to access essential cloud-native infrastructure while ensuring that critical data, technology, and operations remain within national borders and comply with local regulations. Unlike traditional cloud service providers where data might be processed or transmitted outside a chosen location, Vultr puts customers in control, with data remaining resident within the chosen country or region.

“At Vultr, we believe that data sovereignty is a cornerstone of trust and security in the digital age,” said J.J. Kardwell, CEO, Vultr. “Our approach ensures customers maintain full ownership of their data, regardless of how and where it is stored. This gives customers peace of mind that their sensitive information remains secure and managed in a compliant way. With 32 cloud data center regions worldwide, we are committed to empowering our global customers to operate with confidence, knowing their data is both protected and under their control.”
