Join this roundtable to address real-world challenges and learn how to:

Gain independence and control: understand the strategic shift to sovereign cloud and what it means for data privacy, residency, and national security considerations.

Build resilience and mitigate risk: explore multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies that eliminate single points of failure, avoid vendor lock-in, and ensure your IT ecosystem is secure against geopolitical restrictions or abrupt vendor policy changes.

Leverage Open Source for portability: discover how open source solutions provide the flexibility, privacy, and portability required to meet current and future sovereign requirements, giving you access and transparency without relying on a single vendor.
