Sovereign Cloud gaining traction in UK and Europe, says newsletter

Tomorrows newsletter will focus on Sovereign Cloud and why it's gaining traction in the UK and Europe. I won't go into the reasons here so you'll have to read the newsletter tomorrow. Interestingly at DCD Connect this week i ended up having a number of conversations about Sovereign Cloud so its something that is gaining traction. This can only be a good thing for the DC industry. This also comes on the back of the news Billions will be invested in the UK following the state visit of President Trump on technology especially around AI infrastructure. Will be interesting to see if the UK Gov has done a deal on energy subsides as compared to the US our costs are astronomical! #ai #gpu #hpc #colocation #datacenters #aifactory #cloud #sovereigncloud

Day One over of #dcdconnect and two conflicting messages coming across… 1. “Panic! Our planning and energy environment is toxic to the US hyperscalers we want to attract to the UK” 2. “Panic! We have too many US hyperscalers here and we need more UK sovereign cloud and AI providers” It doesn’t help that the UK government frets about no.2, while financially supporting no.1 as well.

“Encrypted in transit” is not the same as unreachable by law, and every enterprise knows it. The Cloud Act reminds us that where your data is processed matters. Even with hyperscaler "confidential computing," jurisdictional access remains a risk. On-premise AI infrastructure has quietly reached a tipping point: 96GB+ unified memory is now achievable on a single workstation GPU Today's enterprise LLMs (gpt-oss-120b, Qwen3, DeepSeek) can run without multi-GPU complexity Hardware-based encryption keeps data secure even during inference 🛡️ This isn’t about mistrust. It’s about reality. If your enterprise cannot afford to rely on trust, true sovereignty starts with owning your infrastructure. The cloud isn’t going away, but for your most sensitive workloads, the edge has arrived. #SovereignAI #EnterpriseAI #CloudAct #DataSovereignty #OnPremiseAI #AIInfrastructure #ConfidentialComputing #AIGovernance

#Energy attorney Willie Phillips was featured in a DatacenterDynamics article exploring how Amazon Web Services’ attempted “behind‑the‑meter” power deal with Talen Energy for its Cumulus #datacenter became a flashpoint for powering #AI and cloud‑scale infrastructure. Mr. Phillips talked about the need for regional and national coordination to meet a surging demand. Read here: https://bit.ly/4go80ql

AI isn't the only paradigm-shifting technology that organizations are trying to get on top of. Practical quantum computing is on the way, too, and technologists are preparing for that revolution by looking to the cloud, where they can tap into the mind-boggling power of the qubit. https://hubs.ly/Q03FDhkZ0 Real Vision Software, Inc.

Edge AI is on the rise. More companies are moving AI models closer to where data is created - at the “edge” of networks. That means faster insights, less reliance on the cloud, and new applications across industries. We put together a primer on what edge computing is, why it matters, and how it connects to AI’s future: https://lnkd.in/g8GRjpxS Where do you see the biggest opportunities for Edge AI?
