This is cool and all, but what would the alternative be? Handling the data on-premises?
On-prem with off-prem backups is a good way to go.
Why not?
I’m not saying no to it I’m just curious if they’re targeting some other cloud provider or if we’re going back to actually handling data on premises and handling the maintenance/availability of those systems
There are a handful of EU cloud providers. In addition, at least some EU countries have what amounts to a governmental cloud provider, providing services to government agencies and ministries.
