A new report by market intelligence firm IDC has predicted a surge in the adoption of sovereign clouds across Asia Pacific governments in the wake of geopolitical tensions and data privacy regulations.
The report revealed that one-third of the APAC governments plan to adopt sovereign cloud by 2026, driven by concerns around cyberthreats, evolving data residency regulations, and data security.
“Governments also see sovereign cloud as an economic advantage, encouraging investments from hyperscalers in local data centers to enhance the digital economy and industry prospects,” the report said.
