SAP data sovereignty service lets customers run cloud workloads inside their data centers

SAP customers will be able to achieve a new level of data sovereignty and independence by running workloads entirely within their own datacenters, the German ERP giant has promised.

SAP Sovereign Cloud On-Site is a new service launched in conjunction with the announcement of  the global availability of the company’s Sovereign Cloud platform.

In practice, this will mean local SAP or SAP certified personnel will manage SAP Sovereign Cloud On-Site workloads in a datacenter approved by the customer. Data handling, logging and key management will be managed and audited by the customer. Any third party providers involved will be required to meet the same standards of sovereignty to prevent backdoors caused by supply chain issues.
