Cubbit, SUSE, Elemento Cloud, and StorPool Storage have jointly launched a solution to provide sovereign disaster recovery services for European organizations. The system is designed to guarantee business continuity for organizations in the face of uncontrollable catastrophic external events, including a potential foreign vendor kill-switch. It also safeguards European enterprises’ data and operations while protecting them from dependencies on foreign technology infrastructure.
The initiative gives European organizations a fast, concrete answer to an increasingly urgent question: which critical workloads should move to a fully sovereign European IT software stack; and how companies can start doing so immediately, without disruption.
Focused on addressing the specific need to handle disaster scenarios, this pack also represents a practical first step towards data repatriation and regaining control of workloads from non-European vendors.
The Sovereign Disaster Recovery Pack combines complementary technologies spanning from storage and multi-cloud orchestration to network, identity, observability, and management, bringing together European open-source and proprietary components in a single deployable stack designed to reduce fragmentation and accelerate adoption. With implementation taking just a few hours, the Sovereign Disaster Recovery Pack enables organizations to put in place a practical way to reduce reliance on non-European cloud infrastructure without replacing everything at once. Additional integrations are expected to follow as further integrated use cases are made public.
The Sovereign Disaster Recovery Pack enables organizations to identify critical services, build and validate a sovereign recovery setup, and progressively extend it across other workloads through synchronisation and migration. It also provides a practical route to support compliance with stringent frameworks such as NIS2, DORA, GDPR, and regional laws, while preserving full European sovereignty across the technology stack. In this way, disaster recovery becomes not only a resilience measure, but also a practical first step towards a broader sovereign cloud strategy.
The four companies partnering on this initiative are:
