An Assessment of Sovereign Cloud Solutions Offered by Five Global Cloud Providers


This IDC Market Perspective assesses sovereign cloud solutions offered by five major global cloud providers: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle. There is growing interest in sovereign cloud solutions globally, with 53% of organizations surveyed planning to use or currently using such solutions. The main business benefit of using sovereign cloud solutions, as identified by 44% of respondents, is a stronger security posture. This report describes each provider's approach to sovereign cloud solutions. These range from products and services that are purportedly "sovereign by design" (as typified by AWS) to those that are "designed for sovereignty" (as typified by Oracle)."Providers that will make headway in the sovereign cloud market are those that can educate the market about how important sovereignty is and what is needed for successful implementation. Those that consider other attributes of sovereignty beyond data sovereignty and recognize the complexities of implementing digital sovereignty in the real world will also succeed," said Rahiel Nasir, lead analyst for IDC Worldwide Digital Sovereignty and associate research director for IDC European Cloud.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
