Global Cloud Datacenter Provision in Europe: The Continent's Top and Upcoming Destinations for Major Cloud Players, 2023
This IDC Market Perspective discusses trends in cloud datacenter provision in Europe. Cloud usage continues to expand in Europe, with all organizations in IDC's 2022 European Multicloud Survey using such technologies and services to some degree. This has fueled datacenter expansion for the top 5 global cloud providers. These cloud regions are vital as they can support local cloud users with local resources and reduced latency. While Microsoft Azure and AWS dominate European cloud markets and are preferred cloud service providers for many organizations. However, IDC research reveals that this can vary by country and industry sector where, in some instances, Google Cloud displaces AWS for second position.As cloud usage increases, so do concerns about security, data privacy, and trust. Given this context and current geopolitical uncertainties highlighted by the Russia-Ukraine War, Europe has witnessed an increased need for IT solutions that offer digital sovereignty. Global cloud infrastructure providers are meeting this challenge with cloud and datacenter solutions that adhere to sovereign principles mandated by data privacy legislation and industry regulations."As a result of the above concerns and requirements, European organizations are expected to slightly shift away from using global cloud providers as their preferred partners," says Rahiel Nasir, associate research director, European Cloud. "Over the next two years, users will seek sovereign cloud providers, telcos, and system integrators, but it should be noted that this will likely be part of their multicloud strategies that still includes, rather than replaces, global cloud providers."
