Description

This IDC Market Perspective report highlights significant developments in the global sovereign cloud market during the second half of 2024. The main drivers for adopting sovereign cloud solutions include regulatory compliance, national/regional legislation, and protection against extra-territorial data requests. The report covers regional updates, including strategic partnerships and investments in Asia/Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East, emphasizing the growing interest in digital sovereignty. It also provides insights into what customers look for in a sovereign cloud provider and the unique benefits that can be potentially gained from adoption of sovereign cloud solutions. There is also advice for providers about the importance of leveraging local and global partnerships to meet sovereignty requirements. “The market is rapidly evolving. In the past, providers were occupied with defining the meaning of digital sovereignty and developing solutions accordingly. Now, however, they are delivering those solutions and forming strategic alliances and partnerships to help customer deployments. While Europe still attracts the most interest from sovereign cloud providers, overall cloud usage continues to expand globally. Moreover, with AI now also thrown into the mix, there is heightened activity across the Middle East and Asia as organizations recognize the potential benefits to be gained from sovereignty.” Rahiel Nasir, IDC Research Director for European Cloud Strategies and Lead Analyst for Worldwide Digital Sovereignty.

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.
