Why Sovereign Cloud?
Sovereign Cloud refers to cloud services that are operated by domestic providers and are subject to local regulations, ensuring Data Sovereignty and security.
There’s a significant global demand for Sovereign Cloud solutions, particularly within highly regulated industries such as finance.
In Malaysia, certified cloud providers like AVM Cloud are offering VMware Sovereign Cloud to help enterprises continue to leverage cloud benefits —availability, accessibility, security, and scalability. It also ensures control over deploying sensitive workloads and keeps data integrity secure within Malaysia’s borders.

Choosing a Sovereign Cloud: Key Criteria
Organisations venturing into the sovereignty journey should collaborate with certified and trusted partners well-versed in its complexity. Experience and alignment with these criteria are pivotal:
• Data is exclusively stored within the country.
• Managed by a local cloud company.
• Data handling is conducted by local employees.
These measures ensure sensitive data, including metadata, remains on sovereign soil, preventing foreign access in any scenario to meet the strictest privacy, residency, locality and governance requirements.
AVM Cloud fulfils all these criteria and recently earned the prestigious VMware Sovereign Cloud distinction, becoming one of the only few select providers offering both VMware Sovereign Cloud and VMware Cloud Verified Services.
