Microsoft and Proximus NXT are jointly developing sovereign cloud solutions that combine Azure capabilities with the local expertise of Proximus Group. The pair are specifically aiming to accelerate the development and deployment of sovereign cloud solutions in Belgium and Luxembourg.
At the core of this approach is Azure Local disconnected operations, which enables organizations to operate autonomous cloud environments that can be disconnected temporarily or permanently from the public cloud, while still benefiting from Azure’s essential services. Proximus NXT now provides an operational test environment enabling organizations to assess these disconnected sovereign cloud solutions.
These solutions address the needs of organizations facing heightened requirements in terms of sovereignty, security, and service continuity, particularly in sectors such as healthcare, finance, and public administration.
