Leaseweb Powers the Future of European Cloud Sovereignty

Leaseweb, a leading cloud services and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider, today shared a major update on its contribution to the EU’s Important Projects of Common European Interest on Cloud Infrastructure and Services (IPCEI-CIS). With its European Cloud Campus project, Leaseweb is actively building the foundation for a sovereign European cloud – designed to protect sensitive data, comply with EU regulations, and ensure that Europe’s digital infrastructure is no longer dependent on US providers.

In the last nine months, Leaseweb has made an industry-leading contribution to the IPCEI-CIS initiative, including developing powerful and flexible cloud infrastructure. This includes creating a scalable compute platform with enhanced automation capabilities, including an open API to streamline automation initially for virtual machines, with plans to integrate physical servers and storage in 2025-26. The company has also developed data integration tools for interaction with public cloud compute services, with ongoing enhancements for greater efficiency and scalability. Additionally, Leaseweb has created a flexible, multi-tenant system for running applications, enabling independent operations within shared clusters. This incorporates backend services and a scalable container platform, currently in beta, with full integration expected in 2025. These activities form the foundation for new, sovereign cloud services in Europe.

As the platform expands, Leaseweb continues to enhance management tools, ensuring an intuitive and adaptable cloud environment, further expanding compute and storage capabilities with increased automation and flexibility. Strengthening the integration between compute and container platforms will be a key priority, allowing for more efficient operations. In addition, Leaseweb is committed to enhancing monitoring and self-healing features, ensuring the cloud infrastructure remains resilient, scalable, and future-proof.
