OpenText and TELUS today announced the launch of the OpenText and TELUS Canadian Sovereign Cloud. This offering empowers Canadian organizations and government agencies with access to enterprise-grade cloud computing and AI capabilities while ensuring complete data sovereignty — with every application, dataset, computation and network operation remaining securely within Canadian borders.
This strategic partnership brings together Canadian infrastructure, AI innovation and trusted advisory services to deliver a truly sovereign, secure and scalable cloud AI platform designed specifically for Canadian enterprises and government institutions. Today, OpenText already serves 1,600 Canadian institutions with nearly a thousand organizations actively using and benefiting from AI-powered applications in the cloud. Now, Canadian customers have access to a fully sovereign cloud and AI environment that meets the highest standards of data residency, security and compliance.
A Canadian-first cloud and AI platform
The OpenText and TELUS Canadian Sovereign Cloud is a purpose-built, enterprise-ready solution that runs entirely within TELUS’ Canadian data centers, including highly secure facilities in Rimouski, Quebec, and Kamloops, British Columbia. It delivers high-performance AI computing capabilities within a secure environment, providing essential sovereign AI compute services for organizations requiring both advanced AI workloads and absolute compliance with Canadian security standards and privacy regulations.
A commercially proven solution
OpenText and TELUS, both early signatories of the Government of Canada’s voluntary AI code of conduct, have long-standing track records of serving Canadian governments, businesses and institutions. With this new offering, OpenText and TELUS are extending their capabilities to meet the evolving needs of our clients.
In addition, OpenText’s family of Aviator AI products will leverage TELUS’ pioneering AI Factory to offer a sovereign configuration hosted entirely in Canada, enabling customers to realize the benefits of AI-enabled search and summarize while keeping data secure within Canadian borders.
OpenText’s private cloud solutions are available through existing procurement vehicles and have undergone rigorous technical evaluation, making them ready for deployment today.
Supporting Canadian innovation and growth
The launch represents OpenText’s and TELUS’ broader commitment to Canadian innovation. The OpenText and TELUS Canadian Sovereign Cloud offers a uniquely Canadian solution that combines cloud agility with sovereign assurance, demonstrating how Canadian organizations can compete globally while maintaining complete control over their most valuable data.
Getting started with Sovereign AI
The OpenText and TELUS Canadian Sovereign Cloud will be available starting September 2025 for commercial and government customers across Canada. For more information or to schedule a consultation, visit opentext.com/sovereign-ai-cloud and telus.com/aifactory.
