PARIS -- Thales announced a strategic partnership with Google Cloud to establish a new sovereign cloud solution in Germany.
Building on S3NS, Thales' cloud subsidiary in France, and operator of its first European sovereign cloud region, this agreement aims to meet German demand for shielding sensitive data from extraterritorial laws.
Thales will launch a new German entity, legally and operationally independent from Google Cloud, that will be staffed and managed by local German personnel, ensuring that no third party, including non-European entities, can access the data stored or processed within it.
