Sovereign cloud computing means complete control of your digital infrastructure—regardless of geopolitical tensions or vendor lock-ins. You know exactly where your data is stored, are subject to local law only, and make IT decisions based on your business needs, not on external constraints. ## Open alternatives to VMware The changes in VMware license prices brought massive cost increases. [According to a report by European cloud providers (CISPE)](https://www.cispe.cloud/website_cispe/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Appendix-to-Broadcom-Report-002.pdf) to the EU Commission, VMware license prices for its members increased by 800% to 1,500%. This disruption creates a strategic opportunity: cloud solutions based on open standards like OpenStack offer the same functionality without proprietary dependencies. Plannable costs, proven enterprise technology, and the freedom to switch providers at any time. ![](https://i0.wp.com/safeswisscloud.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/shutterstock_653839552.jpg?resize=1200%2C548&ssl=1) ## Our cloud solutions --- Servers, data storage, networks and associated IT infrastructure: Ready to use with Safe Swiss Cloud with just a few clicks.
