A sovereign cloud on hardware you control

Sovereignty here is architecture, not a compliance badge: your hardware, your network, your data, with the whole platform able to run inside your perimeter, down to fully air-gapped sites. Built and supported in the EU.

Residency is not sovereignty

Most of what is sold as sovereign cloud is a hyperscaler region with local paperwork: the data sits in your country while the control plane, the update pipeline and the operational control sit somewhere else. The questions that matter are structural. Who operates the control plane? Where does the platform phone home? What still works when the uplink is cut? edgeContinuum answers all three with architecture: the entire platform can run inside your perimeter, operated by your team, on OpenStack and open-source foundations you can audit, with no dependency on a foreign control plane.

Deployment models

From SaaS to fully air-gapped

Sovereignty is a spectrum and you pick the point: start with the SaaS control plane against your infrastructure, or run it fully on-premises, where everything, control plane included, lives inside your perimeter. Same console, same API, same managed services at every point.

Same platform everywhereStart SaaS, move insideClassified-environment ready

SaaS

Fastest start

We host and operate the control plane; you connect infrastructure. Workloads and data stay on your hardware.

On-premises

Sovereign by design

Run the control plane on your own servers: the whole platform, sovereign, on your side, internet-facing or not. Nothing depends on us.

Air-gapped

No uplink

Fully disconnected sites: the platform installs, runs and updates without internet access.

Link independence

Sovereign also means when the link drops

Autonomy is part of control. Regions in edgeContinuum are autonomous: if a site loses its connection to the core, workloads keep running and local management keeps working, then everything resyncs when connectivity returns. A remote plant, a ship or a classified site does not stop being a cloud because a cable does.

Still a cloud

Sovereign, and still self-service

Sovereignty usually costs you the cloud experience; here it doesn’t. Inside the perimeter your teams still get managed Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, VMs and an app marketplace, self-service inside organizations, projects and quotas, with usage tracked per tenant. Open foundations underneath (OpenStack, Kubernetes) mean no proprietary layer between you and your infrastructure.

Kubernetes

Conformant clusters, in-place upgrades, autoscaling.

PostgreSQL

HA databases with lifecycle handled by the platform.

Virtual machines

Catalogs, networks and firewall rules, like public cloud.

Marketplace

Your apps as one-click products for every team.

Frequently asked questions

In SaaS mode, what leaves our perimeter?
Your workloads and data stay on your hardware in every model; in SaaS only the control plane runs hosted by us. If that is still too much, the on-premises model moves the whole platform inside your perimeter.
What works in a fully air-gapped site?
The platform itself: console, API, managed Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, VMs and the marketplace all run without an uplink. Regions are autonomous and resync whenever connectivity exists.
Who is behind edgeContinuum?
edgeContinuum is built and supported in the EU. The platform stands on open-source foundations (OpenStack, Kubernetes) rather than a proprietary virtualization stack, so there is no foreign-controlled layer underneath.
Does sovereignty cost us the managed experience?
No. The same managed services and self-service tenancy run in every deployment model; automation is driven by desired state inside the platform, not by a remote operations team.
How does this help with regulation?
Data residency, operational control and disconnection tolerance become properties of the architecture, which is the part auditors ask hardest about. You choose the deployment model that matches your regulatory reality.
