'Wary of the US government and tech companies, the European Union (EU) has seen
a surge in support for open source and Linux. In the last few months, local EU
governments, including the city of Lyon in France, the German state of
Schleswig-Holstein, and Denmark, have begun their move to Linux and open-source
software from Microsoft Windows and Office. Now, Luxembourg-based European
open-source powerhouse SUSE is offering extensive support to businesses and
governments that want to keep their IT infrastructure inside the European
Union.
The Digital Sovereignty movement is a big deal in Europe for a reason. Today,
over 90% of European data resides on servers operated by non-EU and primarily
American companies. This dependency exposes EU entities to data privacy,
economic leverage, and potential risks of foreign surveillance.
As a result, according to tech researcher IDC, 84% of European organizations
using cloud technologies are either currently using or planning to use
sovereign cloud solutions. Rahiel Nasir, IDC's research director for European
Cloud Strategies, described 2025 as a "watershed year," with growing
geopolitical and economic uncertainties putting digital sovereignty at the
forefront for organizations.
That's why SUSE, a global leader in enterprise open-source solutions, has
announced the launch of its Sovereign Premium Support package. This
comprehensive support service is designed to meet the growing demand for
digital sovereignty.'
