Here is the translated text in American English:
If data is the new oil, the cloud is its geopolitics. In this particular map, five American giants dominate the territory: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and IBM Cloud. These hyperscalers possess global deployment capacity, impressive economies of scale, and financial muscle that few can challenge. In Europe, their influence is growing as governments and companies rely on their infrastructure to ensure reliability and advanced artificial intelligence capabilities. In fact, many governments and companies are thinking short-term, betting on American companies before looking towards Europe.
From Spain, Stackscale (Aire Group) positions itself as a European alternative in the cloud sector, offering a model that prioritizes data sovereignty, sustainability, and customer freedom. Its approach aims to ensure technological independence and control over information, respecting European regulations and avoiding exposure to extraterritorial regulations like the U.S. Cloud Act.
European Sovereignty and Predictable Costs
For Stackscale, the debate about digital sovereignty is key. Companies opting for hyperscalers must accept that their data may be subject to regulations outside of Europe. In contrast, Stackscale offers solutions that ensure compliance with European legislation and allow organizations to maintain control over their information without risks of external interference.
Stackscale is part of Aire Group, which enables it to have a strong, proprietary infrastructure in multiple strategic locations. In addition to operating data centers in Spain and the Netherlands, Aire Group strengthens its capacity with facilities in Lisbon, Madrid, the Canary Islands, Toledo, and Málaga, offering a network of proximity data centers that enhances redundancy and availability of its services. This structure allows Stackscale to develop a business model based on performance, flexibility, and transparent pricing. Unlike AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and IBM Cloud, Stackscale offers a predictable cost structure, avoiding the billing surprises common with the pay-as-you-go models of hyperscalers.
Flexible Infrastructure and Commitment to European Technologies
Stackscale is committed to interoperability and open source, ensuring that its clients can migrate their workloads without technological lock-in or dependency on a single provider. In response to recent market changes, the company has strengthened its virtualization offerings by collaborating with solutions like Proxmox. An open-source European solution, it has become a robust and efficient alternative to VMware, providing independence and lower operating costs for companies looking to avoid technological monopolies.
The company also offers hybrid infrastructure solutions with dedicated servers and bare metal equipped with AMD EPYC or Intel Xeon processors, providing a high-performance platform for enterprises with demanding needs.
From PaaS to Artificial Intelligence
Far from limiting itself to providing infrastructure services, Stackscale is expanding its cloud solution catalog. Its strategy includes developing a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering with tools designed to facilitate the adoption of advanced technologies by its clients, as well as the ability to deploy artificial intelligence solutions focused on big data, inference, and model training.
For those companies not seeking a private cloud solution, Stackscale offers versatile infrastructure with bare metalA bare-metal server is a physical server with a single, allowing for the installation of any type of customized solution with maximum efficiency. Moreover, its focus on artificial intelligence is reinforced with a strong hardware offering, including state-of-the-art NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, optimized for high-performance tasks and demanding workloads.
Quantum Computing: The New Horizon
Stackscale is closely following the development of quantum computing, an emerging technology with the potential to transform multiple industries. The company collaborates with key players in the European quantum ecosystem and has initiated projects to assess its impact on optimizing artificial intelligence models and data security. While it is not yet available for widespread commercial exploitation, Stackscale is prepared to explore its applications as the technology matures and integrates into productive environments.
An Expanding Market
The global revenues of public cloud services surpassed $800 billion (€720 billion) in 2024, a 20.5% increase from the previous year, according to IDC data. By 2025, the industry is expected to continue on the rise, with an annual growth rate of 19.5%, reaching $1.6 trillion (€1.4 trillion) in 2028.
In this context, Stackscale aims to establish itself as a European benchmark in sovereign cloud, offering a viable alternative to hyperscalers and guaranteeing its clients total control over their data and technological infrastructure, focusing on open technologies free from external dependencies. Choosing a European cloud is not only strategic, but essential for preserving digital independence and avoiding subjugation to foreign legislation.
