Microsoft and Core42, a G42 company specializing in sovereign cloud, AI infrastructure, and digital services, recently released a comprehensive whitepaper titled ‘Balancing Innovation and Compliance in the AI Era: Core42 Sovereign Public Cloud Leveraging Microsoft Azure’.
This whitepaper delves into the transformative role of sovereign public cloud solutions in shaping the UAE’s digital future, providing strategic insights and best practices for technology leaders to effectively adopt and deploy these solutions.
Sovereign public clouds are crucial for several reasons: data sovereignty compliance ensures that data is stored, processed, and managed within a specific country or region, adhering to local laws and regulations, which is particularly crucial for sensitive information such as personally identifiable information (PII), intellectual property, and financial data.
Central insight
A central insight from the whitepaper is that modern sovereign-enabled public clouds eliminate the long-standing trade-off between innovation and regulation. The paper features real-world use cases from the UAE, including AI-powered fraud detection in financial services, predictive diagnostics in healthcare, citizen data protection in government, and real-time analytics in energy.
“The Core42 Sovereign Public Cloud, powered by Microsoft Azure, exemplifies our dedication to providing secure, compliant, and innovative cloud solutions that meet the unique needs of regulated industries in the UAE,” commented Sherif Tawfik, Chief Partnership Officer–AI & Cloud for Sovereignty, Microsoft.
“Our collaboration with Microsoft ensures that we provide a cloud environment that fosters innovation while upholding the highest standards of data sovereignty and regulatory compliance,” noted Adrian Hobbs, Chief Technology Officer, Core42.
