As enterprises increasingly adopt cloud technologies, data sovereignty and compliance have become critical concerns. Organizations must ensure that sensitive data remains within specific geographic or regulatory boundaries while still enabling modern cloud workloads.
NubeStack helps enterprises address these challenges by provisioning on-prem Ceph storage clusters, allowing public and private workloads to access data securely without ever leaving the organization’s premises.
Understanding Data Sovereignty Challenges
Cloud adoption brings numerous benefits, but also introduces data governance and compliance risks:
- Regulatory compliance: Laws such as GDPR, HIPAA, and industry-specific mandates require strict control over where and how data is stored.
- Cross-border restrictions: Certain countries mandate that sensitive data cannot leave national borders.
- Vendor lock-in concerns: Using public cloud storage exclusively can reduce visibility and control over critical data.
- Security and privacy risks: Transferring data to third-party clouds may expose it to breaches or unauthorized access.
- Hybrid cloud complexity: Balancing workloads across public, private, and on-prem resources while ensuring compliance is challenging.
NubeStack’s Solution: On-Prem Ceph Clusters
NubeStack enables organizations to retain full control over their data by deploying highly available and scalable Ceph storage clusters on-premises. This ensures that data never leaves your premises, while still enabling cloud-native workloads and hybrid deployments.
Key Capabilities:
On-Prem Ceph Deployment
- Enterprise-grade, scalable, and redundant storage
- Supports block, object, and file storage for diverse workloads
- Integrated with existing private cloud or virtualization infrastructure
Secure Access for Hybrid Workloads
- Public or private workloads can access on-prem Ceph storage via secure APIs
- Supports containerized workloads with Kubernetes or OpenStack integration
- Data remains in your environment; no replication to external cloud unless explicitly configured
Compliance and Governance
- Meets regulatory and organizational requirements for data sovereignty
- Enables fine-grained RBAC, encryption at rest, and secure audit trails
- Ensures full visibility and control over data location and access
Flexible Hybrid Cloud Integration
- Workloads can burst to public cloud while using on-prem data safely
- Enables hybrid cloud models without violating data residency requirements
- Supports automated provisioning and orchestration for consistent deployments
Benefits for Enterprises
- Full data control: Your sensitive data never leaves your premises.
- Regulatory compliance: Simplifies GDPR, HIPAA, and other compliance adherence.
- Hybrid cloud flexibility: Public and private workloads can run seamlessly on-prem or in cloud.
- Scalable storage: Ceph clusters grow with your business needs without sacrificing performance.
- Operational efficiency: Automated provisioning reduces administrative overhead.
