In this article, Eduard Keijzer, Partner Manager at Fundaments, discusses the benefits of the Fundaments sovereign Cloud, the role of VMware, and our future plans with VMware.
“We see a clear trend where companies and institutions increasingly want to take control of their own data. They want to comply with Dutch privacy laws and regulations. We are happy to meet this need. With the Fundaments sovereign Cloud, companies and institutions know exactly where their data is stored, that it is secure, and that they remain in control. This ensures that their data cannot be accessed by unauthorized parties.”
“VMware recognized this need for a sovereign Cloud and established a global standard with the VMware Sovereign Cloud status. When a company holds this status, you can be 100% certain that you are working with a partner that stores data in accordance with (in our case) Dutch privacy laws and regulations. Fundaments adopted this early on and was the first Cloud provider in the Netherlands to receive the VMware Sovereign Cloud status.
The Fundaments Cloud is fully secured within a Dutch Cloud, where all processes and technology are managed by Fundaments: everything is in control from A to Z. From people to processes and technology. This starts with how we set up a data center, to how we ensure organizational continuity through our choices in hardware, software, and configuration. Furthermore, we ensure that our daily management is elevated to the highest level by our skilled colleagues. How the Cloud is consumed must be clear throughout the entire chain, and we are extremely critical of this. Continuity is the keyword here: business-critical applications must always be able to run without interruptions. For instance, our data centers are geographically separated, and we only use Dutch data centers. Additionally, our organization and our data centers meet the necessary certifications regarding information security and continuity.”

"Because we hold the VMware Sovereign Cloud status, our partners also offer a sovereign Cloud to their customers. We want to guide our partners in this by providing them with the right information and resources. In addition, we recently rolled out a Kubernetes platform using VMware Tanzu. This service is called Container Platform as a Service and is intended for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) who want to develop and launch new functionalities in a secure, fast, and scalable way."
