POTSDAM, Germany and NOIDA, India, March 18, 2026 – HCLTech has been selected as an official launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (ESC), a new cloud infrastructure established in the State of Brandenburg, Germany.The AWS European Sovereign Cloud provides a managed infrastructure located entirely within the EU, designed to meet the data residency and operational autonomy needs of European public sector and enterprise clients. Operating separately from existing AWS Regions, the ESC offers localized control over data residency.
