Overview
VMWare Sovereign clouds are the unanimous choice amongst businesses looking to run their sensitive and regulated workloads on a secure, compliant national cloud that meets national data residency and data sovereignty requirements. While virtual environments running VMware can readily leverage vSphere VM Encryption or vSAN encryption to protect VMs and data-at-rest—enterprise key management that's both secure and adaptable to a dynamic software-defined infrastructure remains a challenge. Traditional hardware bound HSMs are not flexible enough for software-defined data centres, and software-only key managers fail to match the security level of HSMs.
