You use hyperscalers. You have sovereignty requirements. emma removes the trade-off — not by restricting what you can use, but by governing how you use it.
AI foundation models and managed inference. Real-time analytics. Global edge delivery. Developer tooling that compresses time to production. Managed security at a scale no internal team can replicate.
Data subjects, regulators, boards, and clients expect sovereign control — over how data is processed, where decisions are made, and whether you can sustain operations independently of any single provider.
emma connects your entire cloud estate — hyperscalers, EU-sovereign providers, and private infrastructure — and operates across all of it from a single platform. Provider selection becomes intentional. Governance becomes consistent. Sovereignty holds regardless of which provider hosts a given workload.
Use AWS for AI inference where it leads on capability. Use OVHcloud or IONOS where EU placement and operational independence matter. Use Azure for the managed services your teams depend on. emma makes each placement decision deliberate — capability, residency, cost, and sovereignty requirements evaluated together, not one at a time.
The same policies, access controls, and compliance rules apply across every environment in your estate. Not translated per provider, not approximated, not maintained in separate tools. One governance model that extends without modification to hyperscalers, EU-sovereign providers, and private cloud simultaneously.
Project limits restrict workloads, data processing, and storage to specific geographic regions. Pre-provisioning guardrails block deployments into non-compliant regions before the first instance boots — not as a monitoring alert after the fact. Region labels mapped to exact country boundaries for audit-ready proof.
Data movement between providers stays on emma's private backbone — not the public internet. Cross-cloud traffic doesn't route through jurisdictions you don't control. Egress costs become predictable. Sovereignty extends to data in transit, not just data at rest.
A unified audit trail across all providers generates compliance evidence continuously — not assembled retrospectively before an audit. Every provisioning decision, every data flow, every boundary enforcement logged across all environments. One audit package, not three provider consoles.
FinOps across the entire governed estate — cost attribution per sovereign project boundary, not per provider. Optimization recommendations that account for workload placement, spot pricing across EU providers, and egress savings through the private backbone. The full cost picture in one view.
"Without an independent layer across your infrastructure, every provider decision carries a sovereignty implication. Teams default to whichever service solves the immediate problem. The result is not a deliberate trade-off — it is a gradual drift away from sovereign operations that accumulates faster than most organizations track it."
emma is EU-headquartered, structurally independent of the providers it connects, and operates across 15+ cloud providers including the major hyperscalers and leading EU-sovereign alternatives. It does not compete with any provider, does not sit in your data path, and does not create a new dependency.
Pillar Two covers the four components — data sovereignty, operational control, regulatory compliance, and resilience — and how to achieve all of them.
