Italian sovereignty

SOV-IT is the strictest form of digital sovereignty we offer. Hardware, storage, backup replicas, operational logs and the management team all remain entirely within Italian territory. Replicas and remote access outside national borders are excluded from the standard regime; any operational exceptions (e.g. extraordinary maintenance by a vendor) are admitted only with strict contractual clauses, tracked and audited, and explicitly disclosed to the client.

The infrastructure can be on-premise at the client's site (for those who already have a compliant datacenter or server room) or hosted in qualified Italian datacenters. It must be noted that AgID/ACN certification of the datacenter alone does not automatically guarantee the highest level of sovereignty: the actual level depends on the provider's specific qualification (e.g. ACN QC1-QC4), the service class and the signed contract.

For AI workloads, inference runs by default on open-source models executed locally (Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp) that do not call external endpoints. On request we can design hybrid setups (e.g. local models for sensitive data + cloud models for generic tasks) with explicit guardrails that prevent data under the SOV-IT regime from leaving the national perimeter.

This choice comes at a cost: less global scaling elasticity, higher latency for users outside Italy, no direct access to managed features of non-EU hyperscalers. In exchange you gain legal and operational guarantees that no global cloud can replicate.
