Hidora, a sovereign cloud provider based in Switzerland, has introduced Hikube, a new cloud platform designed to strengthen service continuity and digital sovereignty.

Hikube is the first Swiss cloud service to provide automatic data replication across three data centres in Geneva, Gland and Lucerne.

This multi-zone architecture is intended to maintain operations even in the event of a major data centre failure.

The platform is aimed at organisations with strict requirements for data protection, compliance, business continuity and technological independence, including those in finance, healthcare and industry.

Matthieu Robin, CEO of Hidora, said:

“We’re democratising enterprise-grade high availability for Swiss companies while guaranteeing their data never leaves the territory. This is a crucial economic and technological sovereignty issue for our country, especially in today’s geopolitical and regulatory climate.”

Hikube incorporates NVIDIA GPU capability for workloads such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and advanced rendering, alongside managed Kubernetes.

Users can provision and manage servers and databases within existing DevOps processes and CI/CD pipelines, with options for encryption at rest across block volumes, object storage and other services.

According to Hidora, demand for sovereign cloud services in Europe is rising, with the market expanding at about 35 per cent annually, largely driven by enterprise security and compliance needs.

Hikube’s data centres operate fully on renewable energy and hold sustainability certifications from EcoEnterprise and Responsability Europe.

The platform also complies with ISO 27001 and PCI DSS standards, supporting organisations that need enterprise-grade security and regulatory assurance.
