Bottom line: European infrastructure providers like eww ITandTEL are positioning themselves as alternatives to US hyperscalers, enabling companies to build hybrid-flexible AI infrastructure with local data sovereignty.
Austrian and European enterprises are increasingly seeking local alternatives to major cloud providers and investing in their own AI infrastructure. An interview with Nermin Adzamija, Head of eww ITandTEL, sheds light on data sovereignty and GPU services as core topics.
The need for technological independence and data sovereignty is driving European organizations towards alternative infrastructure models. Many enterprises do not want to be entirely dependent on US-based hyperscalers, but are building parallel capacity in their own or regional AI infrastructure.
Under the term “GPU as a Service,” offerings are emerging that provide compute power for AI workloads without central cloud dependency. For CTOs, this means: The decision between build, buy, or partnership becomes more complex, as European options now exist that can redistribute compliance, latency, and cost control.
eww ITandTEL positions itself—in its own understanding—as a hybrid partner: not merely a service provider, but a supporter in architectural decisions between hyperscaler utilization and in-house development. This reflects a market trend: CTOs must today make portfolio decisions that balance AI requirements with regulatory requirements and cost discipline.
