Sumo Logic partners with AWS Sovereign Cloud and Swiss Data Center to expand across Europe

Last week, Sumo Logic announced that it is officially extending its platform to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud and a new AWS Swiss Data Center. The move makes Sumo Logic one of the first major SaaS security providers to offer a unified, "agentic AI" monitoring layer that lives entirely within European jurisdictional boundaries.
By aligning with AWS’s independently operated sovereign infrastructure, Sumo Logic is positioning itself as the go-to solution for finance, healthcare, and government entities that require total data residency to comply with GDPR, NIS2, and Switzerland’s FADP.
Breaking the data hostage cycle
For years, highly regulated European firms have been caught in a dilemma: move to the global cloud for better security tools but risk violating data sovereignty laws, or stay on-premises and fall behind in AI innovation.
The AWS European Sovereign Cloud (first launched in Brandenburg, Germany) is physically and logically separate from the standard AWS regions. It is operated exclusively by EU-resident employees, ensuring that metadata and customer content never leave the EU.
Sumo Logic is deploying its Intelligent Security Operations Platform directly into this sovereign environment. This allows customers to use high-end SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and log analytics without "calling home" to US-based servers.
The simultaneous expansion into the AWS Swiss Data Center specifically targets Switzerland’s unique banking and privacy laws, offering ultra-low latency and localized processing for the country’s massive financial sector.
The rise of Agentic AI in security
A central part of the deal is the deployment of Sumo Logic’s Agentic AI, a more advanced form of artificial intelligence that doesn't just "chat" but can autonomously perform tasks like incident triage.
New research released alongside the deal shows that while 96% of security leaders use AI, only 9% currently use it for triage.
By hosting this agentic AI within a sovereign cloud, Sumo Logic allows firms to automate their threat response while ensuring the "brains" of the operation remain under local legal control.
Cost efficiency
IDC predicts that 60% of multinational firms will eventually split their AI stacks across different sovereign zones. Sumo Logic’s goal is to provide a single management layer that can "see" across these split stacks without moving the data.
Market momentum: A $400 billion opportunity
The deal reflects a massive shift in how global tech is being sold in 2026. Analyst firm IDC predicts that spending on sovereign cloud services will reach $400 billion by 2029, driven largely by geopolitical tensions and a desire for "digital autonomy."
"Geopolitical events are no longer just news; they are architectural constraints," noted Eric Avery, Sumo Logic's Global Head of Infrastructure. "We are providing the performance of the public cloud with the legal safeguards of a private vault."
