The economics of a sovereign cloud

Feb 4, 2026 By Emma Stewart-Oram In Civo
The BCG recently released a report on the cost of cloud. The findings? Hyperscalers are charging up to 30% more for their sovereign-cloud offerings. It supports an earlier notion that if you want control, compliance, and jurisdictional certainty, you have to pay a premium. At Civo, we think that is broken. As data volumes grow and AI workloads become central to business strategy, the economics of cloud computing are being re-examined.

The 4 pillars of AI in 2026: Agents, cost, observability & sovereignty

Jan 26, 2026 By Civo In Civo
AI is no longer just about "one-shot" prompts. In this session from our "From Idea to Agent" webinar, Ben Norris (AI Engineer at Civo) breaks down the four key priorities dominating the enterprise space in 2026. From the 130x explosion in token usage to the "vibe-coding" revolution, learn why businesses are turning away from US hyperscalers in favor of democratized, secure, and UK-sovereign AI infrastructure. We explore how autonomous agents are solving multi-step problems and why "Chain of Thought" reasoning is unlocking AI for heavily regulated industries like finance and healthcare.

Cloud sovereignty vs. Cloud innovation: Why India doesn't have to choose

Jan 23, 2026 By Emma Stewart-Oram In Civo
As we witness the rise of AI, the need for sovereignty is no longer optional. For organizations deploying larger models with access to sensitive data, it is a requirement. Research has shown concerns around sovereignty ‘hindering innovation’ and having ‘knock-on consequences for innovation’. We don’t see it that way. Sovereignty isn’t a trade-off for innovation; in fact, for India to scale securely, the two must work in tandem.

An introduction to GPU time-slicing

Jan 22, 2026 By Jubril Oyetunji In Civo
GPUs are no longer a niche component. Gamers know them for immersive graphics, workstation users rely on them for balanced performance, and in the age of AI, GPUs have become one of the most in-demand resources in modern infrastructure. They are also expensive. That reality creates two immediate constraints, for individuals and enterprises alike: GPU-backed instances should be provisioned deliberately, and once provisioned, they should be used efficiently.

How is the next wave of AI impacting the Indian cloud scene?

Jan 20, 2026 By Emma Stewart-Oram In Civo
Gartner has predicted that 2026 will see a 10.6% increase in India’s total IT spend from 2025 (2025: USD 159 billion vs 2026: USD 176.3 billion), with data centres, cloud infrastructure, and AI-enabled technologies driving this growth. This isn’t just a budget increase; it’s a fundamental shift in where innovation happens, who owns the infrastructure, and how we translate AI potential into scalable impact.

Why data sovereignty has become a strategic imperative for India

Jan 19, 2026 By Emma Stewart-Oram In Civo
Data is the backbone of the modern economy, but if you don’t have control of the infrastructure, you don’t control the data. Historically, data sovereignty was a compliance checkbox, something for the legal team to handle. Today, it’s a strategic national priority. At Civo Navigate, we sat down with industry experts to unpack why India is now placing sovereignty at the centre of its digital strategies.
