Anti-kill switch technology stack launched by companies from the Tech Sovereignty Catalogue
-
European solution providers from the Tech Sovereignty Catalogue – Cubbit, SUSE, Elemento, and StorPool Storage – launched a joint Disaster Recovery Pack.
-
The pack integrates components in the cloud software stack. It protects organisations’ critical workloads against critical dependencies, including foreign vendors’ kill switch scenarios.
-
This launch proves that European providers are ready to deliver complete, deployable solutions that enable tech sovereignty: it is a reminder for the EU to match this momentum by promoting demand for European home-grown technologies.
Cubbit, SUSE, Elemento, and StorPool Storage launched a joint sovereign “Disaster Recovery Pack” at the European Data Summit of the Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation in Berlin on 15 April 2026: a system designed to guarantee continuity of organisations’ data and operations even in a foreign vendor kill switch scenario.
The Pack bundles together European components covering storage, compute, orchestration, networking, identity, observability, and management into a single deployable stack designed to reduce fragmentation and accelerate adoption. It offers a fast way to shift critical workloads to a fully European technology stack without major disruption.
The solution can be used to address a concrete operational need by European providers – disaster recovery. Organisations can use the solution to identify critical services, build and validate a sovereign recovery setup, and progressively extend it across additional workloads. At the same time, the Pack becomes not only a resilience measure but also a first step toward a broader sovereign cloud strategy.
Already deployed by an Italian IT service provider and expected to be adopted by additional partners, the “Sovereign Disaster Recovery Pack” provides businesses with a way to reduce reliance on non-European cloud infrastructure.
“This initiative sends a clear message” – stated Sebastiano Toffaletti, Secretary General of the European DIGITAL SME Alliance – “European technology companies are not only capable of building sovereign products, but they can also integrate them into complete and deployable solutions. What is now needed is for EU policymakers to match this momentum with concrete demand-side policies that give European solutions the space to compete, grow, and scale. For instance, policymakers should implement a European preference on digital technologies within public procurement reforms and define sovereign cloud in the upcoming Cloud and AI Development Act.”
