Keeping data at rest in-country is relatively straightforward, but data in motion is harder to control, because dynamic routing and network overlays typically can't guarantee where traffic travels. This Omdia report explains why the network should be your enforcement point for data sovereignty and how Equinix® helps you define where traffic can and can't be routed across eight geographic zones.

What you’ll find inside:

  • Define where network traffic can and can't be routed with Equinix Fabric® Geo Zones, enforced in the connectivity layer itself rather than as an overlay.
  • Help keep data in motion inside defined geographic boundaries, even when the network reroutes around an outage or during failover.
  • Set geographic routing boundaries across eight zones: Australia, Brazil, Canada, the European Union, Japan, Switzerland, the UK and the US.
  • Support sovereign AI and compliance requirements with verifiable controls, while keeping the flexibility and resilience of Equinix Fabric for hybrid multicloud.
Sovereign networks must be able to guarantee, on a deterministic basis, that the paths used for data in motion cannot travel outside of defined boundaries.
