In the battle to dominate Europe’s cloud computing market, American tech giants are spending big to build up their
local credibility.

<p>
Amazon Web Services, the largest player, announced last week that it would soon open multiple data centers in France
and Britain. Google, which already has sites in countries like Finland and Belgium, is expected to finish a new

customers.”

citizens use everyday digital services, it is not surprising that the likes of Microsoft and Amazon are eager to
play up their local roots.

As the European Union continues to clamp down on the perceived misuse of people’s digital information, analysts also
say that many Silicon Valley giants are responding to these privacy concerns by increasingly offering individuals
and companies the ability to keep information close to home, whereas in the past, data might have been stored solely
in the United States.

“Countries like Germany are well aware of data privacy, and it has made them more wary of where data is kept,” said
Gregor Petri, a cloud computing analyst at the technology research firm Gartner in Veghel, the Netherlands. “Local data
sovereignty has become important, and American companies are...
