GigaCloud and Cubbit partner to deliver sovereign, resilient S3 cloud storage to Ukraine and Poland
GigaCloud, a leading Ukrainian cloud service provider, and Cubbit, one of the first geo-distributed cloud storage enablers, have announced a new Business Alliance Partnership. As war reshapes infrastructure risks, the agreement is designed to equip Ukrainian and Polish organisations with fully sovereign, resilient and cost-effective cloud storage services.
Founded in 2016, GigaCloud has built a position of deep trust across the Ukrainian technology market. Recognised for two consecutive years as Ukraine’ s best IaaS provider and the first NVIDIA Solutions Advisor in Ukraine, the company serves over 1,500 companies and 20 million users and is the largest partner of the Ukrainian public sector in Digital Transformation – providing end-to-end services spanning consulting, readyto-use industry-specific solutions and additional tools for cybersecurity. Today, GigaCloud manages private, public, hybrid and multi-cloud environments, supported by its own data centres as well as by an extensive network of partneroperated sites.
Organisations in Ukraine and Poland face an increasingly demanding risk landscape, where ransomware and cyberattacks remain a persistent threat. Also, armed conflicts make data centre facilities extremely susceptible to physical disruptions – throughout recent years, missile strikes and attacks on critical infrastructure have demonstrated that no single site can be considered safe. If a facility goes offline, organisations lose access to critical systems and productivity halts. At the same time, companies must comply with an everstricter legislative framework – from GDPR to regional laws – while keeping sensitive and strategic data under their direct control, operated within defined geographic boundaries.
