Key players: cloud control and the colo advantage
A recent Uptime Intelligence report shows how the US Cloud Act allows US law enforcement to access data held in most hyperscaler cloud environments, even when that data resides in other countries (see In cloud and colo, whose laws rule the data). With tensions still high between the US and Europe over NATO commitments and trade tariffs, some European organizations are concerned about potential extrajudicial access to their data (see Europe will not abandon the hyperscalers).
In contrast, colocation providers are not subject to the Cloud Act in the same way, as they do not manage or control data. Instead, they provide customers with space and power to support their own infrastructure, leaving the customer to manage the data.
