    Local Cloud vs Hyperscaler

    Why a local cloud provider is the better choice

    AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud are powerful global platforms, but for Estonian businesses they bring jurisdictional risks, complex pricing models, and lacking local support. Pilvio shows why a local cloud provider is often the better choice for data sovereignty, cost efficiency, and service quality.

    Data Sovereignty

    A local cloud provider ensures your data is subject only to EU law. The US CLOUD Act does not apply.

    Cost Efficiency

    Without hidden data transfer fees and complex pricing. A local cloud provider is often 30-40% cheaper.

    Personal Service

    A local team that knows you by name and understands your business. With a hyperscaler, you're a ticket number.

    No Vendor Lock-In

    Pilvio uses open standards (OpenStack, S3 API) and charges no exit fees. Hyperscalers charge significant egress fees that make leaving expensive.

    Is local cloud scalable enough?

    For most Estonian businesses, local cloud is more than sufficient. Pilvio scales up to 32 vCPU and 128GB RAM per VM, covering the vast majority of business needs.

    What does CLOUD Act risk mean?

    The US CLOUD Act gives US authorities the right to demand access to data held by US companies — even in EU data centers. A local cloud provider eliminates this risk.

    Is it easy to migrate from hyperscalers?

    Yes, especially when using standard technologies. Pilvio's S3-compatible StorageVault and OpenStack-based platform make migration straightforward.

    Is local cloud suitable for international companies?

    Yes, especially for companies that need data residency in the EU. Pilvio serves international clients whose European workloads require local jurisdiction.

    How does a local cloud provider ensure the same reliability as a hyperscaler?

    Pilvio uses N+1 redundant infrastructure and offers a 99.9% uptime SLA. For most business-critical applications, this is equally reliable as a hyperscaler.
