Case Study: BriteSky achieves Canadian data sovereignty and cloud freedom with NetApp

BriteSky Gives Enterprises Assurance of Data Sovereignty in the Cloud

BriteSky, an Ottawa-based cloud service provider, helps Canadian enterprises move to the cloud while meeting strict data sovereignty requirements. The company faced the dual challenge of keeping customer data physically in Canada to comply with law while offering flexible, choice-driven cloud services and supporting massive, long‑term data retention and replication needs.

BriteSky solved this by deploying NetApp Private Storage for Cloud in an Equinix data center with Equinix Cloud Exchange and NetApp StorageGRID Webscale for scalable object storage and geo-tagging. The solution lets customers use AWS, Azure, or BriteSky while keeping data in Canada, simplifies large daily data ingest and replication across sites, and delivers the security, flexibility, and compliance that accelerated BriteSky’s growth and customer adoption.
