OpenText Private Cloud Enables Global Organizations to Run Local Sovereign Information Clouds
WATERLOO, ON, July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenText™ (NASDAQ:OTEX), a global leader in information management, today announced significant enhancements to its Private Cloud offerings, designed to meet the growing demand for data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and localized control in an increasingly complex digital economy.
Global organizations need control of their applications, data and processing and need to eliminate dependencies on data residency laws, privacy regulations, and operational requirements that vary by country and region.
OpenText™ Private Cloud enables enterprises to operate globally while maintaining strict control over where and how their data is stored, processed, and protected—ensuring compliance with local laws and building trust with customers and regulators alike.
Global Reach, Local Control
OpenText Private Cloud is purpose-built for organizations that need to be global in scale but local in execution. With data centers strategically located across key regions — including Canada, UK, Germany, France, Australia — OpenText provides customers with the flexibility to choose where their data resides. This ensures that sensitive information remains within national borders, in compliance with data sovereignty requirements such as GDPR and emerging regulations in the EU.
"Data sovereignty and local platform control is now a top technology and business priority for the world's largest organizations," said Mark J. Barrenechea, CEO & CTO of OpenText. "The OpenText Private Cloud give customers the confidence to innovate globally while respecting the legal and cultural expectations of every market they serve, and to deploy locally and have complete control within their country of choice."
Tailored for Regulated Industries
OpenText Private Cloud is designed for highly regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, bio-technology, energy, and the public sector. These sectors face stringent compliance mandates that require not only secure data storage but also auditable controls, encryption, and localized data governance.
With OpenText, customers benefit from:
- Dedicated, single-tenant environments that provide maximum isolation and security.
- Customizable deployment options to meet specific regulatory and operational needs.
- End-to-end encryption and key management with customer-controlled keys.
- Comprehensive compliance support for standards such as ISO 27001, HIPAA, Protected B, IRAP, and more.

Customers can seamlessly integrate their private cloud environments with OpenText's public cloud services or on-premises systems, enabling hybrid and multi-cloud strategies that align with their digital transformation goals.
