As businesses expand globally, how to enjoy the elasticity of multi-cloud environments while simultaneously meeting increasingly stringent regulations on “data localization” and “digital sovereignty” in various countries has become a major headache for IT managers. Hybrid multi-cloud computing provider Nutanix recently announced a significant feature update to its Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP), designed to help enterprises build highly resilient and controllable “sovereign clouds” in complex, distributed environments.
