Ilkari launches industry-first, hyper-sovereign technology solutions

Operating at a hyper-private scale, Ilkari’s data sovereignty solutions—data centre, colocation services, sovereign cloud and domain registration — enable companies to control their digital infrastructure

Ilkari, the first truly sovereign technology company, today announced the launch of its industry-first, end-to-end data sovereignty solutions that empower businesses to build data sovereignty on their terms and have full control of their digital assets. Built hyper-sovereign from the ground up, Ilkari was founded to future-proof enterprises’ data needs by empowering them with an end-to-end data sovereignty solution that allows them to know and control where their data resides, flows and how it is accessed – even as data volumes increase and the pace of change accelerates. 

Analysts at Statista predict the volume of data created, captured, copied, and consumed annually worldwide will reach 181 zettabytes in 2025, up from 147 zettabytes in 2024. This represents an increase of 34 zettabytes—the highest one-year increase to date. 

Ilkari operates on a hyper-private scale and enables its current customers, who regularly appear in the top 300 most visited US websites, to process more than 120M daily transactions on average (the scale of global payment processors). Ilkari customers deploy more than 150 critical and diverse technologies in Ilkari’s highly flexible, colocation and sovereign cloud platform — from databases to middleware to hardware-based encryption.

“Controlling digital infrastructure is crucial for companies who want to achieve true data sovereignty over their technology,” said Ilkari CEO Shane Paterson. “Data is eating the world, much like software did in the past 15 years. We enable our customers to build data sovereignty on their terms with end-to-end sovereignty solutions that allow them to quickly, easily and efficiently expand their infrastructure as their enterprise grows.” 

Paterson added: “We are thrilled to introduce a comprehensive set of sovereignty solutions to the market through our new data centre in Colombia, including colocation, sovereign cloud, and domain registration services that empower our customers to scale as needed from day one and with less investment than competing solutions.”

Ilkari’s sovereignty solutions include everything companies need to achieve true data sovereignty:  

• Privately owned data centre: Designed to be sovereign from the ground up, Ilkari’s new data centre is located in Bogata’s Free Trade Zone in Tocancipá, Colombia. It has a TIA-942 C Rated-3 certification, the first in Colombia and the region. The facility features Huawei’s FusionModule2000 solution which optimises performance as the workload increases.
• Colocation services: Ilkari’s privately owned data centre offers regulatory and cost advantages amid the exponential growth of data fueled by AI and blockchain transactions.
• Sovereign cloud: Ilkari’s sovereign cloud solution goes beyond hyperscalers and hybrid cloud concepts. Built with open-source technology, it prevents vendor lock-ins found with public cloud offerings and allows companies to maintain sovereignty over their technology.
• Top-Level domain registration: Ilkari’s global Top-Level domain (TLD) registration overcomes obstacles and eliminates the complexities of obtaining a domain, providing security and peace of mind for businesses with WHOIS protection, domain name risk assessment, expired domain search and domain brokerage.

Key features and benefits of Ilkari include: 

• Increased organisational control. The public cloud leads to sovereignty and control issues for companies; Ilkari’s sovereign cloud platform is built on open-source technologies and avoids costly vendor lock-ins.
• Better compliance. Colocation and a sovereign cloud under one roof allow companies to adhere to regulatory compliance and regulations.
• Latest generation data centre: Ilkari’s new privately owned and operated data centre has the TIA-942 C Rated-3 data centre.
• Hyper-private scale. Safeguards and secures data, enabling true data sovereignty even as the pace of change accelerates.
• True sovereignty. Ilkari’s sovereign solutions have no third parties in a customer’s data.
