EU turns from American public clouds to Nextcloud private clouds

European governments, wary of American public clouds, are turning toward Nextcloud private clouds for Infrastructure-as-a-Service clouds.

@Karlitschek That's awesome, Nextcloud has added enough extensions that this is actually a possibility. I wonder if we'll ever see the time when Nextcloud can compete with Open-Stack deployments. i.e. private full feature clouds.

@drown @Karlitschek Not sure this is the idea, imho. Rather focus on where the data lives, than "how" the data lives. Openstack, VMware, kvm has been done to death. However, Nextcloud is proving to be a leader in their field of collaboration tools. But as I said, just my opinion.

@hans_erasmushe @Karlitschek No, you're right. Owncloud/Nextcloud began as a private version of Dropbox/Google-Drive, and has added more features over time, as have they. But in this article the EU companies/govt chose Nextcloud over the big public providers, typically it's private-cloud's like Openstack/etc. that competes with those. Nextcloud doesn't traditionally battle in that space.

@Karlitschek The company I work for is in the process of moving away from SharePoint to Nextcloud ourselves.

@Karlitschek @TON There's a good article in there somewhere but it's too much of an advertisement for Nextcloud.
