A European Cloud Alternative

Inside IONOS

Francesco Bonfiglio, Founder of Dynamo and former CEO of Gaia-X, on digital sovereignty

European cloud providers need to join forces to compete with US hyperscalers, says former Gaia-X CEO Francesco Bonfiglio in this latest episode of Inside IONOS. Speaking to Andreas Maurer, Francesco argues that European cloud providers have lost significant market share in recent years and proposes a new federated model to counter this. To address this issue, Francesco Bonfiglio has founded a new company called Dynamo, which he describes as a "virtual cloud service provider".

Dynamo aims to provide a platform that enables collaboration by connecting European cloud providers. Listen now to learn more about the challenges and opportunities of the European cloud industry!
