As a result, the new scheme, which can be customised, will run in fully air-gapped, on-premises environments.
Meanwhile, it will also include Cisco’s key technologies including routing, switching, wireless, collaboration tools, and selected endpoint devices, alongside security and monitoring solutions from Cisco and Splunk.
Other features include on-site management, custom security and compliance needs as well as customer-managed encryption.
According to the technology giant, organisations including banks, healthcare providers and AI companies will benefit from the new solutions.
Cisco EMEA, president Gordon Thomson, said: ‘Technological breakthroughs offer a unique and exciting opportunity for every organisation across Europe.
‘Our customers want control over their digital infrastructure and data, while enjoying the freedom to choose the right deployment models for their operations, security postures, and strategic goals. Today’s announcement provides that, ensuring customers have the technology and flexibility to build secure, resilient digital systems.’
Welcoming the move, NTT Data head of technology solutions of Europe and LATAM, Albi van Zyl, said: “Cisco’s Sovereign Critical Infrastructure marks a significant advancement in digital sovereignty for Europe.
“As a strategic partner, NTT DATA recognises the importance of this launch and the unique value it brings to our clients, combining secure, air-gapped infrastructure with deep configurability and compliance. This portfolio directly addresses the growing demand for control and autonomy over digital environments.”
