Digital Sovereignty and AI in Canada: Part 2 of the 2025 Survey Data

Nigel Wallis — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey, using data from IDC's 2025 Worldwide Digital Sovereignty Survey, explores the relationship between digital sovereignty, sovereign cloud, and AI workloads in Canada compared with the rest of the world.

Respondents answered questions about AI and sovereign cloud among others:

Current and future state of adoption
Drivers of adoption
Role of transparency and accountability
Differences between AI workloads, AI models, and AI data

"As adoption of AI has rapidly become ubiquitous, organizations are having to deal with new and more complex questions of digital sovereignty, driven by geopolitical events, regulatory compliance, and new vendor investment and offerings. As a result, IDC is providing not only a taxonomy for digital sovereignty but also data on the commonalities and differences between Canadian perceptions of sovereignty and their global counterparts." — Nigel Wallis, research VP, IDC Canada

Digital Sovereignty in Canada: Part 1 of the 2025 Survey Data

Nigel Wallis — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey, using data from IDC's 2025 Worldwide Digital Sovereignty Survey, explores digital sovereignty and sovereign cloud in Canada compared with the rest of the world.

Respondents answered questions about sovereign cloud:

Current and future state of adoption
Drivers and inhibitors to adoption
Perceived benefits
Challenges to implementation
Leading sovereign cloud vendors today and next year
Selection attributes for choosing sovereign cloud providers

The document also examines the Canadian responses to digital sovereignty issues, including:

Diversifying technological ecosystems
Data sovereignty
Technical sovereignty
Operational sovereignty

"Interest in digital sovereignty and specifically sovereign cloud has risen greatly in the past year, driven by geopolitical events, regulatory compliance, and new vendor investment and offerings. As nearly every organization has now embraced a cloud architecture, the question and debate about which workloads to utilize sovereign clouds is a live issue for Canadian CIOs and their line-of-business counterparts. The federal government's November 11 position paper Digital Sovereignty: A Framework to improve digital readiness of the Government of Canada will only stoke the curiosity of Canadian organizations. As a result, IDC is providing not only a taxonomy for digital sovereignty but also data on the commonalities and differences between Canadian perceptions of sovereignty and their global counterparts."

Latest Enterprise Adoption Trends for IaaS Network Services, 2025

Taranvir Singh — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey presentation highlights the latest enterprise infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) network services adoption trends, sourced from the IaaS Network Services Special Report.

This IDC Survey is conducted at a time when many organizations are facing complex networking challenges, mainly due to evolving enterprise IT architectures involving a rising number of modern digital, agentic, and GenAI workflows across on-premises networks (from datacenters to campus core to network edge), SaaS provider networks, and multicloud environments. In addition, modern applications consist of more distributed components than ever. Enterprises are primarily concerned about these watchpoints — network resiliency, service consistency, and staff productivity.

An in-depth web survey of 1,000 key enterprise networking decision-makers was conducted across North America and Western Europe, representing a range of 8 major vertical industries and company sizes from 500 to 10,000+ employees. These decision-makers expect to respond to these challenges by increasing IaaS network services adoption to support their globally distributed digital infrastructure end to end — from network to compute to data to applications.

Full version of IDC IaaS Network Services Special Report provides detailed quantitative and qualitative views into customers' networking requirements, service priorities, budgets, adoption timelines, expected returns, and provider differentiation.
