Is your Canadian data
really Canadian?
Amazon, Microsoft, and Google control roughly 85% of Canada's cloud, and the US CLOUD Act can reach that data even when it sits in a Canadian region. ZSoftly is the Canadian-owned, Canadian-controlled sovereignty layer for your cloud, your AI, and your backups.

What you actually get
Sovereignty is the strategy. These are the outcomes.
Lower, predictable costs
CAD billing with no FX swings, $0 egress, and published pricing. No surprise bills from the cloud you cannot leave.
A stronger compliance posture
Data residency, isolation, and audit logging your compliance team and auditors can actually stand behind.
Less concentration risk
Diversify off a single US hyperscaler so one vendor, one outage, or one policy change cannot stall your business.
Resilience when the rules change
Control that survives shifting geopolitics and regulation, because you own the jurisdiction, not just the contract.
Three US companies now run Canada's cloud.
The concern is no longer only where data is stored. It is who ultimately controls it, and which government can compel access when geopolitics or regulations change.
85%
of Canada's public cloud market is controlled by Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, well above their global average.
CLOUD Act
lets US authorities compel US-owned providers to hand over data, even when it physically sits in Canada.
3 vendors
concentrate the data, AI workloads, and digital infrastructure of most Canadian organizations.
Know the difference
Data residency is not data sovereignty.
Data residency
Where your data physically sits. A Canadian region tells you the postal code of the disk, and nothing about who can reach it.
Data sovereignty
Who ultimately controls your data, and which laws apply. This is the question that decides your resilience, and the one a Canadian-owned operator can actually answer.
What "Canadian-controlled" actually means here.
Canadian hosting
Live in Canadian regions (YUL, YOW), with private cloud and bare metal across the country.
Canadian ownership
Independent and Canadian-owned. A single operator on the contract, not a hyperscaler reseller.
Canadian support
The engineers who build and run the platform are the ones on the call when you need them.
Canadian data governance
Residency, isolation, and jurisdiction enforced in the architecture, not just in contract language.
The sovereignty scorecard
Score your current setup.
Most organizations discover they are far more dependent on a single US hyperscaler than they realized.
Where ZCP fits
A sovereign layer for the workloads that matter most.
You do not have to abandon Azure or AWS. Move the critical data, AI, and backups onto infrastructure you control.
Sovereign AI hosting
Canadian-hosted AI models and private inference with Canadian data residency. Run AI inside your own controlled environment instead of sending your data through US AI providers.
A Canadian alternative to the hyperscalers
A full cloud platform on an open foundation, billed in CAD with $0 egress, no lock-in, and Canadian governance end to end. The capabilities you expect, under control you can actually claim.
Hybrid sovereign cloud
Keep Microsoft 365 and Azure AD where they make sense. Move sensitive data stores, AI workloads, and backups onto the ZCP sovereign layer. Jurisdiction-aware, not all-or-nothing.
Canadian sovereign backup
Immutable, air-gapped backups with an independent control plane and Canadian storage, so recovery never depends on the same US cloud as production.
Government procurement readiness
SOC 2 and ISO 27001 on our roadmap, privacy-impact-assessment templates, data-residency guarantees, and Canadian infrastructure documentation, ready for sovereignty requirements as they arrive.
Cross-border and US sovereignty
Serving the United States too: HITRUST i1 certified US facilities in Pennsylvania and Virginia for workloads that must stay under US jurisdiction, with the same single-operator control.
Built for organizations that answer to the public.
When you are accountable for citizens', patients', or clients' data, "stored in Canada" is not the same as "controlled in Canada." These are the teams already asking the sovereignty question.

“We were days away from losing our ability to process credit cards. The security transformation saved our business and positioned us for enterprise growth. We went from failing audits to passing with zero critical findings. The $8M in enterprise deals we can now pursue will change our trajectory.”

“ZSoftly showed us CloudStack was the answer: no VMware licensing trap, no AWS lock-in. We can run RKE2, EKS Anywhere, or K3s depending on customer needs. VMs for PostgreSQL. Ceph S3 for data lakes. $55K hardware replaced $23K/month AWS bills. Broadcom would have cost us 10x more. CloudStack gave us infrastructure freedom we could not get anywhere else.”

“Our AWS infrastructure was out of control. Costs spiraling, security issues mounting, and our SOC 2 audit failing. The team fixed our immediate problems and changed how we think about cloud infrastructure. We're now compliant, our costs are half what they were, and response times dropped from 8 seconds to 1.2 seconds. This engagement paid for itself in the first month.”
