Kadaster runs Azure Local to keep sovereign control over the Netherlands' land registry data

Overview

Kadaster, the Netherlands' official land registry and mapping agency, runs Microsoft Azure Local to maintain full control over where its data lives and how it is governed, as its workloads have grown in scale and complexity. Azure Local underpins Microsoft's Sovereign Private Cloud, which now scales to thousands of servers within a single sovereign environment.

The challenge

As a government agency responsible for some of the Netherlands' most sensitive data, Kadaster needs infrastructure that gives it full control over where its data lives and how it is governed, especially as its workloads have grown in scale and complexity.

The solution

Kadaster runs Microsoft Azure Local, the foundation for Microsoft's Sovereign Private Cloud, which lets organizations run cloud-consistent infrastructure on hardware they own and operate within their sovereign boundary, across connected, intermittently connected or fully disconnected environments. Azure Local disconnected operations let customers apply policy enforcement, role-based access control, auditing and compliance configuration locally, regardless of public cloud connectivity.

Reported business value

Azure Local has given Kadaster full control over where its data lives and how it's governed, providing a consistent foundation that has scaled alongside Kadaster's growing workloads, per General Manager Maarten van der Tol.
