ThinkOn and SkyeConnex team up to bring Data Sovereignty as a Service to regulated enterprises, starting in Canada. Strategic partnership pairs ThinkOn's sovereign cloud infrastructure with SkyeConnex's encrypted, multi-cloud data custody platform, giving organizations a faster path to data sovereignty without migrating off the clouds they already use TORONTO and OTTAWA, September 29th, 2026 - Think On, Inc. (ThinkOn), a Canadian-owned sovereign cloud provider, and SkyeConnex, the company that defined the Data Sovereignty as a Service (DSaaS) category, today announced a strategic partnership that combines ThinkOn's sovereign cloud infrastructure with SkyeConnex's encrypted, multi-cloud data platform. The joint offering gives enterprises a faster route to data sovereignty without the cost and disruption of migrating off the hyperscaler environments they already run on. Organizations in government, defence, healthcare, finance, legal and other regulated industries face growing pressure to control where their data lives, who can access it, and under which jurisdiction it sits. For most, the only path has been a slow, expensive migration off the hyperscaler platforms they depend on, one that can take years and, even once complete, often still leaves gaps in functionality compared to where they started. Together, ThinkOn and SkyeConnex offer another path. SkyeConnex's platform encrypts data at the source and distributes it in fragments across a network of independent storage locations so that no single provider or government ever holds a complete, readable copy, and none can be compelled to produce one. Policy controls let organizations choose exactly which countries or regions their data can reside in based on the compliance regimes they answer to. Customers keep the clouds and applications they already have - a "bring your own cloud" model. As part of the strategic partnership, ThinkOn's sovereign Canadian cloud becomes the strategic anchor partner in Canada inside the SkyeConnex platform, built on infrastructure designed specifically for data that requires enhanced protection. The result pairs two layers of protection: Canadian-owned infrastructure under Canadian law, and sovereignty enforced in the architecture of the data itself. The joint offering, expected to be commercially available in Q4 2026 will be sold through ThinkOn's channel-only ecosystem of more than 200 channel partners starting with Canada first and then expanding to the US and Australia. The combined offering also carries forward SkyeConnex's post-quantum encryption, built on the NIST-standardized ML-KEM-1024 (FIPS 203) and ML-DSA-87 (FIPS 204) algorithms, and its API-first design, meaning sovereignty controls can run invisibly behind the applications teams already use. The offering is designed to let organizations achieve enforceable data sovereignty in a matter of weeks rather than the years a full migration typically demands. "Every enterprise wants control over where its data lives, but almost none of them can afford to rebuild their infrastructure to get it. This partnership lets us give ThinkOn customers and partners sovereignty that extends to the data they still hold in the hyperscalers, without asking them to rip anything out," said Craig McLellan, CEO of ThinkOn. "Sovereignty shouldn't take years to achieve, and it shouldn't rest on a promise. Pairing our platform with ThinkOn's sovereign cloud gives customers sovereignty by architecture, with jurisdictional control from day one, on Canadian infrastructure built for exactly this purpose," said Ross Norrie, CEO & Founder of SkyeConnex. About ThinkOn ThinkOn is a global, channel-first cloud service provider headquartered in Toronto that has spent over a decade helping organizations process, protect, and preserve their data. The only Canadian-owned cloud provider authorized under Shared Services Canada's cloud framework agreements to handle data requiring enhanced protection measures, ThinkOn is backed by 200+ global partners and operates across Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Australia, and the Caribbean.

PureSpirIT expands into Canadian sovereign cloud, completing its end-to-end Canadian infrastructure portfolio. KANATA, ON - August 11, 2026 - PureSpirIT Solutions Inc. (PureSpirIT) announces today a new strategic channel partnership with Canada-based cloud service provider Think On, Inc. (ThinkOn). This partnership represents a significant milestone in PureSpirIT's continued investment in delivering trusted Canadian technology solutions that advance Canada's digital future while supporting Indigenous economic participation. As political and digital landscapes continue to evolve, cloud sovereignty has become an imperative concern for both public and private sector organizations. Currently, according to a report by the Canadian Anti-Monopoly Project (CAMP), 85% of Canada's cloud services rely on foreign-owned cloud infrastructure - subjecting Canadian data to extraterritorial jurisdiction and legislation. With substantial backing from the Federal Government, Canadian organizations are quickly turning away from major hyperscale cloud solutions providers and instead seeking locally based, sovereign infrastructure partners. In response to this critical shift in demand, PureSpirIT is expanding their portfolio of Canadian technology solutions to include expert development of personalized cloud service configurations backed by ThinkOn's secure network of sovereign cloud infrastructure. This addition to PureSpirIT's solution portfolio enables organizations to host sensitive public sector workloads, critical intellectual property, and community data exclusively within Canadian-owned and Canadian-operated infrastructure, under Canadian jurisdiction and governed by Canadian law - eliminating reliance on cloud platforms subject to foreign extraterritorial legislation, including the U.S. CLOUD Act, while strengthening Canada's digital sovereignty. As ThinkOn's only Indigenous-owned solutions provider partner, PureSpirIT drives access to secure Canadian sovereign cloud solutions while enabling entities to fulfil Indigenous procurement objectives, Indigenous Participation Plans (IPPs), Buy Canadian initiatives, and Canadian data sovereignty mandates. "At PureSpirIT, we believe innovation should strengthen Canada, integrity should guide every solution we deliver, and empowerment should ensure the success we create through technology also creates lasting opportunities for people and communities," said Brian Doxtator, CEO of PureSpirIT Solutions. "We are so pleased to link arms with Canadian industry leader, ThinkOn. This partnership represents another important step in building trusted Canadian technology while expanding our ability to support Indigenous education, training, employment, and economic opportunity as part of our ongoing commitment to reconciliation." "This partnership reflects the kind of collaboration Canada's digital future depends on. PureSpirIT brings deep federal expertise and a CCIB-certified commitment to Indigenous economic participation and pairing that with our sovereign cloud infrastructure means public sector and commercial clients alike can meet their data sovereignty requirements with total confidence," said Craig McLellan, Founder and CEO of ThinkOn. "We're proud to support PureSpirIT as they expand what's possible for their clients under Canadian jurisdiction." With over 12 years of expertise driving the federal government's technological modernization efforts and backed by ThinkOn's trusted sovereign cloud network and existing framework agreements, PureSpirIT will support the federal government, regulated industries, and commercial organizations seeking a dependable cloud network, Canadian data residency, regulatory confidence, and trusted sovereign infrastructure.

ThinkOn and AVSS give Canadian public safety and defence a sovereign alternative to hyperscaler-hosted TAK. AVSS, Canada, Drone Technology, Dual Use August 2026 New integration lets agencies deploy or migrate Team Awareness Kit entirely within Canada - no foreign hyperscaler required Ottawa, Ontario - August 9th, 2026 - Think On, Inc. (ThinkOn), a Canadian-owned sovereign cloud provider, and AVSS - Aerial Vehicle Safety Solutions Inc. (AVSS), today announced a partnership that removes the last reason Canadian police services and defence organizations have had to run Team Awareness Kit (TAK) on a foreign hyperscale cloud: their integration puts TAK, and the drone data feeding it, entirely on sovereign Canadian infrastructure. The integration streams telemetry and video from MAVLink-compatible drones directly into TAK's common operating picture and out to TAK-enabled devices, including ATAK, exactly as agencies already expect. The difference is where it runs: the TAK server sits on ThinkOn's Canadian cloud platform rather than a foreign hyperscaler, so nothing about the experience changes for field teams - only where the data lives. Most TAK deployments today run on hyperscale platforms because that is the default environment those providers make available. TAK gets offered up as a reference example of what can be built on their infrastructure, and the agency is left to design, build and maintain everything around it. That leaves sensitive location, video and operational data sitting on infrastructure outside Canadian jurisdiction. ThinkOn and AVSS built this integration specifically to close that gap: the same TAK capability, the same interoperability, but hosted entirely within Canada, under Canadian ownership and control. For agencies already running TAK on a hyperscaler, that means a direct path to a sovereign environment without retraining field teams or changing day-to-day workflow. For agencies that haven't deployed TAK yet, it means starting sovereign from day one instead of defaulting to a foreign cloud simply because that's what's been readily available - with the added benefit of faster, better-coordinated response for the communities they serve. "Agencies have never had to choose between best-in-class technology and knowing exactly where their data lives - they just haven't had a sovereign option for TAK until now," said Craig McLellan, CEO of ThinkOn. "Together with AVSS, we're giving Canadian police and defence organizations a proven TAK capability running entirely on Canadian sovereign infrastructure, built by two Canadian companies who understand what public safety agencies actually need." "Drones only make a difference in an emergency if the right people can see what the drone sees, the moment it matters," said Josh Ogden, CEO of AVSS. "This partnership with ThinkOn closes that gap on a platform Canadian agencies can trust completely." About ThinkOn ThinkOn is a global, channel-first cloud service provider headquartered in Toronto that has spent over a decade helping organizations process, protect, and preserve their data. Sovereign-certified and government-cleared now for 8+ years, with more Canadian data under management than any other sovereign provider, ThinkOn is backed by 200+ global partners, and operates across Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Australia, and the Caribbean.
