...and the issue is that the products are too expensive due to a vast number of factors. I'm just a private hobby developer, so maybe there are markets where this is different. But when I was looking for cold storage backup and virtual hosting providers in the EU none of the offers were even remotely competitive with US offers. They're twice or even more as expensive and less reputable. Especially concerning backup this bothers me a lot. I'm currently with Crashplan for Small Business and it works well. I would love to have all my data on EU servers, but where is the EU backup solution with decent backup software that allows me to store more than 2 TB of data for $3.06 per month? I can't see how this French initiative would change this. If you look up "Gaia-x" it doesn't even come with a web page where you can buy the product or check out its pricing and conditions. It's nebulous vaporware - so typical.
