Yes this was Rackspace.

We were proposing moving our S3 stuff over to their OpenStack stuff for inevitable security reasons (we hold sensitive contract and financial data). We were told that they could make no guarantees directly so we'd be better off going with a "locally registered company".

If you call a non US subsidiary and ask them directly about their data handling policy with respect to the US, then you'll get the same answer. With FISA, they are required not to tell you as well.



Why would you assume a local company is any more secure?


A company based in Europe wouldn't be subject to US laws, which provides more certainty for their clients.
