Federal government department
Six flagged Protected B workloads cleared in nine months.
The situation
A federal department of 12,000 employees runs most workloads at Protected B across US and Canadian cloud regions. Updated cloud policy named extraterritorial reach as a placement criterion.
What forced the question
- Six workloads were flagged
- The directive allowed 12 months to fix or migrate
- Full on-premises meant $67M in capital and disruption

Questions a buyer asks
What can a foreign order reach?The US-headquartered cloud holds one fragment of the six needed. It reveals nothing.
Did the department leave the cloud?No. Cloud regions stay in use for a minority of fragments.
What if a site is lost?Any one domain can be offline and at least six fragments remain.
How was it applied?Per Protected B workload, so each flagged workload moved to green independently.
