European technological sovereignty isn’t a slogan — it’s a necessity. Virtuozzo’s sponsorship sends a strong message: it’s possible to build world-class infrastructure on European soil without sacrificing openness, performance, or independence. We’re honored to have Virtuozzo with us on this journey.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Virtuozzo for joining our growing community of sponsors and for standing with us in building a resilient, transparent, and inclusive future for data infrastructure in Europe and beyond.
Virtuozzo is a pioneer in virtualization and cloud infrastructure software, with deep European roots and global reach. Their support of the MariaDB Foundation is not just a sponsorship — it’s a statement of strategic alignment between two organizations shaping the backbone of an independent European technology ecosystem.

This partnership brings together two essential layers of infrastructure — Virtuozzo powering the cloud and MariaDB powering the data. It underscores a growing movement: a European response to the pressing need for control over the technologies that store, move, and process our information.

The MariaDB Foundation is proud to welcome Virtuozzo as a Silver Sponsor, reinforcing a shared commitment to building an open, sovereign, and innovation-driven digital future for Europe.
Virtuozzo joins a growing network of sponsors that recognize the importance of open, collaborative development in safeguarding both innovation and independence. Together, we are helping shape a digital future rooted in transparency, trust, and freedom.
MariaDB and Virtuozzo are both champions of digital freedom. Our partnership with the MariaDB Foundation reflects a broader mission: to empower European companies and institutions with alternative sovereign technologies that are accessible, high-performing, secure, and free from monopolistic control. Open source is a vital foundation for autonomy, innovation, and customer choice — which is why it plays a key role in the Virtuozzo portfolio and consistently earns our support.
