Cornerstone and StonesThro have announced a strategic partnership designed to redefine and enhance the UK's digital landscape.

The collaboration focuses on deploying micro-edge compute capabilities across Cornerstone's national estate to address the urgent need for increased data processing speed and capacity, data sovereignty, and national infrastructure resilience. As the global geopolitical climate becomes increasingly unpredictable and regulatory frameworks around data privacy tighten, the question of where data is processed and who governs and protects the underlying hardware has moved from a technical concern to a matter of national security. This partnership arrives at a critical moment, providing a UK-centric solution to the growing dependency on centralised, often foreign-owned, cloud architectures.
