Canada is actively developing infrastructure for hosting, VPS, data centers and cloud solutions in an effort to improve the speed, security and sovereignty of digital services. It's not just a matter of technology - it's the foundation for competitiveness in a world where data and computing power solve everything.
Canada's IT infrastructure: reliability, scale and innovation
Canada is actively building the power of data centers, creating an infrastructure that is ready for the technologies of the future. In October 2024, eStruxture announced an investment of approximately 540 million USD to build a new AI-centric data center in Calgary with 90 MW of capacity and a density of up to 125 kW per rack - scheduled to launch by 2026.
Hosting and cloud infrastructure: hybrid is key to efficiency
The Government of Canada, through Shared Services Canada (SSC), is implementing the Application Hosting Strategy (2024) and developing a hybrid approach - combining data centers and the cloud to ensure reliability, security and sustainability. In 2025-26, SSC launches GC Hosting Services portal and GC Cloud One platform to simplify access to hosting services. The pursuit of digital sovereignty - accessing only Canadian infrastructure resources rather than relying on foreign ones - is becoming key.
Financial transparency and cloud optimization
SSC's use of cloud services is also becoming more transparent and efficient. From 2019-20 to 2022-23, total cloud consumption has grown from ~$1.4M to nearly CAD 157M, of which a significant portion went through the "brokerage fees" mechanism. Azure leads in spending by nearly 4x more than AWS and Salesforce.
Bottom line
Canada is aggressively investing and modernizing its VPS, hosting, data center and cloud infrastructure with a focus on security, performance and digital sovereignty. Today, it's not just a technology - it's a strategic resource that keeps businesses and government agencies competitive in the era of the digital economy.
Frequently asked questions
Canada has strict legislation to protect personal data, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Hosting and VPS hosted in Canadian data centers ensures that data is stored and processed within local legal guidelines, which is important for companies focused on security and privacy. In addition, data located in Canada is protected from the jurisdictions of other countries, which reduces the risks of foreign intelligence services accessing the information.
Canada is a strategic IT hub between the U.S. and Europe with a stable infrastructure and low latency networks. International companies choose Canadian data centers because of their high level of security, reliable power supply and favorable climate for server cooling. This reduces energy costs and increases server stability.
