Sitecore, Dataweavers Expand SitecoreAI to New Regulated Markets

NEW YORK, Oct. 14, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Sitecore and Dataweavers have expanded their sovereign cloud hosting model for SitecoreAI to new regulated markets, including China, the Middle East, and Canada. This move allows global enterprises to deliver SitecoreAI-powered experiences without rebuilding their platform investment, while meeting local data residency requirements.

Dataweavers, the enterprise platform operations company behind the Arc model, and Sitecore, a global leader in digital experience platforms, today announced this expansion. The new model, Arc by Dataweavers, helps SitecoreAI customers extend their platform into new regulated markets by running SitecoreAI inside their own Azure tenant on region-specific infrastructure. This approach includes self-service Next.js hosting, built-in governance, and enterprise-grade security, all under a single service level agreement.

Enterprise organizations are increasingly navigating complex data residency and compliance requirements, and Dataweavers has built a hosting model to assist customers in extending SitecoreAI-powered experiences into new regulated markets. This model addresses local data residency requirements, allowing global enterprises to deliver usable experiences in these regions.

The new markets, including China, the Middle East, and Canada, have strict data residency requirements, and Arc by Dataweavers is designed to support in-country hosting of the front-end compute, data, and delivery layer, subject to applicable local requirements. However, availability of specific SitecoreAI capabilities, including AI-powered features that rely on third-party services, may vary by market.

Dataweavers, a Microsoft-first, Azure-native platform company, provides enterprise organizations with the freedom to fix less and build more by handling platform operations that enterprise teams shouldn't have to manage themselves. Backed by 24x7 global support, Arc by Dataweavers helps SitecoreAI customers address local data residency requirements, enabling them to deliver usable experiences in new regulated markets.

This announcement builds on Dataweavers' existing strategic alliance with Sitecore, following Arc's commercial availability directly through Sitecore and Dataweavers' recent expansion into the EMEA market. Organizations evaluating SitecoreAI deployment in a regulated market can engage Sitecore or Dataweavers directly.
