Capgemini and OVHcloud now have a global alliance partnership to support cloud transformation in public and private organizations. The plan is to build complete sovereign cloud solutions in the context of the European Alliance on Industrial Data and Cloud and the Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) on Cloud Infrastructure and Services due to be launched in 2021.
The solution is also intended to promote open source software and leverage GAIA-X standards on cloud federation, to allow interoperability, portability, trust, and transparency across infrastructure, applications and data. The global alliance partnership will allow to enable the development of European data spaces that bring together public and private players to generate value from data.
In line with their respective commitments to reduce their environmental footprint, OVHcloud and Capgemini will work together to enable a sustainable use of cloud services. This will include ensuring their common solutions strive towards carbon neutrality by optimizing usage of resources, promoting a more energy efficient supply chain, managing infrastructure and hardware lifecycles and with a more local mix of energy sources.
“OVHcloud is proud to partner with Capgemini to provide public and private organizations with common and trusted cloud solutions that ensure data protection and privacy in compliance with GDPR,” says Michel Paulin, CEO of OVHcloud. “The synergy between our two companies will allow us to respond to the security, interoperability and transparency requirements of all types of organizations in an efficient and adapted way, facilitating their journey to the cloud.”
“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with OVHcloud to empower organizations globally with secure cloud digital transformation,” comments Aiman Ezzat, CEO of the Capgemini Group. “By combining Capgemini’s expertise in cybersecurity and data sovereignty, with OVHcloud’s vision for the future of cloud infrastructure, we can empower customers with the business speed and agility they need to achieve their cloud transformation goals.
