Capgemini and OVHcloud have announced a global partnership to address the cloud transformation needs of public and private organizations. The two companies aim to help organizations build their cloud infrastructure with the highest international security standards and will combine the power and innovation of OVHcloud’s latest generation cloud solutions with Capgemini’s strong experience in data protection, security, artificial intelligence and data analysis, application solutions, managed services and native development in the cloud.
Through this global partnership, Capgemini’s and OVHcloud’s respective commitments to secure cloud transformation are combined. Together, the two players intend to build sovereign end-to-end cloud solutions, notably within the framework of the European Alliance on Industrial Data and Cloud and the Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) for building the cloud infrastructure and services to be launched in 2021.
“OVHcloud is proud to partner with Capgemini to provide public and private organizations with common and reliable cloud solutions that guarantee data protection and privacy in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulations,” said Michel Paulin, CEO of OVHcloud.
“The synergy between our two companies will enable us to meet the security, interoperability and transparency requirements of any type of organization in an efficient and appropriate manner, facilitating their transition to the cloud. »
The two companies will cooperate to leverage their capabilities globally, providing organizations with access to a unique set of services and expertise for secure, end-to-end public, private and hybrid cloud infrastructure services. The solution also aims to promote open source software and leverage GAIA-X standards to enable interoperability, portability, trust and transparency of infrastructure, applications and data. In order to take advantage of data, this global partnership will in particular enable the development of European data spaces bringing together public and private actors.
In line with their respective commitments to reduce their carbon footprint, OVHcloud and Capgemini announce that they will work together to deliver sustainable cloud services. In particular, they will ensure that their joint solutions are carbon neutral by optimizing the use of resources according to customer needs, promoting a more energy-efficient supply chain, managing infrastructure and hardware lifecycles, and promoting a more local energy mix.
“We are delighted to extend our partnership with OVHcloud to enable organizations around the world to securely drive their digital transformation in the cloud,” said Aiman Ezzat, Chief Executive Officer of Capgemini Group.
“By combining Capgemini’s expertise in cyber security and data sovereignty with OVHcloud’s vision for the future of cloud infrastructure, we can give customers the speed and agility they need to achieve their cloud transformation goals. »
This alliance builds on Capgemini and OVHcloud’s longstanding collaboration with several global software vendors to deliver sovereign, integrated end-to-end solutions, based on the OVHcloud Open Trusted Cloud label, SecNumCloud qualification and Health Data Hosting (HDS) certification.
In order to expand their collaboration globally, OVHcloud and Capgemini will combine their capabilities and investments. In order to help joint customers accelerate their cloud transformation, Capgemini will also bring its strong experience in the global cloud market as well as the intellectual property developed internally by the Group.
