Synergies for a European cloud

the leading European cloud provider, and the global technology group Unisys have entered into a strategic partnership. Through the partnership, OVHcloud's public cloud offering will become part of Unisys' service portfolio to provide a European, data-sovereign cloud infrastructure to public sector customers in particular. The partnership is focusing on projects and services for public sector clients at EU-level. Unisys will enter the OVHcloud Partner Program which supports joint successes in the IT channel.

The long-term partnership will initially focus on joint projects for public sector clients at EU level. Unisys has extensive expertise in modernising the infrastructures of public institutions by creating future-proof, cloud-based platforms and digitising IT applications.

Especially public sector organisations apply the highest data protection and data security requirements. Their work often involves the processing of personal and other sensitive data. For public organisations in the EU, only a cloud infrastructure can be considered that is 100 percent hosted in data centers of European cloud providers and that offers absolute compliance with GDPR. It should have all relevant cloud certifications in the European core markets such as C5 in Germany or SecNumCloud in France – all criteria that OVHcloud, as a leading European cloud provider, fully meets.

Thus, Unisys and OVHcloud complement each other ideally to jointly develop solution offerings for public sector customers in the European Union and to accompany them on their way into the cloud. The company is now joining the OVHcloud Partner Program, which aims to promote long-term partnerships in the channel. Unisys can offer its knowledge and expertise receiving financial incentives in providing OVHcloud based solutions to their clients. Approximately 1,350 partners are already members of the OVHcloud Partner Program.
