OpenText and S3NS Partnership: Revolutionizing European Sovereign Cloud Solutions
In a major announcement, OpenText Corporation, a global leader in enterprise AI and data management, has entered into a strategic partnership with S3NS, an alliance formed by the French cybersecurity giant Thales and Google Cloud. This collaboration aims to deliver state-of-the-art sovereign cloud solutions tailored specifically for the European market.
With the integration of advanced Google Cloud technologies, this new platform ensures that businesses and organizations in Europe can rely on robust cloud services that meet the highest standards of security and compliance, specifically within France. This is crucial for organizations operating in regulated industries, as it provides a solution that guarantees stringent data residency, regulatory compliance, and operational governance.
The sovereign cloud solution enables European enterprises to manage their most sensitive data within a locally controlled environment. They can leverage hyper-scaler cloud services for less confidential workloads, innovation, and scalability without compromising security. This hybrid approach allows businesses to continue benefiting from global cloud platforms while adhering to the local regulatory requirements, including compliance with GDPR and SecNumCloud standards.
Additionally, the partnership is set to provide several innovative solutions as part of the initial offering of the hybrid sovereign cloud platform:
1.
Dedicated Private Cloud: Designed for high-security data, OpenText’s Content Management and Documentum Content Management will be available to manage confidential information effectively.
2.
Sovereign SaaS: This solution offers OpenText's Core Archive for SAP® solutions, catering to European data residency needs in a multi-tenant service format.
3.
Regulatory Compliance: Support for GDPR and SecNum 3.2, along with other European data sovereignty requirements.
OpenText's Executive Vice President and Chief Digital Officer, Shannon Bell, emphasized the importance of data governance and compliance for regulated organizations. According to Bell, “Digital trust is built on a foundation of data governance and regulatory compliance. Across Europe, organizations seek innovation opportunities that maintain their sovereignty and control. OpenText combines hyper-scaler-powered innovation with an independent governance-operating model to meet these needs. Customers can manage their data, access, and operations securely at a regional level, confidently modernizing their systems.”
