ECONOCOM LAUNCHES ECONOCLOUD: A TRUST-BASED CLOUD SERVICE

➢

A highly secure sovereign cloud service hosted inFrance ➢ A next-generation cloud-management platform portal offering hybrid and multi-cloud solutions.

Puteaux, 3 July 2018 - Econocom has launched a new cloud solution produced by its entity, ASPSERVEUR, in France:Econocloud.The service externalises IT production into a highly secure zone. With Econocloud, French firms concerned about security, confidentiality and compliance can protect their intellectual and industrial assets from intrusions.

Against the backdrop of data protection in Europe, with GDPR, where the slightest piece of information about a firm can spark interest from external companies, or the CLOUD Act in America, it is vital to ensure a state's economic protection. This protection can come through a service offered to companies wishing to use an ultra-sovereign cloud solution hosted in France by an entity governed by French law and regulations.

With this solution, the only one of its kind in France, companies can externalise their IT production with complete trust and with full compliance with French and European laws. Econocloud, withits sovereignty and exceptional level of compliance, makes IT outsourcing easier for companies with sensitive or confidential data, such as those having to set up procedures for GDPR, ISO 27001 or protection of France's scientific and technical potential.
