Magellan Partners: The Cloud, a powerful technology for businesses

Last updated:

Magellan Partners forges a historic partnership with OVH Cloud. Faced with the many problems related to the use of the cloud in the professional environment… The optimization of this technology is more than necessary. While with the pandemic, companies are increasingly resorting to telecommuting,the cloud is becoming a working reflex. It allows data to be stored, and collaborative work is encouraged with an effective solution. But the Cloud also questions the security of so-called “sensitive” data of companies. Two concepts come into play: sovereign cloud, and trusted cloud.

Magellan Partners, OVH Cloud, the rigorous partnership

The announcement of the sealed partnership between Magellan Partners and OVH Cloud is now aimed at relieving businesses. Since 2019, the global market for cloud technologies has been booming. At the end of 2019, the market reached $214.3 billion, an increase of 17.5% over the previous year.

This growth is expected to continue until 2022, in the face of changing business behaviour. The cloud market would then reach, $331.2 billion is projected. That’s an increase of 54.5%.

Indeed, digital transformation is undergoing a significant acceleration, where the cloud plays the role of a powerful lever for growth. In addition, with the COVID-19 pandemic, this use of the cloud as a storage and collaborative work solution is accelerating. Telework thus promotes the digital transition of companies, which are changing the way they work.

That’s why the Magellan Partners/OVH Cloud partnership comes at this time. Its primary objective is to address issues related to trusted cloud and sovereign cloud. Two notions that arrive in France and Europe, and that question. With this in mind, Magellan Partners is co-building with OVHcloud a benchmark offer for a trusted cloud. The latter includes strategic consulting, service delivery and technical implementation.

Companies use the cloud because they seek to secure their strategic data.

In its most comprehensive sense, trusted cloud is defined as the set of resources in a hybrid cloud. These resources, managed by a secure platform, ensure compliance with internal, local and industrial regulations. Protecting sensitive and confidential data, especially for certain industries, is essential. A mission more than essential for Magellan Partners and OVH Cloud!

Magellan Partners, the benchmark offer for sectors with confidential data

For Magellan Partners, an Organisation and Information System Advisory Group, data and its protection are essential. Since 2008, Magellan Partners has been the catalyst for its clients’ digital transformation. It offers them an accompaniment to evolve in terms of technological base, analyzing the evolution of their profession.

For the majority of sectors affected by this support, important data is being passed on, which is described as sensitive and confidential. Magellan Partners then acts as a trusted partner, taking care of the deployment of the infrastructure most suited to each company. At the same time, OVH Cloud supports companies in their transition to the cloud for their strategy. A proven complementarity, ensuring monitoring and above all security for the storage of strategic data.

For example, sectors such as healthcare, or the banking sector, store sensitive, personal information about their customers. The cloud allows you to keep all the data in a dedicated server, to centralize everything. It also helps to secure all the information that is there. OVH Cloud recently obtained the ANSSI Security Visa for secNumCloud qualification of its hosted private cloud offering.

Strategic and confidential data that can also be found in the defence sector. This data must be protected with all the necessary security, guaranteed by OVH Cloud and Magellan Partners. This new partnership is reassuring at a time when digital technology is experiencing unprecedented scale and growth.

There is no doubt that with the increasing digital transformation of businesses, the use of the cloud will only follow this trend. Especially since at a time when the RGPD (General Data Protection Regulation) is mandatory… The location and conditions of data storage are highly important to businesses.

Data protection, cloud servers dedicated to secure storage

For companies, the most important thing is to know where their data is stored, as well as the degree of security. A secure server prevents vulnerabilities and hacks… This blockes the theft of strategic, confidential and personal data. Depending on where the cloud service is located, the regulations will be different. Thus, French utilities and large companies are more appreciating the so-called “sovereign cloud”. Its hosting and processing of data data made by the Cloud service are within the national territory. Thus, this would be managed by a French entity, then obeying French regulations (laws and standards).

Trusted Cloud, on the other hand, emphasizes privacy and increased data protection. The goal is to give customers secure access to their data, leaving them in control. But depending on the country in which they are stored, some national or federal agencies may request to view this data. A request that the supplier cannot avoid. He then has no choice but to warn his clients, to keep a relationship as transparent as possible.
