Libelium, a leading strategic technology consultancy specialized in environmental intelligence, and OVHcloud, a global provider and European cloud leader, have entered into a strategic partnership to deliver sovereign cloud solutions.
By hosting Libelium’s iris360 platform on OVHcloud’s European infrastructure, the collaboration ensures that business-critical data for sustainability and digital twin projects remains strictly under European jurisdiction, providing a robust, transparent alternative for public and private organizations.
In an era of increasing regulatory pressure and geopolitical complexity, organizations require cloud environments that guarantee more than just performance. This partnership is built on the core principle of data control: ensuring all data-journey, from sensor to AI models processed by iris360, are stored and managed according to local European laws. This integration guarantees that sensitive information—ranging from city-wide air quality metrics to industrial efficiency data—is immune to extra-territorial surveillance and never disclosed to third parties.
Thanks to a European technology stack, Libelium reduces dependency on foreign providers, mitigating risks of disruptions or data residency non-compliance. The collaboration focuses on:
Sovereign Infrastructure: Using OVHcloud’s certified cloud solutions, powered by data centers located in Europe with the highest security standards for sensitive information.
Compliance Readiness: Providing a seamless path for customers to meet regulatory requirements.
Operational Security: Maintaining the highest levels of confidentiality and integrity through localized, secure cloud services.
"We are witnessing a definitive shift where customers are no longer willing to accept vendor lock-in; they demand transparency and technological independence,. By partnering with OVHcloud, we are offering a genuine European alternative. We combine our iris360 intelligence with a sovereign infrastructure, ensuring our customers maintain absolute data control while accelerating their transition toward sustainability."
