Magellan Partners initiates a partnership with OVHcloud to support companies in the trusted cloud
- Press Releases
The global cloud technology market reached $214.3 billion at the end of 2019, up 17.5 percent from 2018, and it is estimated that it will reach $331.2 billion (+54.5 percent) by 2022[1]. Particularly given that the Cloud acts as a powerful lever for the digital transformation of companies and public organizations, cities and French local authorities by allowing more agility, innovation, resilience and cost optimization. With this in mind, Magellan Partners has partnered up with OVHcloud to address the issues of Trusted Cloud and Sovereign Cloud, considered to be one of the major technological and governmental challenges that lies ahead in France and Europe. This agreement between the two entities allows French companies and institutions in the public, health, industrial, energy, banking and defense sectors to benefit from 360° support in the hosting of their sensitive and critical applications and data in France.
The trusted cloud, a growing challenge in a rapidly expanding French and European market
The Trusted Cloud, which denotes an independent cloud that is safe from interference by foreign powers, aims to provide end-to-end protection for the confidential and sensitive applications and data of companies, cities and the state. A major issue of the decade, it is now at the core of the strategic reflections of various national and European industrial and state players who wish to shelter a portion of their data.
Magellan Partners, a group specializing in Organizational Consulting and Information Systems deeply rooted in Technologies and Data, has co-constructed with OVHcloud a reference offer for a trusted Cloud including: strategic consulting, service provision and technical implementation.
This partnership is based on the desire to roll out a model where infrastructure creation, hosting and data processing are carried out in France. As such, the protection and security of strategic data and sensitive information forms the crux of collaboration between these two entities.
We are delighted to partner up with a leading consulting firm such as Magellan Partners to support organizations in their digital transformation projects. We share a common vision: the need to provide the market with infrastructure solutions that are as close as possible to their needs, with no concessions made regarding the protection of hosted data

Its recent accreditation in the ANSSI security visa for the SecNumCloud qualification of its Hosted Private Cloud offer is a further step in supporting companies and the public sector in their hosting of strategic data. In January 2021, Magellan Partners Group entered into a partnership with OVHcloud becoming its reference partner to advise companies in defining their cloud and data strategies. The deeply complementary nature of these two companies means they can acquire significant market potential within France through the combination of their identities, their offers and their know-how. The aim of this alliance is to support French players in their digital transformation and improve their operational performance by implementing Cloud solutions.
We are pleased to partner up with OVHcloud, a leading French Cloud solutions player.
