OVHcloud and Sii Poland have partnered to support customers in building flexible, secure and regulatory compliant IT environments. The partnership is a response to growing market needs related to diversifying cloud services, ensuring operational resilience and aligning cloud and IT infrastructure with regulations, including NIS2 or DORA.
Increasing requirements for data control, infrastructure auditability and reduced dependence on providers operating outside the European legal order mean that decisions on cloud selection are no longer purely technological in nature and are increasingly becoming an element of risk management, business continuity and regulatory compliance strategies. The cooperation between OVHcloud and Sii Poland aims to support Polish and European companies in building a cloud architecture adapted to the legal and operational realities in force. Within its framework, the partners combine the integration, advisory and operational competences of Sii Polska with OVHcloud’s European infrastructure, designed with predictability, openness and data control in mind.
– Increasing regulatory pressure means that organisations are increasingly looking for cloud solutions that provide them with greater flexibility. By partnering with Sii Poland, we are increasing our capacity to serve customers in ventures that require both compliance with European regulations and a hands-on approach to building a modern multi-cloud architecture,” said Grzegorz Soczewka, VP Sales CEE at OVHcloud.
One of the key areas of cooperation is the support of regulated sectors, for which not only the technical performance of the services is important, but also the applicable legislation, the location of the infrastructure, the transparency of the supply chain and the ability to prepare realistic exit scenarios from a given environment. It is these elements that are increasingly becoming the focus of audits and risk assessments in relation to the NIS2 Directive and other EU regulations.
– I see our partnership as a win-win solution, which takes on particular importance in the context of the current debate about cloud sovereignty in Poland. For Sii, it is the strengthening of its position as an independent expert that offers technological diversification and a broad approach to IT architecture, while for OVHcloud it is access to our resources in the field of IT engineering, the scale of which allows us to implement the most complex projects,” said Jarosław Lakutowicz, Senior Director, IT Operations Competency Center at Sii Poland.
Companies are increasingly opting for a multi-cloud approach, which allows different platforms to be tailored to specific applications. The cooperation between Sii Polska and OVHcloud is part of this trend and means an increase in the possibility of building IT environments with further cloud solutions and greater freedom of choice for customers.
– In practice, we respond to real market needs: transparency and freedom of choice. Thanks to open standards and the absence of data transfer fees, customers can freely manage a multi-cloud environment without the risk of being dependent on a single provider. For the customer, this means greater cost predictability and security of operations,” emphasised Marcin Zawadzki, Senior Business Development Manager, IT Operations Competency Center at Sii Poland.
