Thursday, January 11, 2024

The 2023 ISG Provider Lens™ Multi Public Cloud Services report for France finds enterprises in France continue to experiment with hybrid clouds that enable them to accommodate data sovereignty, healthcare regulations, GDPR, data localization and cutting-edge AI solutions, the ISG report says.

Key Points: 
  • The 2023 ISG Provider Lens™ Multi Public Cloud Services report for France finds enterprises in France continue to experiment with hybrid clouds that enable them to accommodate data sovereignty, healthcare regulations, GDPR, data localization and cutting-edge AI solutions, the ISG report says.
  • “Top service providers can guide clients on how to use cloud-native technologies wisely.”
    Two regulations unique to France regarding security and data sovereignty, SecNumCloud and Health Data Hosting (HDS), provide a special challenge to service providers, the ISG report says.
  • While international hyperscalers can easily meet France’s stricter health data hosting requirements, obtaining SecNumCloud certification is difficult if not impossible for foreign cloud providers, the ISG report says.
  • Indeed, because the certificate has no value outside France, the investment required to certify SecNumCloud discourages most European cloud providers from participating, ISG says.
