IBM opens public cloud data centre in France

Monday 15 October 2012 | 11:22 CET | News
IBM has opened its first data centre for public cloud computing in France outside Montpellier. The SmartCloud Enterprise + data centre is one of seven such facilities worldwide, with two others in the US and one in Canada, Germany, Japan and Singapore. The SCE+ offers the same services and prices worldwide, shared or dedicated IaaS environments supporting PaaS and SaaS, and the IBM SmartCloud for SAP solution. IBM has been investing in data centres in France since 2009 to help businesses develop their private clouds, with existing customers including French business software developer Cegid and hosting service provider Aspaway. IBM France CEO Alain Benichou said the new cloud centre would help French public and private organisations grow nationally, but its strength also lies in supporting their international growth through its data global cente network.
