Summary: Capgemini and Orange plan to create ‘Bleu’, an independent cloud platform that aims to meet France’s “Cloud de Confiance” label for data sovereignty requirements. The two French companies will be working with Microsoft to offer Microsoft Azure and 365 cloud services delivered through an independent environment. Bleu will be entirely operated by its own staff in France, and all data centres will be strictly separate from Microsoft’s global cloud infrastructure. This should mean that Bleu will receive an ANSSI SecNumCloud label, allowing the company to offer its solutions to Vital Importance Operators (OIVs), Essential Service Operators (OSEs), the French State, public agencies, hospitals, and regional authorities that are prohibited from using foreign cloud offerings under the new French cloud strategy. Bleu will also ultimately join the Gaia-X initiative, of which Orange and Capgemini are already members, to support the formation of a cloud platform in compliance with wider European GDPR and data sovereignty laws.
