Sovereign Cloud OpenStack

Full description

Your sovereign cloud infrastructure, hosted in Morocco, compliant with African regulations

Facing digital sovereignty challenges and drastic VMware price increases (up to 500% following Broadcom acquisition), ECINTELLIGENCE offers you a powerful alternative with OpenStack, the world's leading private cloud platform adopted by over 45 million cores in production.

🚨 VMware Alert: Why migrate now?

  • Cost increases up to 500% since Broadcom acquisition
