These commitments address the real challenges you face: how can you ensure strategic autonomy in a globalised digital world? How do you reconcile productivity with security? How do you reduce the environmental impact of your infrastructure without sacrificing performance? How do you maintain technological independence in the face of digital giants?

Our answers are not theoretical. They are built into every product, every architecture, every partnership we develop.

Control over your data is a key driver of competitiveness and innovation. Clever Cloud guarantees sovereignty through full immunity from extraterritorial laws.

Our legal and technical architecture protects you: European capital and headquarters, no subsidiaries in the USA, infrastructures spread across more than 10 global datacentres but none subject to US or Chinese laws. Whether your data is hosted in Paris, Gravelines, or Canada, it is beyond the reach of the Cloud Act, FISA laws, and any form of extraterritorial interference.

This approach goes beyond simple compliance. It gives you the freedom of decision that is essential to competitiveness. No foreign government can access your industrial secrets, customer data, or business strategies. Your R&D investments, innovations, and intellectual property remain under your exclusive control.

Strategic autonomy also means the ability to switch providers. Unlike proprietary solutions that lock you in, Clever Cloud respects open standards and guarantees the portability of your data and applications.

Security is not a service bolted on afterwards, it is an architectural principle. Our security by design approach integrates protection from the very beginning, creating a naturally resilient cloud.

Our immutable infrastructures revolutionise threat management. Each deployment creates an entirely fresh environment, regularly updated and free from alteration. If an application is compromised, the affected part automatically disappears at the next deployment. This approach eliminates entire classes of vulnerabilities and turns security maintenance into an automated process.

We reject the “fortress metaphor” in favour of security in depth. Every component of our network is identified, authenticated, and communicates in encrypted form. This architecture prevents threats from spreading and limits the impact of potential intrusions.

Our certifications attest to this excellence: ISO 9001, ISO 27001:2022, Health Data Hosting (HDS), and we are currently in the process of obtaining SecNumCloud qualification on our own infrastructures. More than recognition, these certifications structure our processes and ensure a constant level of security.

Proactive monitoring completes the system. Clever Cloud detects and patches vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, preventing sleepless nights and security crises.

The climate emergency requires us to rethink our technological models. Our vision of Green IT proves that technical excellence and environmental responsibility can converge.

Our approach automatically optimises resource allocation. Intelligent orchestration of our machines delivers up to 30% CPU savings, with fewer servers needed for the same performance. The result: reduced carbon impact and optimised cloud bills.

We use our servers until the end of their useful life, avoiding premature renewal and reducing the environmental cost of manufacturing. Our partner datacentres achieve PUE levels below 1.3, and we prioritise low-carbon energy sources.This environmental strategy generates direct savings: per-second billing based on actual consumption, controlled auto-scaling to keep costs in check, transparent pricing with no hidden complexity. Your IT budget becomes predictable and optimised.

Open source is not a trend, it is a strategy for independence. As a member of the Eclipse Foundation and an active contributor to European projects (Sōzu, Biscuit, Exherbo Linux), we nurture a free and transparent technological ecosystem.

This philosophy protects you from vendor lock-in. Our solutions are built on open standards, documented protocols, and public APIs. Your technical investments remain sustainable and portable. If you decide to switch providers, your data and applications migrate without lock-in.

Open source also fuels innovation. Collaborative development accelerates bug fixes, feature additions, and adaptation to new needs. This community dynamic directly benefits your infrastructure.

Our commitment goes beyond consumption: we actively contribute to the development of European open source projects. This strengthens Europe’s technological autonomy and reduces our collective dependency on proprietary solutions.

Diversity is not just a moral value, it is a driver of performance. Teams with diverse backgrounds design solutions that are better suited to a wide variety of uses and needs.

We take concrete actions: monitoring pay rises by gender, training managers, promoting women’s representation in technical roles, improving work-life balance.

Diversity fuels innovation. Our multicultural teams better understand global issues, design more universal solutions, and anticipate the needs of diverse markets.

Innovation often begins in startups and student projects. Our UP programme embodies our commitment to the French and European tech ecosystem.

This programme goes beyond simple cloud credits. It offers skills development support: tailored training from our Technical Account Managers, monthly workshops on best practices, technical and business mentoring. The goal: to turn the cloud into a growth accelerator rather than a technical or financial obstacle.

Our partnerships with incubators, accelerators, and IT schools build bridges between training and professional practice. This dynamic enriches the labour market and nurtures tomorrow’s talent.

This approach benefits the whole ecosystem. Developers trained in best cloud practices join corporate technical teams, raising the overall skill level. Supported startups sometimes become long-term clients or technology partners.

Choosing Clever Cloud means choosing a partner that turns technology into a lasting competitive advantage. Our commitments are not constraints, they are what make us different.

Q&A – Our commitments

Is Clever Cloud truly sovereign despite its global datacentres?

Yes, our sovereignty is based on our legal structure and technical choices, not geography. Clever Cloud has European capital and headquarters, with no subsidiaries in the USA. Our global infrastructures are not subject to any extraterritorial law. Your data is therefore safe from the Cloud Act, FISA laws, and any form of foreign government interference, regardless of physical location.

How do you combine maximum security with flexibility?

Our immutable infrastructure resolves this challenge. Each deployment automatically generates a secure, healthy environment with the latest security updates. This approach removes persistent vulnerabilities while maintaining high deployment velocity. Your teams can develop without constraints, with security guaranteed by the architecture.

Do your environmental commitments increase costs?

On the contrary, our approach optimises costs. Per-second billing based on actual consumption, intelligent auto-scaling, and automatic resource optimisation all reduce your cloud bill. Less energy waste means lower costs for you and less impact on the planet.

What if we want to switch providers?

Portability is guaranteed: your data and applications remain in open standard formats. No vendor lock-in. This freedom of choice is part of our commitment to your strategic autonomy.
