Unveiled on October 25 at the Google Distributed Cloud Launch event, the joint venture Clarence is Europe’s first disconnected sovereign cloud solution and marks an important step in Luxembourg’s cloud journey.
Designed to meet the needs of businesses, the disconnected sovereign cloud is in line with the European guidelines of digital independence and autonomy, enabling companies to retain control over data access and integrity.
“Proximus has solid experience in delivering managed services to regulated companies in the financial sector, in full compliance with European regulations. LuxConnect brings its expertise in highly secure, state-of-the-art hosting to the table. Our common goal is to enable our customers to benefit from a trusted solution on the Luxembourg market,” says Gérard Hoffmann, CEO of Proximus Luxembourg.
A combination of the words clarity and transparency, Clarence aims to reflect both of these values in the joint venture of Proximus and LuxConnect.
“Based on Google Cloud technology, this unique proposition guarantees the confidentiality and security of the most sensitive information, giving control over data, and offering total autonomy of operation. Clarence respects the highest ethical standards in data protection, confidentiality, transparency and regulatory compliance,” explains Paul Konsbruck, CEO of LuxConnect.
