Mainframe & Hybrid Cloud: The Winning Combination

Written by NOVIPRO | Mar 11, 2025 12:48:34 PM

As geopolitical stakes intensify and regulatory frameworks evolve, digital sovereignty has become a strategic priority for companies and public institutions alike. It’s essential that organizations maintain control over their data, infrastructure and technology choices, while ensuring compliance with current regulations, such as Quebec’s Law 25 and European frameworks on digital sovereignty.

For many organizations, traditional (on-site) mainframes remain a fundamental pillar of their operations, running mission-critical applications, particularly in sectors such as finance, telecommunications, healthcare and public administration. However, these environments may lack the flexibility to integrate new cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
The solution
? A hybrid approach that combines the robustness of mainframes with the scalability of cloud.

This is where NOVIPRO comes in, with its SYMPHONI environment paired with OVHcloud infrastructure, enabling companies to effectively manage their hybrid environments while combining performance, security, compliance and cost optimization.
