Replace an outdated hosting platform
The solution Open Bee had been using until then was coming to an end. A migration project was therefore necessary. “Migrating all our customers from one platform to another can involve risks,” says Vincent Boyer, Open Bee's Technical Director.
Therefore, it was a question of opting for a hosting solution that combined all Open Bee's expectations, particularly in terms of security. “We needed to offer a document hosting solution for our customers with maximum business continuity and a disaster recovery plan,” continues the Technical Director.
Objectives
Open Bee needed a solution that would meet its needs in terms of security, incident reactivity, and providing new services
Security, cost, flexibility: Cloud Avenue ticks all the boxes for Open Bee
Orange Business has been supporting Open Bee's projects and digital transformation for ten years. For this new challenge, Open Bee naturally turned to Orange Business. “Among a selection of other partners, Orange Business was the partner of choice,” says Marc Balleydier, founder of Open Bee. “Because, like us, Orange Business is a player that is committed to their customer promises.”
While Orange Business and Open Bee share many common grounds—technical expertise, human values, and customer satisfaction—Cloud Avenue's features have also appealed to Open Bee.
"We needed to host our data in France due to sovereign cloud issues," recalls Marc Balleydier. Indeed, Cloud Avenue addresses clients' sovereignty concerns with data centers operated and managed by Orange in France, ensuring legal sovereignty within Europe and immunity from extraterritorial laws, along with continuous support provided entirely by Orange Business employees.
Additionally, with Cloud Avenue, Open Bee can offer a highly effective business continuity plan to its clients, ensuring uninterrupted operations with multiple backups and protection software. Interruptions are minimized, even in the event of a failure or cyberattack.
The disaster recovery plan of Cloud Avenue facilitates efficient recovery with solutions like "dual room" and "dual site." Cloud Avenue also meets the needs of companies looking to control costs, as the hosting platform adopts flexible pricing based on resource usage. Furthermore, in terms of CSR and decarbonization goals, Cloud Avenue emits 43% less CO2 compared to the previous generation of Orange Business offerings.
With Cloud Avenue, Open Bee is set on a path to growth
Since then, Open Bee has been looking to the future, with a cloud platform to match its ambitions. "Following this migration, we will be able to implement new projects, especially in scalability. And with containerization, we really need it because we have a growing number of customers," notes the Technical Director.
"We are satisfied with the price, with the human touch, and with the performance," adds the founder of Open Bee. "I don’t think we should change a winning team!"
