The two companies are thus strengthening their alliance to offer a solution that leverages Microsoft Azure Stack technology as its private cloud platform. Microsoft Azure Stack is a solution that allows businesses to benefit from a private instance of the Microsoft Azure cloud. Atos provides Microsoft Azure Stack as part of its comprehensive suite of hybrid cloud solutions designed to transform infrastructure and applications.
The MindSphere private cloud application will provide numerous benefits, including guaranteed data compliance, which is critical for sensitive and regulated industries. Atos will run MindSphere in its own and its customers' data centers, located in Europe and fully managed according to industry standards, ensuring that company data and connectivity are well-managed in accordance with local regulations. Finally, it offers improved application performance and horizontal integration, with reduced latency between the MindSphere environment and associated business applications.
More generally, MindSphere offers support for a wide range of industry-specific devices, applications, and protocols, as well as advanced analytics, and an innovative development environment based on Siemens' open Platform as a Service (PaaS) capabilities.
