In a context where sovereignty, transparency, and control are increasingly strategic, this partnership between two European companies will open new possibilities for customers looking to reduce their reliance on foreign vendors. Together, Eviden and Vates aim at delivering a 100% sovereign infrastructure stack from the hardware to the virtualization platform.

By combining Eviden’s latest BullSequana SH servers, its enterprise servers for AI and critical applications, and Vates VMS, its fully open-sources virtualization management stack, businesses and organisations can benefit from efficient, secure, and predictable infrastructure, adaptable to a variety of scenarios, from data center setups to specific deployments.

Charles-Philippe Gaudron, Global head of Business Computing and AI, at Eviden, Atos Group highlighted “Convinced of the potential of this collaboration, we are currently deploying Vates VMS solution in our Angers factory, Eviden’s flagship industrial site which we are transforming into a next-generation factory. This partnership with Vates underscores our commitment to technological autonomy, providing sovereign solutions that meet the critical needs of modern businesses. Together, we are strengthening Europe’s capacity to innovate and lead in the global technological landscape.”

Olivier Lambert, CEO, Vates said “This partnership with Eviden is a strong endorsement of Vates’ legitimacy in the virtualization market. Eviden’s decision to deploy our solution internally demonstrates that Vates VMS can serve as a credible alternative to US-based proprietary solutions in most environments. We are proud to be working alongside Eviden to strengthen European technological sovereignty and demonstrate that Europe has all the resources needed to offer solid, sustainable alternatives to non-European solutions.”
