MSP gains in peace of mind and performance with Scality ARTESCA

Since 2017, managed service provider SI Cloud has supported nearly 400 small and mid-size businesses in their digital transformation.

Based in eastern France, the company delivers sovereign cloud, hosting, and backup services built on three pillars: proximity, trust, and data sovereignty.

Challenges

Making sovereign backup simpler, faster, and more reliable

SI Cloud was known for quality service, but legacy systems were holding them back. Manual updates consumed valuable time, operations lacked fluidity, and their existing setup couldn’t support the dependable S3 backup service customers expected.

To continue delivering on its commitment to sovereignty and trust, SI Cloud needed a modern, immutable backup architecture that would integrate seamlessly with Veeam while reducing operational overhead.

“We needed a modern, immutable solution that was perfectly integrated with Veeam. With ARTESCA, we found much more than that. We found peace of mind.” says Cédric Bathelet, CEO, SI Cloud
