Timothé Isvy, Aqua Ray's Sales Director, answered a few questions to better understand the specifics and benefits of this product.

"Private Clouds are one of Aqua Ray's flagship product lines. From design to maintenance of web platforms, Private Clouds are built on dedicated physical servers and installed in our data centers in France, with rigorous vertical integration to minimize outsourcing.
We take care of the infrastructure, virtualization system, operating systems and middleware to ensure the smooth running of these platforms.
We offer two types of Private Cloud: the Managed Private Cloud and more recently, the Secure Private Cloud (SPC), which is covered by ISO27001 and HDS certifications."

"After being certified ISO27001 and HDS last October, it was necessary to evolve our offers. Previously, we sold our servers with different levels of outsourcing.
We have evolved our model to allow the Private Cloud customer to add or remove resources according to their needs while ensuring that the physical server is dedicated to them. The idea with the CPS is to offer a high quality product combining security and performance."

"Aqua Ray is a small team that works in an agile manner to respond quickly to our clients' needs.
The same people who worked to obtain our certifications are also the ones who work in pre-sales to understand and solve our prospects' problems. This allows us to be responsive and easily adapt our offer.
From a technical point of view, we pay special attention to CPS customers:

These strong contractual commitments allow us to maintain a high level of quality for our customers."

"Yes, we have designed our offering to include a basic foundation that allows small organizations to have a reliable web platform while meeting the HDS standard. This way, even small businesses can benefit from a superior infrastructure and meet current security standards."

"We are aware that we are entering a market where there are already well-established players, but we are confident in our ability to provide competitive offerings.
We control our entire production chain: from our data center and our network to the maintenance of middleware on our Clouds. This allows us to price our services aggressively by market standards while offering a reliable infrastructure that complies with current security standards.
We are confident that our expertise and flexibility will allow us to stand out and meet the needs of our customers in this market."

"In terms of pure resources, we are on similar products to those offered by our competitors. However, our competitive advantage lies in our technical expertise and our ability to provide superior support and follow-up.
We work closely with our customers to understand their specific needs and provide solutions tailored to their requirements. We believe that our customer-centric approach combined with our technical expertise allows us to stand out in the market and offer added value to our customers."

"We have a clear business model that our customers and prospects like. It is perfect for all types of needs because it is customizable and has an excellent price-performance ratio."
