Altice, Microsoft and HP launch pioneering hybrid cloud in Portugal
Altice Portugal, Microsoft and Hewlett Packard (HP) Enterprise formalised, on 14 April, a partnership that will allow them to bring the Azure Cloud platform to Portugal, making this service available to companies with the guarantee that data will be hosted in Portugal.
The implemented solution is the Azure Stack Hub , a hybrid cloud that combines public cloud services with a private infrastructure, as the data is housed in Altice s Data Centre in Covilhã. This infrastructure allows, as of today (14 April), Altice Portugal s corporate clients to have access to a set of benefits that are recognised in the public cloud, but with the capacity to store, host and process data in Portugal, said the Chairman of Altice Portugal, Alexandre Fonseca, at the launching ceremony of the partnership, which took place at the Data Centre in Covilhã, in the Castelo Branco district.
