Virtualization for Local Authorities Modernize, secure, and optimize your systems
Reduce costs, gain agility, and ensure service continuity for your business applications (civil registry, finance, urban planning, HR, etc.).
Benefits for Municipalities and Intermunicipal Authorities

Budget Optimization
Less hardware, lower energy consumption, extended refresh cycles. Precise management of licensing and capacity.

Service Continuity
High availability, live migration, automatic failover. Ideal for 24/7 citizen-facing services.

Agility & Speed
Provision a VM in minutes for a new business application, a portal, or a pilot database.

Security & Compliance
Workload isolation, network micro-segmentation, encryption at rest and in transit, centralized logging. Fully aligned with GDPR requirements.

Environmental Responsibility
Higher host utilization, energy-efficient design, optimized cooling options, and opportunities for responsible purchasing.

Intermunicipal Resource Sharing
A shared platform for municipalities: economies of scale, standardization, and simplified support.
