EMC2

Please describe your company/activity/business EMC Corporation is a global leader in enabling businesses and service providers to transform their operations and deliver IT as a service. Fundamental to this transformation is Cloud Computing. Through innovative products and services, EMC accelerates the journey to Cloud Computing, helping IT departments to store, manage protect and analyse their most valuable asset-information-in a more agile, trusted and costefficient way. Please describe your relationship/partnership with EBRC (benefits, technological complementarity, market opportunities, common values, etc.) Over 15% of the worldwide offering of Tier IV Data Centres is concentrated in Luxembourg. A Tier IV Data Centre is the most stringent level of Data Centres, which is designed to host mission critical computer systems, with fully redundant subsystems and compartmentalised security zones. This is where EMC comes into play within the Trusted Managed Services offering from EBRC. In 2012, EBRC and EMC have signed a major partnership for the EBRC Trusted Backup and Restore Services (TBRS) in EBRC TrustedCloudEurope. The joint solution consists in a unique replicated BackUp solution to EBRC 2 Tier IV certified Data Centres (Uptime Institute, USA). In addition, due to its PSF Status, the information does not leave EBRC Data Centres in Luxembourg. The encrypted data remains the customer’s property. Both EBRC and EMC already have a track record in the banking industry in Luxembourg but this solution is also very attractive for e-commerce outlets and other companies looking for a secure and fully redundant Bakup and Restore “Pay-as-You-Go” Cloud solution. Please describe your perception of the market (trails, trends, innovations, etc.). Describe your role on the market (expertise, value creation, support to other businesses, etc.) EMC believes that to be competitive in the mobile and cloud era, businesses need to redefine themselves as softwaredefined enterprises, offering unique experiences to their customers on mobile devices and providing greater and more timely insight to business users. To achieve this, they must transform their IT infrastructures and operations. The best option for customers is to invest in best-of-breed, integrated technology solutions that take a software-defined approach to infrastructure and are architected horizontally, allowing them to select the market offerings that are right for their unique needs.

Arnaud BACROS Country Manager EMC Belux luxembourg.emc.com

By building a completely virtualised and automated SoftwareDefined Data Centre, customers will lower the cost of running IT and provide the foundation for faster, more agile IT. This Software-Defined Data Centre provides a seamless cloud environment that can be extended from private cloud to the public cloud, forming a secure hybrid cloud – removing barriers to providing self-service and the highest service levels ever. To differentiate themselves, customers must build new applications in an agile way, with new platforms, and target those applications at mobile devices. Those mobile devices all need to be managed by IT to secure corporate information, while driving employee productivity and satisfaction. As enterprises start to store and analyse the massive data sets that are available, they will gain new insights about their customers and their business. This requires a “Data Lake” to store these vast amounts of information, and provide the ability to analyse and correlate it. Finally, an adaptive, data-driven approach to security that watches and analyses all activity is required to quickly recognise anomalies and act before it’s too late. Each company in the EMC Federation - EMC, VMware, Pivotal and RSA - provides unique products, services and expertise to deliver on these solutions. And while most vendors are building vertical stacks with no choice at the layers, our horizontally architected, software-defined approach includes both leading technologies and partner ecosystems to drive the new IT agenda – with customer choice.

EUDCA

THE EUROPEAN DATA CENTRE ASSOCIATION The European Data Centre Association has been established because the Data Centre industry believes that the time has come for it to have an organisation that is able to speak on its behalf and represent its interests. This united voice will give the industry more authority and standing when dealing with the various external bodies that affect the way it goes about its business.

Bernard LECANU Chairman www.eudca.com

Who has set it up? The EUDCA has been set up by a group of leading companies who operate in the Data Centre industry. These founder members come from a number of European countries, they are drawn from across the various parts of the sector, and they range from major international companies to independent operators. What is it for? Its principal role will be to influence public policy at European level to ensure that its members can operate effectively without unnecessary regulation and in a business-friendly environment. The association also has an important function role in explaining to a wider audience its crucial role in the continued development of the digital economy and in ensuring that its major contribution is more widely recognised. What will it do? In the sphere of government and regulation the EUDCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direct role will be help guide policy in a direction that assists its members and the wider industry continue to develop and grow. In a number of areas the European Union and certain national governments are developing policies whose effect on the industry is not fully understood by those making the polices. The areas that need to be watched include energy, the environment, and planning. However, financial matters, including taxation, could emerge. The EUDCA will lobby to explain fully the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns and position on these matters and to influence policy from the start of its development. There will be a need to put in place the facility for monitoring the European Parliament and possibly, at times, some of the national Parliaments. Linked to this process is explaining the key role the industry plays in the modern economy. This should position the industry as a force that is prepared to invest, contributes to growth, could provide jobs, and that therefore should not be burdened by unnecessary costs. This means there is an education role for the EUDCA in relation to opinionformers.

Part of this will be the full use of the modern media in its various forms. It is important that the EUDCA has its set of key messages that it can keep using, accompanied by regular comments on any issue that has an impact on the sector. Who can be members? The EUDCA will mainly have members operating within the European Union and Switzerland. What services will it offer? Apart from its public affairs and media roles the EUDCA will seek to raise standards across the industry: Professional development for those already working in the industry and training for those seeking to enter the sector. It might lead to a system of certification contributing to the professionalising of the whole industry. As the association develops it may offer other professional services that will benefit its members and increase the range of professional advice available. What does it hope to achieve? The goal of the EUDCA is to have a single voice that can speak on behalf of the Data Centre industry. There is no body that currently fulfils that function. The member companies will have more weight and power when they seek to influence policy and public perceptions. By having one body covering a wide variety of members, a more strategic approach will be developed to external threats or problems and clear, crisp and coherent messages should then evolve. The EUDCA will make it far easier for the Data Centre industry to explain both its achievements to a wider audience and why it is an increasingly vital part of everyday life in the digital age.

FLASHiZ

Please describe your company/activity/business FLASHiZ: ‘‘a Solution for the future’’ FLASHiZ, an innovative company founded in 2011 by professionals from the Financial Sector and the Payments Industry strives to simplify electronic payment while reducing costs for both consumers and commercial organisations. FLASHiZ offers a free, simple mobile application that delivers a secured service of electronic payment via smartphone through a QR code or NFC based system. It enables users to pay in store, online, pay printed invoices and even make peer-to-peer payments. FLASHiZ also offers to merchants an innovative digital loyalty solution directly integrated to payment. It can be seamlessly integrated to any merchant system, (it just requires a traditional cash platform on the merchant’s side). Neither the merchant nor the consumers have to invest into further hardware. This innovation is already accepted in more than 600 points of sales and reached an objective of 12,000 customers in Luxembourg. FLASHiZ is also available in Spain and in France where the company developed a grey labelling mobile payment solution for E.Leclerc retails store. Beyond Europe, FLASHiZ is currently deploying its solution in Asia thanks to a Joint Venture founded in 2013 with the Indonesian Sinarmas Group. For FLASHiZ, the Cloud was a real MUST to benefit from a “pay as you grow” infrastructure aligned with their business development. The challenge was to find the right Trusted service partner the right platform to deploy FLASHiZ to obtain their Professional of the Financial Sector (PSF) recognition... and that is how FLASHiZ got in touch with EBRC. Please describe your relationship/partnership with EBRC (benefits, technological complementarity, market opportunities, common values, etc.) A strong partnership EBRC, European Centre of Excellence in the Management of Sensitive Information based in Luxembourg, guarantees a unique “One-Stop-Shop” offering ICT Trusted Services. In the framework of the PFS status, EBRC meets the requirements of the CSSF, and is therefore allowed to operate ICT services for banks, financial institutions and investment fund companies. EBRC TrustedCloudEurope environment, within EBRC three Tier IV certified Data Centres (unique worldwide), combined with CSA recommendations alignment (Cloud Security Alliance, U.S.A.), ISO 27001 (Information Security standard), ISO 20000 (IT Service Management standard) and PCI DSS Level 1 (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) accreditations gave the way to build the 16 final solution.

Alexandre ROCHEGUDE CEO and Cofounder www.flashiz.com

A 6-month-Proof of Concept was carried out in order to give FLASHiZ and EBRC values and feed-backs to adapt the environment with the high level of security and confidentiality requested by the CSSF. The POC was concluded by a successful external audit asked by the regulator validating the solution. All criteria were met to give FLASHiZ the green flag to start their business. Please describe your perception of the market (trails, trends, innovations, etc.). Describe your role on the market (expertise, value creation, support to other businesses, etc.) The Strategy behind the Product FLASHiZ is a product with much market potential thanks to the innovative nature of the application and its multi-channel portability. The strategy hidden behind to make it successful can be described as follows: first build the solution to the highest specifications, then integrate a supply network and finally introduce it to the consumers. The product has stemmed from a very large research and development project, throughout which the software solution was built from scratch with external support of InTech (stateof-the-art development & consulting company). Cloud Computing has been since day one in the heart of FLASHiZ’s development, offering quick provisioning in line with rapid transactions growth. Now that the product has been launched and attracts a growing number of consumers, the next step is to implement FLASHiZ’s strong international growth plan. On top of its high-end security level, EBRC TrustedCloudEurope and TrustedManagedServices innovative approach has also been a key element to support FLASHiZ. Specialised in developing long-term strategies for on-going growth, EBRC supports companies in their journey to success.

services (APIs, data visualizations, real-time monitoring). Its mission: make it easier for anyone to publish, share and reuse data. Business users daily deal with lots of data but don’t extract all their value. OpenDataSoft helps them monetize their data on the Web and through applications. With OpenDataSoft, any non-tech user can turn any data into interactive data visualizations and share it everywhere on the Web (social media, website embeds) and into APIs to build innovative business applications. OpenDataSoft’s approach is unique: • the platform is turnkey and SaaS, making it very easy to launch comprehensive portals in hours • our pricing model is based on usage (data volume and API queries) • our platform allows simple integration into Web and mobile applications • our data visualizations are state-of-the art (automatic generation of maps and graphs, embed feature...) Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Paris, France, OpenDataSoft powers data sharing portals for customers such as the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the Paris Region, the City of Brussels, the French National Railway Company, Veolia, m2ocity.

Please describe your perception of the market (trails, trends, innovations, etc.). Describe your role on the market (expertise, value creation, support to other businesses, etc.) With Web 2.0, a whole new generation of Web interactions has emerged: intuitive interfaces, drag’n’drops, WYSIWYG… Business users are now looking for the same types of features at home and in the work place. They need user-friendly solutions that have been designed for them and not for tech people. When working with complex data, they also need to instantly understand what the data are about. Data visualizations (charts, maps, graphs…) are key elements in the increasingly data-driven processes and tasks. Besides, business applications are unavoidable. It is important to ease data integration into these applications, for example with APIs. These fundamental issues are at the core of OpenDataSoft’s development.

source communities. Bringing these innovative groups together fosters collaboration. And with a wide range of computing requirements, distinct approaches, and differing skills, the result is technology that meets the needs of today’s computing environments more effectively than any one group could have created alone. Driving Innovation with Open Source We deliver this technology to customers in two ways: 1. Offering commercial products for demanding environments Deploying solutions from Red Hat and its partners helps customers benefit from the best of both worlds—innovative technology coupled with the services, security, predictability, and quality that their businesses demand. 2. Sponsoring freely available open source projects We are experts at collaboration—developing new technology, solving common problems, and sharing the benefits with our customers and partners. For the past 20 years, the Red Hat open source software development model has produced high-performance, costeffective solutions. Our model mirrors the highly interconnected world we live in—where ideas and information can be shared worldwide in seconds. This model allows our customers to enjoy the highest levels of technology innovation while remaining aligned with realworld business requirements. Traditional, proprietary software development models cannot match this efficient, rapid, customer-focused method. Red Hat gives customers the maximum value from their investments by delivering solutions in collaboration with our hardware and software partners. These extensive collaborations connect every aspect of the enterprise, and help customers deploy integrated and certified configurations. At Red Hat, open source is not what we do, it’s how we do what we do. Interoperability and cost savings Coupled with our subscription model, open source standardisation results in low entry and exit costs. Our customers can choose the solutions and suppliers that best fit their needs, minimising vendor lock-in. CIOs and IT departments select Red Hat because we help them successfully deploy secure infrastructures that offer the best return on their investments. Red Hat helps them meet the demands of their businesses with practical, proven solutions.

Please describe your perception of the market (trails, trends, innovations, etc.). Describe your role on the market (expertise, value creation, support to other businesses, etc.) IT organisations face unprecedented challenges. Internal business customers continue to demand rapid delivery of innovative services to respond to outside threats and opportunities. Hamstrung by limited staff and budget, IT struggles to keep up, often exhausting resources simply trying to respond to changing business requests. In this tense environment, the options have been few: delay innovation that fuels the business or allow business users to procure services without IT oversight that ensures reliability, security, compliance and governance standards are met for the business. With Cloud Computing and VMware, your organisation can achieve something truly unique. IT can innovate more rapidly while maintaining reliability, security and governance for all applications and services under its control. Your internal IT team can more effectively match external suppliers’ moreefficient business models and public rate cards, and build a scalable, secure and manageable Cloud—your Cloud—that addresses your organisation’s unique business challenges. Your Cloud accelerates IT so that you can deliver results for your business.
