In April, the company specializing in cloud and cybersecurity created an event with the first offer including secure AI hosting in overseas territories in Reunion : ExoSMART*.
It is as a partner of the Omega 1 data center – and not a “shareholder”, as we mentioned by mistake in our previous edition – that Exodata is capable of offering this unique offer overseas. Since it communicated on its investment approach around the hosting of AI infrastructures, the feedback from the ecosystem is very positive – “genuinely warm”, indicates the Reunion Island company, a pioneer in data hosting. “We have been contacted by both established companies and start-ups, with a very strong interest in local AI hosting solutions, secure and controlled. » Interesting point : while the overseas leader in digital services initially thought it would respond mainly to the needs of shared AI infrastructures, demand is also moving towards dedicated infrastructures, guarantees of performance and control for organizations. otherwise, the tech operator was quickly contacted by players in the Antilles, of the Pacific, and hexagon, “which confirms that the need goes far beyond a single territory”. So many signals confirming that local AI hosting meets a real expectation of overseas economic players. “Within 18 months, we will be able to extend our offer to meet these expectations in all of our areas of operation”, confirm Exodata.
