Sovereign hosting

Why does hosting matter?

In a CLM project, hosting determines where contract data resides, under which jurisdiction it is operated and under what rules it may be legally accessed.
A CLM concentrates strategic information. A loss of access or uncontrolled exposure of contract data can become a legal and operational risk.

OVHcloud architecture

For organisations with strong constraints, Gino can be deployed on an OVHcloud private cloud, with a business continuity and disaster recovery plan in France:

• Private cloud: deployment takes place in a dedicated environment, to meet high requirements for governance and control of the infrastructure.
• Located in France: data and services are hosted on French territory, on infrastructure operated by OVHcloud.
• Two separate sites: the primary site is in Gravelines (northern France) and the secondary site in Paris, with a significant geographical distance between the two to reduce the risk of a single incident affecting both sites at once.
• Business continuity and disaster recovery (BCP/DRP): the secondary site ensures continuity of service and the ability to recover after a major incident.

What this enables

Limiting extraterritoriality risks

Hosting with OVHcloud in France aims to limit the risks linked to extraterritoriality where this criterion is structuring for the organisation. It is not about promising absolute immunity, but about offering an architecture consistent with a sovereignty requirement set by IT and security departments.

Resilience

The primary site + secondary site configuration strengthens business continuity and operational recovery capability.

Alignment with European requirements

This architecture is in line with European requirements, notably on data protection and GDPR compliance.

This configuration is generally chosen when strong sovereignty or security requirements apply. One organisation working with ministerial entities chose this configuration in a context of heightened sovereignty.
