    "Cloud-first" is no longer enough: Where should AI actually run?
    • "Cloud-first" Is No Longer Enough: Moving Toward an Optimized AI Infrastructure
    “Cloud-first” has long been the rule. But when it comes to AI workloads and constraints related to cost, latency, sovereignty, compliance, and energy consumption, this principle is reaching its limits. Should AI be run in the public cloud, in a multi-cloud environment, in a hybrid setup, at the edge, or on-premises? The choice of infrastructure has become a strategic decision, where performance, cost control, and vendor dependency must now be balanced.

    AI Connected to Your Company Files: 5 Best Practices for Unlocking New Uses Without Losing Control
    • "Cloud-first" Is No Longer Enough: Moving Toward an Optimized AI Infrastructure
    AI is transforming the way organizations manage their files: semantic search, generation, analysis, and process automation. But connecting AI to files scattered across email, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, and internal shares involves three risks: losing control over access, exposing sensitive data to third parties, and paying multiple times for the same data.  This session takes a close look at 5 best practices to follow before connecting AI to your files … Read More

    Cloud Sovereignty and Data Governance: Two Challenges, One Strategy
    • Sovereignty and exit are becoming design choices
    Where is data hosted, who has access to it, and under which jurisdictions? These questions are now at the heart of organizations’ digital strategies. This workshop will provide an in-depth analysis of the links between data governance and cloud sovereignty, the growing role of the SecNumCloud framework, and organizations’ expectations regarding trusted cloud services. The discussions will be illustrated by the Ministry of the Interior’s experience and a sharing of its vision and commitments … Read More

    The Missing Link in AI Infrastructure: Your Content
    • "Cloud-first" Is No Longer Enough: Moving Toward an Optimized AI Infrastructure
    • Control vs. Freedom in a Multi-Cloud Environment
    Companies are investing heavily in computing, modeling, and the cloud. Yet most generative AI projects hit a roadblock at the same point: content. Contracts, technical files, and regulatory documents remain scattered across multiple silos, subject to uncontrolled access rights. The result: AI that gives the wrong answers—or answers too well to people who shouldn’t know. This session treats content as a full-fledged layer of infrastructure. Co … Read More

    • Sovereignty and exit are becoming design choices
    In any cloud architecture, the majority of actual dependencies are concentrated in five critical layers: orchestration, identity, execution, data, and governance. For each of these, the question is strategic: do you control this component, or is someone else controlling it on your behalf? SUPERPHENIX is a Kubernetes-native, open-source, and industrialized cloud platform that enables operators and organizations to build and operate their own cloud, without relying on proprietary stacks … Read More

    The Cloud Beyond the Cloud: Building the Infrastructure of Choice
    For fifteen years, the cloud has transformed the way we think about infrastructure. But the rise of AI, vendor consolidation, changing costs, sovereignty issues, and the resurgence of hybrid infrastructure are once again changing the rules of the game. The challenge is no longer to choose between the cloud and on-premises solutions, but to build an infrastructure capable of combining the two, scaling as needed, and—above all—preserving our freedom of choice. And what if reversibility… Read More

    Cyberattack: Are You Really Prepared?
    • Sovereignty and exit are becoming design choices
    When a cyberattack occurs, tools alone are no longer enough. You have to make quick decisions, communicate under pressure, coordinate teams, and manage information that is sometimes contradictory. And it’s rarely the best time to figure out everyone’s roles. Drawing on the experience of HeyCyber, a startup specializing in cyber crisis management exercises, this presentation aims to revisit a key issue: how can an organization be practically prepared to face a cyber crisis?

    Switch from Shadow AI to sovereign AI
    • "Cloud-first" Is No Longer Enough: Moving Toward an Optimized AI Infrastructure
    • Sovereignty and exit are becoming design choices
    AI is already being used by business units, support teams, developers, and executive management—often without the IT department’s knowledge. This “Shadow AI” exposes the company to data leaks, non-compliance risks, and costs that are difficult to control. How can you regain control without stifling innovation or imposing additional constraints on business units? This session presents a concrete strategy, starting with the cloud foundation: understanding where models run, where data flows, and what … Read More

    Sovereign Cloud: Operational Reality or Costly Compromise?
    • "Cloud-first" Is No Longer Enough: Moving Toward an Optimized AI Infrastructure
    • Sovereignty and exit are becoming design choices
    The sovereign cloud has become a stated imperative. But behind the rhetoric, dependencies remain strong. Multi-cloud is often presented as a solution for regaining control, but does it truly reduce exposure? Between legal constraints, infrastructure choices, energy consumption, and cost trade-offs, decisions are becoming more complex. A practical look at the trade-offs that shape cloud strategies.

This model is collapsing in the face of environments that have become too complex, too fast, and too critical for human intervention.

    Monitoring in the Age of GenAI: Beyond Golden Signals
    The four golden signals (Latency, Errors, Traffic, Saturation) have been the foundation of application monitoring for years, and they remain important, but for GenAI applications, these signals alone leave significant blind spots. A request can return a 200 OK with low latency while the response generates incorrect information, leaks PII, or costs much more than expected.
