An integrator responds to a tender to host a regional authority's information system. Cloud Temple appears on the qualified cloud list. The team copy-pastes a generic "web hosting" answer. The contracting authority asks: SecNumCloud on which scope? Reversibility within what deadline? Silence.
Cloud Temple answers demanding public cases — if the case speaks their language: classification, architecture, reversibility, budget.
Cloud Temple positioning
Cloud Temple is sovereign French cloud (Paris), sovereignty score 9.8/10, targeting regulated organisations and public sector. SecNumCloud-qualified IaaS on defined scopes, HDS on certain products. No mass-market shared hosting.
| Case element | Public buyer expectation | Cloud Temple proof |
|---|---|---|
| Qualification | SecNumCloud / HDS if tender requires | Attestations, annexes |
| Location | France / EU | Documented Paris DC |
| Reversibility | Export, deadline, format | Contract clause |
| Sub-processors | List + DPA | Provided transparency |
| SLA / DR | RTO/RPO | Enterprise offer |
Cross-check Cloud Temple SecNumCloud public projects and GDPR HDS SecNumCloud.
A credible public case maps each component (app, database, files, logs, backups) to a qualified zone or not.
Recommended case structure
Context and classification: sensitive data, criticality, ANS/SSI framework. Target architecture: network diagram, prod/staging separation, encryption. Qualification scope: which VMs or buckets under SecNumCloud or HDS. Operations: who patches, who monitors, on-call. Reversibility: export, destruction, contract end. 36-month TCO: compute, storage, egress, managed ops. References: comparable public projects — without inventing.
Frequent mistakes
Proposing Cloud Temple for a WordPress site at five hundred visits per day. Confusing SecNumCloud logo with whole-architecture coverage. Forgetting backups outside qualified scope. Underestimating onboarding time — weeks, not hours.
The climax: trusted cloud requires a trusted case
Decide and move forward without blind spots
First validate SecNumCloud or HDS obligation with the project owner. Size architecture, request Cloud Temple quote and an alternative (Outscale, OVHcloud enterprise). Review the Cloud Temple profile, compare tool, and compliance guides before finalising the tender response.
Frequently asked questions
Cloud Temple for a simple institutional site?
Rarely — targets qualified sensitive workloads. A brochure without SecNumCloud or HDS requirement is usually oversized on this offer.
Documents for public procurement?
Architecture, classification, attestations, DPA, reversibility, recovery plan. Each component must attach to a qualified zone or be documented as out of scope.
SecNumCloud always mandatory?
No — per tender and ANS. Do not over-buy costly qualification without written tender obligation.
What budget to plan?
Enterprise — calculate 36-month TCO including egress and managed ops, not infrastructure entry price alone.
Cloud Temple is won in a public case — not in a "French host" line on the quote.
