Whether in the public or private sector, information storage represents a major challenge. Medical records, business intelligence, industrial secrets, financial reports and research results, in particular, must be very well protected. Constantly ahead of trends and a pioneer in sovereign cloud, Micro Logic offers a model that meets the needs of organizations. The data remains on Canadian territory, under a cloud protected by local laws and its processing is powered by clean energy.
“For me, it has always been nonsense that all of our data, particularly the most sensitive, is hosted by American companies, and therefore subject to American laws. In the context of the growing threat of cyberattacks and in a fragile geopolitical context, I could not resign myself to observing as a spectator this major part of the IT world dominated exclusively by foreign companies. I said to myself: we have the expertise, the infrastructure, clean energy. Why not manufacture our sovereign cloud, 100% Canadian? We succeeded,” says its president, Stéphane Garneau.
A sovereign cloud…
All data is important to an organization, especially that which is sensitive and crucial. The Micro Logic cloud allows them to be kept under the jurisdiction of Canadian laws and regulations and protected from foreign influences. This cloud meets the strictest standards in force, while preserving the integrity of data and intellectual property.
“In the United States and Canada, for example, the laws governing access to information are not at all the same,” recalls the president of Micro Logic. This is a major differentiator since U.S. providers are subject to the CLOUD Act, a law that allows U.S. authorities to access data stored by U.S. companies, regardless of where that data is located in the world. . »
…and 100% Canadian
Opting for Micro Logic means investing in the creation of wealth and collective intelligence at home, it means supporting a pioneering company recognized worldwide for its exceptional know-how in cloud computing. By participating in the growth of the Quebec “cloud manufacturer”, we are helping not only to attract, but to retain talent in a niche essential to the technological shift. This opportunity to take Canadian leadership in the sovereign cloud is one of innovation and ambition.
“We made the bold bet of building a sovereign cloud by relying on the know-how of local talents. Today, our cloud holds the most recognized qualifications on the planet: only four clouds in North America have this level of qualification. We are part of an ultra select group. We are proof that local companies can compete with the best in the world on a technological level. We built a cloud. Above all, we have built collective wealth that benefits the entire ecosystem. »
— Stéphane Garneau, president of Micro Logic
Responsible and attentive to needs
Micro Logic is also banking on a quest for technological growth that takes place without imposing an ecological burden. Aware of the environmental impact of data processing, the company has favored, since its creation, data centers with a high energy efficiency factor.
From yesterday to today
If Micro Logic contributes today to the influence of Quebec expertise, the history of the company began 41 years ago. Acquired by Stéphane Garneau in 2009, it went from an Apple product store to one of the largest information technology providers in the country. Since 2014, all profits have been invested in the design of a cloud – Cirrus – intended to conquer this emerging market. The company is experiencing dazzling growth, creating wealth here, and strengthening Quebec’s position in IT. It participates in the offering of paying jobs and the attraction and retention of talent.
“In 2014, no one was talking about the cloud when we launched our solution, at least not like they are now. We knew how to go for it and became, in Quebec, a pioneer,” concludes the president of Micro Logic.
