What 3DS OUTSCALE does
3DS OUTSCALE (legal entity OUTSCALE SASU) is a sovereign cloud infrastructure provider and wholly-owned subsidiary of Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: DSY.PA), headquartered in Saint-Cloud, France, with operations across Europe, North America, and Asia (Tokyo via OUTSCALE K.K., established 2021). Founded in 2010, the company operates five cloud regions (eu-west-2, cloudgouv-eu-west-1 Public Sector Cloud, us-west-1, us-east-2, ap-northeast-1) and offers IaaS across three deployment models — International, Sovereign (SecNumCloud 3.2 qualified by ANSSI since Dec 2023, the first cloud provider worldwide), and Dedicated Cloud.
The platform runs on OUTSCALE's proprietary TINA / TINA OS orchestration software, with GPU compute up to NVIDIA H200, block storage (Magnetic/Performance/Enterprise tiers), object storage built on Scality RING at 11-nines durability, and networking primitives (VPN, DirectLink, Load Balancer Unit, NAT Gateway). Layered services include OUTSCALE Kubernetes as a Service (OKS), OUTSCALE Managed Databases (NuoDB), and AI offerings: AI Factories by OUTSCALE, LLMaaS on SecNumCloud 3.2 (Mistral AI models including Ministral 8B, Mistral Small/Medium 3, Voxtral, Codestral), AI Studio, and the Le Chat enterprise assistant. Quantum as a Service (QaaS, beta from November 2025) extends the portfolio to quantum experimentation.
Revenue is generated primarily through usage-based IaaS billing (per-second VM, per-hour GPU, per-GiB-month storage) supplemented by monthly LLMaaS bundles, subscription software licenses (Microsoft Windows Server, SQL Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux), Professional Services at fixed daily rates (EUR 1,250–2,500/day), and marketplace commissions from partner publishers. The GTM is enterprise-direct into regulated verticals (public sector, healthcare, financial services, insurance, automotive, industrial) backed by OUTSCALE EXPERIENCES, OUTSCALE Academy, the OUTSCALE for Entrepreneurs startup program, and the OUTSCALE Marketplace. Customer logos include Danone, Auchan, Cerba HealthCare, and French public sector administrations, with over 1,200 corporate clients cited historically (2018); certifications comprise ISO 27001/27017/27018, HDS, TISAX, SOC 2 Type 2 (audited by Deloitte), and CISPE Code of Conduct compliance.

3DS OUTSCALE competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Google Sovereign Cloud: Google's sovereign-cloud framework deployed in partnership with local players (including S3NS in France). A major incumbent that offers comparable AI/ML capabilities (Vertex AI) and competes for European public-sector sovereign workloads.
- Microsoft Azure (with Cloud for Sovereignty): Global hyperscaler offering 'Microsoft Cloud for Sovereignty' with controls for regulated workloads. While not SecNumCloud-qualified in France, it is increasingly targeting the same public-sector and regulated-industry customers via partner ecosystems.
- AWS European Sovereign Cloud: Amazon's planned sovereign cloud region for Europe, designed to address EU sovereignty concerns and compete for regulated workloads. Though broader in scope, it represents a major incumbent threat to OUTSCALE's sovereign positioning in France and Europe.
Direct peers
- S3NS (Thales / Google Cloud): Thales-Google JV delivering a SecNumCloud-qualified cloud for French public sector and critical infrastructure, leveraging Google Cloud technology under Thales-controlled sovereignty. Directly competing for the same French sovereign cloud mandates.
- OVHcloud: Largest European sovereign cloud provider, offering comparable IaaS/PaaS services (compute, storage, Kubernetes, AI) with strong emphasis on data sovereignty and GDPR compliance. Direct head-to-head competitor for French and European regulated-industry workloads.
- Scaleway: European cloud provider offering IaaS, managed Kubernetes (Kapsule), object storage, and GPU instances with a comparable focus on European sovereignty and price-competitive compute. Competes directly on multi-cloud/sovereign positioning in France and Europe.
- Bleu (Capgemini / Orange JV): Joint venture between Capgemini and Orange offering a 'Cloud de Confiance' built on Microsoft Azure, targeting the same French regulated public-sector and OIV workloads under SecNumCloud requirements.
Emerging players
- IONOS Cloud: European cloud and hosting provider (United Internet subsidiary) offering IaaS, managed Kubernetes, and S3-compatible storage. Targets European SMEs and regulated customers with German/European data residency, partially overlapping with OUTSCALE's verticalized cloud offering.
- CoreWeave: GPU-focused cloud provider with significant NVIDIA H100/H200 capacity and managed Kubernetes offerings. Compares to OUTSCALE on AI/GPU infrastructure positioning, though without OUTSCALE's sovereign certifications or European regulatory focus.
- Hetzner: European cloud provider offering competitive IaaS (compute, storage) with data centers in Germany and Finland. Less overlap on AI/sovereign compliance but a comparable European alternative for price-sensitive workloads.
