- CISPE members get access to Microsoft Software in a PayG CSP-Hooster program
- Privacy and sovereignty benefits also come with the latest update
- It is not clear if this draws a line under the battle of two years
In a great victory for European cloud suppliers, CISPE members can now offer Microsoft software under a use payment model through the Microsoft CSP-Hooster program, with license costs established as more closely related to those offers on the Microsoft Azure platform itself.
The news occurs after several obstacles in the battle of Cispe with the technological giant, but with the group members who can now house workloads without sharing customer data with Microsoft, the last development marks a great victory for client’s privacy.
However, some problems and limitations ongoing persist even after two years of struggle, including the application of ID in Microsoft 365, alternative identity management is not allowed.
CISPE WIN GREAT AGAINST MICROSOFT
Cispe described the victory as a “historical agreement” that has benefits of cost, privacy and sovereignty.
When it is generally available, Microsoft 365 will enable the implementation in local European (sovereign) infrastructure in the cloud, while customers will no longer have to pay more money to access Microsoft software on non -Microsoft platforms.
Despite reaching some agreements during the last two years, the continuous lobbying of Cispe has produced even more results.
“The agreement we reached with Microsoft marks a significant advance in our long -standing efforts to guarantee a leveling playing field,” said Cispe General Secretary Francisco Mingorance.
“For business clients, new programs directly address the previous concerns of CISPE members and train European companies to choose between a wide range of cloud solutions that satisfy their sovereignty, compliance and economic needs.”
The news occurs a few days after we knew that Microsoft was preparing a counterpart after not complying with an anterior deadline to solve the saga.
