This press kit brings together all the announcements made at ACCES 2025, Clever Cloud’s annual event held during the FOST. It illustrates the company’s ambition to provide a comprehensive, sovereign, high-performance European platform designed for the needs of modern organisations.
1. Beta launch of Clever Kubernetes Engine (CKE)
Clever Cloud announces the opening of Clever Kubernetes Engine (CKE), its managed Kubernetes offering designed to deliver a reliable, sovereign and simplified production experience. CKE is the result of several years of work on infrastructure automation and managed services. The aim is to make Kubernetes accessible to organisations without imposing the operational complexity involved in managing a traditional cluster.
Kubernetes has become an industry standard, but it can also introduce difficulties: control plane management, security, upgrades and monitoring. CKE takes on these responsibilities. The control plane is fully managed, upgrades are transparent, and nodes adjust automatically to demand. This approach allows teams to use Kubernetes as a tool without dealing with its operational constraints — in the Clever Cloud spirit.
CKE stands out thanks to Materia etcd, integrated as the underlying consistency and high-availability layer, replacing traditional etcd. This choice brings resilience, stability and predictable performance. CKE integrates natively with other Clever Cloud services: S3 object storage, databases, Pulsar, Network Groups, IAM, and more. Workloads can be deployed via kubectl, Helm or GitOps, while the infrastructure is operated by Clever Cloud.
With CKE, Clever Cloud strengthens its position as a credible European alternative to Big Tech Kubernetes platforms, in a sovereign, compliant and controlled environment. The offering is aligned with a shared 2026 roadmap.
2. New AI hosting and compute platform (H1 2026)
Clever Cloud announces a new AI platform developed with SpiNNcloud, available in the first half of 2026. This European neuromorphic infrastructure is designed to provide a high-performance, efficient and sovereign environment suitable for training, adaptation and inference of AI models.
SpiNNcloud technology already enables a significant reduction in the cost and energy consumption of AI workloads, with substantial gains expected for future architectures. Hosted and operated by Clever Cloud, the infrastructure guarantees a European framework independent from extra-European providers.
Offered through a flexible model, the platform will allow companies to use the capacity they need with no upfront investment. It integrates with the broader Clever Cloud ecosystem, providing a complete chain from data to model deployment in a coherent, controlled and transparent environment.
3. Materia: major updates for KV and launch of Materia TS (Tech Preview)
Materia, Clever Cloud’s serverless database product line, continues to evolve with significant improvements to Materia KV and the launch of Materia TS in tech preview.
Materia KV: enhancements
Materia KV gains stability, performance and an improved ability to handle substantial workloads, while retaining its serverless principles: strong consistency, high availability and automatic scaling. The new version also introduces KV Explorer, a tool within the Clever Cloud console for visualising, filtering and querying data via a dedicated terminal. These improvements strengthen KV’s use cases for microservices, operational data and distributed architectures.
Materia TS: tech preview launch
At the event, Clever Cloud will present Materia TS, the first engine in the range dedicated to time-series data. Built on technologies from the Warp 10 ecosystem, it is designed for observability, IoT, industrial environments, telemetry and continuous monitoring.
Materia TS enables ingestion, storage and analysis of massive volumes of time-series data thanks to an engine optimised for compression, structuring and time-based analytics. With Materia KV and TS, the Materia range becomes a comprehensive foundation covering several data models (SQL, KV, TS), fully integrated into Clever Cloud automation.
4. Strategic partnership with 2CRSI
Clever Cloud announces a strategic partnership with 2CRSI to develop hardware infrastructures that natively embed Clever Cloud technologies. Bringing together a European high-performance server manufacturer and a sovereign cloud provider, this collaboration aims to produce solutions designed for performance, efficiency and reliability.
The first systems resulting from this partnership will target critical environments — industry, telecoms, sensitive infrastructures — where security, traceability and governance are essential. This initiative extends Clever Cloud’s commitments to an independent and sustainable European infrastructure.
5. New Clever Cloud offering for Industry 4.0: unified Edge & Cloud platform
Clever Cloud introduces its offering dedicated to Industry 4.0, designed for industrial environments requiring security, continuity, low latency and controlled deployment processes. The offering combines on-premise, edge and cloud execution within a unified software framework based on Clever Cloud automation.
At its core, Clever Edge enables the deployment and maintenance of industrial applications close to equipment: production sites, embedded devices, virtualised environments or cloud environments. The platform is based on a Kubernetes distribution capable of running containers, VMs and system processes, with integrated management of networking, storage, updates, security, monitoring and logging.
The offering includes management of air-gapped environments — essential for sectors subject to strict regulatory requirements.
Designed for real-world Industry 4.0 use cases (logistics, industrial IoT, automation, distributed supervision), new customers are already using this offering. It targets manufacturing, logistics, industrial and sensitive sectors seeking resilience, autonomy and sovereignty.
6. Clever Cloud expands its infrastructure with two new data centres in Paris
Clever Cloud expands its infrastructure by opening two new points of presence in the Paris region, at ETIX Paris #3 in Vélizy and Telehouse TH3 in Magny-les-Hameaux, to support the company’s growth and the increasing demand for hosting capacity. First availability is expected in early 2026. With these two sites, Clever Cloud will operate five data centres in Île-de-France.
Clever Cloud selected ETIX for its ISO 27001, HDH and PCI DSS-certified infrastructure, suited to sensitive environments. As a key player in fully sovereign data centres, ETIX relies on a dense national footprint and an energy strategy based on a target PUE of 1.3, along with ISO 14001, ISO 50001 and ASHRAE certifications — aligned with Clever Cloud’s commitments to efficiency and sustainability.
“Our infrastructures are designed to combine high density, energy efficiency and reliability. This approach allows us to support the rise of cloud and artificial intelligence while controlling our environmental impact,” says Louis Blanchot, CEO of ETIX.
The Telehouse TH3 data centre, built on a former military site, provides a high level of availability (99.99% SLA), reinforced physical security and electrical capacities suited to scaling workloads. Already present at TH2, one of France’s main Internet hubs, Clever Cloud extends its connectivity and multi-site resilience with TH3. The site is ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001 and ISO 50001 certified.
7. Grist joins the Clever Cloud marketplace
Grist joins the Clever Cloud marketplace. This modern tool for manipulating and collaborating on tabular data allows teams to build internal applications, tracking dashboards and business workflows quickly. Hosted on Clever Cloud, Grist benefits from a sovereign environment and seamless integration with the platform’s other services.
8. Product updates: FerretDB, Pulsar General Availability & Network Groups
Clever Cloud announces three major product updates:
- FerretDB enhances the managed database offering with an open-source, MongoDB-compatible alternative.
- Apache Pulsar reaches General Availability, providing a mature engine for event-driven architectures and distributed systems.
- Network Groups introduce advanced network segmentation to isolate, organise and secure applications.
These developments strengthen Clever Cloud’s ability to serve as a complete foundation for modern applications requiring performance, security, cost control and strategic autonomy.
