European infrastructure and IT company Jiliti Group has acquired French cloud provider Naitways.

Terms of the deal have not been shared.

The acquisition is hoped to strengthen Jiliti’s expertise in the life cycle management of on-premise or cloud IT infrastructure.

Stéphane Hascoët, chairman of the Jiliti Group, said: “Our aim at Jiliti is to continue our growth momentum by expanding our service offering. With this acquisition, we are confirming our European leadership across the entire IT value chain, while promoting cloud sovereignty in France.

“On-premise and cloud hybridization is a major challenge for our customers. Through our ability to offer a global infrastructure and information system management solution, we enable our customers to focus on their core business. I am delighted to welcome Minh-Hoa Nguyen, Jérémy Spy, and Tanguy Moreux to the group. Their expertise and commitment will be valuable assets for our acceleration.”

Jérémy Spy, CEO of Naitways, added: “Being part of the Jiliti group gives a new commercial and geographical scope to Naitways, while maintaining proximity to our customers. We will provide a broad response to their expectations in terms of cloud migration and hybridization, as well as operation, protection, security, and evolution of their infrastructures. Jiliti and Naitways will combine their strengths and skills to always better support their customers with excellent, strategic, and operational services.”

Jiliti Group is based in France and has been operating for more than 40 years. The company employs more than 820 people across 16 countries and offers services including infrastructure architecture, transformation, operational management, maintenance, and the recycling of IT infrastructures.
