TAS Cloud Services

TAS Cloud Services is a French hosting, cloud, and managed services provider operating from Sophia Antipolis (Valbonne/Antibes area), France. The company positions itself as a proximity “hébergeur / infogérant” and states it has operated its own servers in Sophia Antipolis since 1997, running a Tier IV data center environment with a published 99.99% service availability claim. TAS Cloud Services markets housing/colocation, cloud (IaaS + PaaS via VMs and containers), managed services (infogérance), and data protection services including backup and PCA/PRA (business continuity / disaster recovery planning and implementation).

A notable recent milestone is TAS Cloud Services’ change of ownership in June 2025, when it announced joining Evolem (with A.R.D COM referenced in the same acquisition context), framing the move as part of building a “cloud souverain” ecosystem.
