2011 has begun very auspiciously for Bull Direct, as we are delighted that Cédric Villani – recently awarded the Fields Medal, the world’s highest distinction in mathematics – has granted us an exceptional interview on how computer simulation has supported his research work.
Faced with the widespread interconnection of systems and the growth of digital technologies, the protection of information assets is now central to the issues of sovereignty for public sector bodies and business competitiveness. We’re reminded of this every day in the news bulletins. And our customers have to be able to rely on a trusted technology partner to help them seize all the opportunities offered by the digital economy, while still managing the attendant risks and complexities.
With the roll-out of our strategic plan for 2011-2013, Bull is aiming to be just that kind of partner for you and your organization, setting the benchmark as a European leader in mission-critical digital systems. In order to support you in your international development and extend our own position – most notably in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa – Bull is concentrating on four key business areas, which all draw on an international network of centers of expertise and services centers:
- As a manufacturer of large-scale enterprise servers and some of the world’s most powerful supercomputers
- As the architect, integrator and operator of environmentally-friendly Data Centers and the ‘computing power plants’ behind the Cloud computing movement
- As a European leader in trusted digital infrastructures, most notably with the integration of Amesys into the Group and the launch of new homeland security and cyber-defense offerings
- And as an integrator of scalable and made-to-measure functional and sector-specific business solutions.
Thanks to our technological expertise in computing power and security, our high added-value integrated solutions, and our breadth of expertise which is being strengthened through our new recruitment campaign, Bull has everything in place to help you build and operate tomorrow’s reliable, secure and scalable information systems, right now.
May I wish you a happy and extremely successful New Year, and assure you that we remain totally committed to supporting your most complex projects.
Thank you for your continued trust and confidence in Bull.
Philippe Vannier
Chairman and CEO, Bull
