    On July 15, 2026, operator O2 is launching a new generation of its cloud platform designed for the corporate segment. This response addresses current market dynamics, where many businesses are looking for alternatives to global providers due to changing licensing terms. The new solution, built on open architecture, is intended to bring greater cost control and eliminate reliance on a single vendor.

    A key technological element of the new infrastructure is the deployment of HPE Morpheus Enterprise for management and automation. O2 states it is the first provider in the Czech Republic to offer this technology. The system is designed to serve not only corporate clients but also medium-sized companies and developers. Entry costs for running virtual servers start at around 500 Czech crowns per month.

    “We have designed the new O2 Cloud platform to offer customers greater flexibility, predictable costs, and the ability to develop their IT in the long term without dependence on a single vendor,” said Lukáš Uhl, Director of the O2 ICT Division.

    In terms of security and legislation, the cloud solution runs exclusively in Czech data centers. The platform complies with the requirements of the European NIS2 directive and the new cybersecurity law. The infrastructure has SOC 2 certification and is listed in the Ministry of Interior's Cloud Computing Catalog at Tier III level, allowing its use for critical state administration systems and handling sensitive data.

    For existing customers, the operator has prepared a migration program that includes an individual migration plan and a free analysis of their current infrastructure. Companies can test the new environment in real operation for two months free of charge. According to the company, existing clients will be contacted by sales representatives, and new interested parties can register via the website.

    O2 Czech Republic, part of the PPF group, is strengthening its position in the ICT and hosting sector with this step. In addition to cloud services, the operator has long focused on cybersecurity, fifth-generation mobile networks, and the deployment of artificial intelligence tools within its Dataclair.ai center.
