Sovereign does not mean hosted in France.
The word is everywhere, to the point of meaning nothing. Here is what sovereignty means for DIWY and Devana: independence. And here are its limits, honestly.
Our definition: not depending on a third party
Ask around what sovereign means. You will hear: hosted in France. That is a detail, not sovereignty. A SaaS hosted in France still depends on the cloud that carries it: if that cloud goes down, changes its prices or its terms, you take the hit.
For us, being sovereign means not depending on a third party. It means independence: local, in control, one single point of contact. With DIWY, the hosting is not in the cloud, it is in the box, at your place. And we own the machine: you are not renting a cloud, and we are not renting a host.
The SaaS dependency chain
Your SaaS tool
It calls itself sovereign because it is hosted in France.
Its cloud
Your tool depends on the cloud hosting it: its outages, its prices, its terms.
You
At the end of the chain, you depend on everyone. Every extra layer adds a risk and another party.
With DIWY, the chain disappears: the box is at your place, the system is ours, you have one single point of contact.
The limits of sovereignty
Nobody can sell you total sovereignty. Chips are not designed in France, and anyone claiming otherwise is lying to you. The real question is: how far can you go?
We went as far as possible. Devana OS, the applications, the processing of your data: all designed by us, in France. The limit is the chip, an NVIDIA chosen because it is built for local AI. And we own our machines: where a SaaS rents its cloud, DIWY rents nothing from anyone.
Sovereignty is a consequence.
What we build is independence: your data at your place, your budget under control, your usage governed, your know-how preserved. When all of that is true, you are sovereign. That is the direction it works in.
We bring it, we show you, we plug it in. If you like it, it stays with you.
