Central to both PHYSICS (cloud design patterns, multi-cloud optimization) and EVOLVE (cloud-enabled testbed) projects.
CYBELETECH
French SME specializing in cloud orchestration, HPC infrastructure, and serverless computing for data-intensive European research applications.
Their core work
CybeleTech is a French SME specializing in cloud computing, high-performance computing (HPC), and big data infrastructure services. They build and optimize cloud-native platforms, serverless architectures, and multi-cloud orchestration solutions for data-intensive applications. Their work spans designing testbeds that combine HPC and cloud resources to process large-scale, diverse datasets across sectors like transportation, healthcare, and agriculture. They contribute technical expertise in cloud design patterns and performance optimization within larger European research and innovation consortia.
What they specialise in
Core contributor to EVOLVE (HPC and cloud testbed) and EUPEX (European Pilot for Exascale computing).
PHYSICS project focused specifically on FaaS optimization and serverless computing in hybrid environments.
EVOLVE project addressed extracting value from diverse data at large scale using fast storage architectures.
How they've shifted over time
CybeleTech's trajectory shows a clear shift from infrastructure-level work toward application-oriented cloud services. Their early H2020 involvement (2018) focused on foundational big data infrastructure — HPC-cloud testbeds, fast storage architectures, and processing pipelines for sectors like maritime and automotive. By 2021-2022, their focus moved up the stack toward serverless computing, Function-as-a-Service, and cloud design patterns applied to domain-specific use cases like eHealth, smart agriculture, and smart manufacturing. Their latest involvement in the EUPEX exascale pilot suggests they are also positioning themselves in the European sovereign computing ecosystem.
CybeleTech is moving toward application-layer cloud services (FaaS, multi-cloud) while maintaining roots in HPC, positioning them well for the convergence of exascale computing and cloud-native service delivery.
How they like to work
CybeleTech operates exclusively as a participant, never as a coordinator — typical of a specialized SME that contributes targeted technical expertise rather than managing large consortia. With 61 unique partners across 19 countries from just 3 projects, they consistently join large, multi-national consortia (averaging ~20 partners per project). This suggests they are a trusted specialist brought in for specific cloud/HPC capabilities rather than a project driver.
Despite only 3 projects, CybeleTech has built a broad network of 61 partners across 19 countries, reflecting their participation in large-scale European computing initiatives. Their reach spans most of the EU, with no narrow geographic concentration.
What sets them apart
CybeleTech sits at the intersection of HPC and cloud computing — two domains that are rapidly converging as European exascale programs demand cloud-native service delivery. As a French SME rather than a large research institution, they can offer agile, focused contributions on cloud orchestration and serverless architectures. Their cross-sector application experience (transport, eHealth, agriculture, manufacturing) makes them a versatile technology partner for consortia needing cloud infrastructure expertise applied to specific verticals.
