Why host your data in Morocco?
Morocco has a fast-growing datacenter infrastructure: Rabat, Casablanca, and Tangier host certified facilities connected to international submarine cables. For Moroccan businesses, local hosting reduces latency, simplifies compliance with Law 09-08 on personal data protection, and ensures greater digital sovereignty.
Colocation in a Moroccan datacenter also lets you share infrastructure costs (power, cooling, physical security, redundancy) while benefiting from high-quality national and international connectivity. In Morocco, many organizations choose a hybrid approach: sensitive data can be hosted locally with a Moroccan operator, while elastic compute workloads run on the public cloud. This is market practice observed among Moroccan operators and hosting providers, not Open Vista's current architecture: our client data remains hosted in the United States (New York) until the datacenter in Morocco opens.
Open Vista supports its clients throughout the entire journey: audit of the existing environment, datacenter or cloud selection, migration plan, security, and monitoring. Our consultants based in Rabat — our headquarters and our 24/7 support team (FR/EN/AR) — operate in Rabat, Casablanca, and across the Kingdom to secure your critical infrastructure. This consulting and monitoring activity does not involve hosting your data in Morocco to date.
Where does Open Vista host your data today? Today, the infrastructure for our VPS and our servers runs exclusively in our New York (United States) datacenter: your data remains hosted in the United States until our datacenter in Morocco opens. An Open Vista datacenter in Morocco (Rabat) has been announced and will open soon — it cannot be ordered yet. At launch, Open Vista will migrate your environments to Morocco with no service interruption. Clients who need data sovereignty in Morocco will be able to request that migration at that time.
Criteria for choosing a datacenter
- ✔Certifications and standards (TIER, ISO 27001, Uptime)
- ✔Power redundancy and cooling (N+1, 2N)
- ✔Connectivity: carriers, peering, submarine cables
- ✔Geographic proximity and local latency
- ✔SLA, 24/7 support and business continuity procedures
- ✔Total cost of ownership (TCO) over 3 to 5 years
FAQ: data centers and hosting in Morocco
Which data centers exist in Morocco?
Several data centers operate in Casablanca, Rabat and Tangier, backed by telecom operators and private players, and offer colocation, dedicated hosting and sovereign cloud services.
Is local hosting mandatory?
Law 09-08 sets rules for the protection of personal data; hosting in Morocco makes compliance easier, particularly for public administrations and regulated sectors.
Colocation or cloud: which should you choose?
Colocation suits predictable workloads and control requirements; the cloud brings elasticity and pay-as-you-go billing. A hybrid approach combines both.
How and when should you migrate to a Moroccan data center?
The Open Vista data center in Morocco (Rabat) has been announced and will open soon: it cannot be ordered yet. In the meantime, your environments are hosted in our New York (United States) data center. As soon as it opens, Open Vista will manage your migration to Morocco with no service interruption: inventory, planning, cutover, validation, then continuous monitoring. Customers who need data sovereignty in Morocco can request this migration at launch.
