The launch of the Power Upgrade is the tip of the Iceberg
The release of the Power Upgrade is a major momentum for the company, but that’s not all we are working on. At all.
During our keynote, we also promised to make Shadow available to more users, and we delivered: our services are now available to more than 120 million additional users, as Austria, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, and Italy joined the #TeamShadow these past few weeks, which will all benefit from the Power Upgrade on October 26th as well. Next up, Spain will join the adventure in the upcoming weeks.
Behind the scenes, a lot of work is being done too. We are currently finalizing two complete migrations: our back-end infrastructure is being migrated to our new in-house technology platform (the Core Business Platform), for more security, more features and a completely revamped customer interface; in the meantime, we have been physically migrating all our servers around the world to OVHcloud infrastructures for more power efficient and environmentally responsible process.
“It has been 3 years since we last proposed a new configuration due to component shortages and other issues. The release of the Power Upgrade is the symbol of the new chapter for SHADOW, that we ignited last year: offering new products, new features and meeting all the expectations of our customers. More importantly, we delivered what we announced back in May,” said Eric Sèle, CEO of SHADOW. “We are particularly proud and excited about it all and can’t wait for customers to tell us what they think about the Power Upgrade.”
“I'm proud of all the work the teams at SHADOW have achieved. So much has happened since we joined the project! SHADOW is moving forward and what we are delivering here is just the beginning of everything we aim to accomplish. Can't wait for what’s coming next!”, added Octave Klaba, Shadow’s Chairman.
