OVH

Global cloud provider with European roots offering bare metal, virtual servers, public cloud, and web hosting. Delivers compute, managed Kubernetes, managed databases, object and block storage, plus domain registration and shared hosting for a full spectrum of workloads from hobby projects to enterprise deployments.

OVHcloud serves over 1.6 million customers with 46 datacenters across four continents and 100 Tbit/s of global network capacity. Differentiates through reversibility and open interoperability: no egress fees for data recovery, standards-based APIs, and the ability to move workloads without lock-in. Combines public cloud, private cloud, bare metal, and web hosting in hybrid setups. Operates its own datacenters and designs its own servers for cost control and sustainability: PUE of 1.24, water-efficient cooling, and refurbished server lifecycles.

Key capabilities:

• Bare metal servers: AMD EPYC and Ryzen, configurable RAM and NVMe, suited for HPC and high-intensity workloads
• Public cloud: compute instances (general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized), S3-compatible object storage, block storage
• Managed Kubernetes across multiple regions with 99.99% SLA availability zones
• Managed databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, ClickHouse
• VPS and web hosting with one-click WordPress, PrestaShop, Drupal, Joomla
• Terraform provider and REST API for infrastructure-as-code and automation

Developers and SMBs run web apps, APIs, and microservices without hyperscaler complexity. Enterprises use hybrid setups with VMware private cloud and disaster recovery. Data-sensitive workloads benefit from EU datacenter locations and strong data sovereignty controls. Integration with Terraform, CDS (OVH Continuous Delivery), and standard DevOps tooling supports automated deployment pipelines.
