OVHcloud

Business Profile

Core Value Proposition

OVHcloud provides cloud computing, web hosting, and infrastructure services with an open, reversible cloud and strong price-performance.

Target Customer

Developers, IT teams, startups, small and medium businesses, enterprises, and public sector organizations seeking scalable cloud infrastructure and hosting solutions.

Key Differentiator

Open and reversible cloud with no bandwidth cost, hybrid by design, ownership of hardware and data, Eco-friendly operations (low water usage, low landfill goals, 100% low-carbon energy by 2025), and globally distributed datacenters with a long track record of innovation and self-managed infrastructure.

Implementation Timeline

Instant scalability for many services (e.g., VPS offering emphasizes instant scalability; broad provisioning across products enables rapid value realization).

Pain Points

1Need for cost-effective, high-performance cloud infrastructure with predictable pricing.
2Desire for data sovereignty and control, compliance, and governance across regions.
3Requirement for hybrid, multi-product solutions (bare metal, virtualized, public cloud, storage, networking) that can integrate across environments.

Key Features

1Bare Metal & VPS and Dedicated Servers with diverse performance tiers
2Public Cloud, Compute (VMs, GPUs), and Local Zone deployments for closer proximity to users
3Storage & Backup (Block Storage, Object Storage, Cold Archive, NetApp-based storage options)
4Networking (vRack private networks, Load Balancer, BYOIP, Private and public networking, Global connectivity)
5Containers & Orchestration (Managed Kubernetes, Rancher support, Private Registry)
6Databases (MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Cassandra) and Analytics/Data Platform offerings
7AI & Machine Learning (Notebooks, AI endpoints, AI training/deploy), Quantum Computing foundations
8Identity, Security & Operations (IAM, Logs, Service Logs, Compliance – SecNumCloud, ISO, PCI, HIPAA readiness)
9Ecosystem & Partnerships (VMware, Nutanix, HYCU, Veeam, Open Trusted Cloud, Startup/Partner programs)
