Our OVHcloud Hosted Private Cloud solutions are based on market leading solutions (OVHcloud is a verified VMware cloud provider) and powered by latest hardware technologies (OVHcloud designs and build its own servers and datacenters).

Our main objective is therefore to provide performant (in terms of compute, storage and network), resilient, secured and easy-to-manage solutions to our customers with full price predictability.

For instance on Storage capabilities, a key requirement for Cloud customers and a fundamental brick of our offering, OVHcloud offers a full range of options from NFS to full NVMe hyperconverged storage with the vSAN technology which also demonstrates the best price/performance ratio observed on the market. 

Our offering is also built around a multi-product approach which provides customers the ability to mix products across the OVHcloud universes and build fully customizable solutions tailored to customers specific needs.
