OVHcloud

The company operates an infrastructure‑as‑a‑service and platform‑as‑a‑service business model. It designs, operates and leases access to its own data centres, networks and server hardware, then sells virtualised and dedicated compute, storage and networking resources, plus managed platforms (Kubernetes, databases, analytics/AI) on top. Value is created by abstracting hardware complexity, providing standardised infrastructure building blocks, and offering options for data sovereignty and hosted private cloud. It further creates value through turnkey private cloud stacks (e.g. Nutanix‑based), security features (e.g. DDoS protection, DRM via acquisitions) and integrations that allow enterprises and developers to deploy applications and data workloads efficiently. The firm scales through multi‑tenant infrastructure, global points of presence and partner ecosystems, monetising long‑lived customer workloads and migrations from on‑premise IT to the cloud.

OVH Groupe S.A. (OVHcloud) is a France‑based cloud infrastructure provider offering public cloud, virtual private servers, dedicated (bare‑metal) servers, hosted private cloud and shared web hosting. It competes with hyperscalers and regional providers by supplying infrastructure‑as‑a‑service and platform‑as‑a‑service, with options for data residency and European hosting. The company has expanded through acquisitions in analytics, edge computing, hyperconverged infrastructure and security/DRM, and is listed on Euronext Paris.

Revenue is generated from usage‑based and subscription contracts for compute, storage, networking and managed platforms, primarily sold to developers, SMEs and enterprises building web, data and AI workloads, as well as agencies and site owners needing VPS or shared hosting. Additional value comes from managed private cloud offerings, partner solutions (e.g. Nutanix‑powered private cloud) and professional support, with a focus on transparent, predictable pricing compared with other cloud providers.
