OVHcloud Expands Its European Leadership in Cloud Services
Roubaix – As part of the European Digital Sovereignty Summit, OVHcloud, a prominent player in cloud technology, is proud to announce its latest achievement: the launch of a 3-AZ region in Berlin, Germany. This development marks the third 3-AZ cloud region for OVHcloud in Europe, following its successful implementations in France and Italy. This strategic initiative reinforces OVHcloud's commitment to provide unmatched security, resilience, and high availability to its clientele across the continent.
Creating a Secure Digital Landscape
European companies and public organizations face increasing demands for security and compliance, especially in sectors that are heavily regulated, such as finance, energy, and defense. OVHcloud is steadfast in meeting these challenges by offering over 80 diverse products across its 20 data centers in Europe. Highlighting its role as a pioneer, OVHcloud was the first European provider to introduce multi-zone high availability with its 3-AZ regions in Paris and Milan, and now, with the Berlin deployment, it is set to further enhance its offerings.
Supporting European Digital Sovereignty
According to Octave Klaba, the founder and CEO of OVHcloud, "Our new 3-AZ region in Berlin is pivotal for bolstering the security and resilience of European digital infrastructures. This addition underscores our ambition to support all sectors of the economy, regardless of size or nature. True European digital sovereignty is achieved not by isolated heroes but by collaborative, systemic players on an international stage." Since OVHcloud's establishment in Germany in 2005, it has operated two data centers in the country, cementing its status as a trusted resource for both public and private organizations, including established partners like Commerz Real, ITSC, the Bundesagentur für Arbeit, and the Bundespolizei.
Understanding the 3-AZ Model
OVHcloud’s 3-AZ model is specifically tailored for mission-critical applications that demand maximum resilience and availability. This innovative structure consists of three distinct Availability Zones, each housing data centers strategically located a few dozen kilometers apart. These zones operate independently, with unique power supplies and network connections, ensuring minimal latency and optimal security. It also facilitates continuous service operations, which is particularly essential for sectors focused on disaster recovery, such as finance, healthcare, and public services.
A Strategic Focus on Future Developments
The deployment of additional 3-AZ regions is a core aspect of OVHcloud's strategy to support the digital transformation of the economy. The company is committed to expanding its robust cloud infrastructures across Europe, with plans for future regions in various cities. This forward-looking approach not only improves regional cloud services but also promotes a more interconnected and resilient digital economy.
