OVHcloud

OVHcloud (legally OVH Groupe SA) is Europe's leading cloud provider, founded in 1999 by Octave Klaba in Roubaix, France. What started as a budget web hosting company with borrowed money has grown into one of the world's largest cloud infrastructure providers - operating 450,000+ servers across 46 data centres on 4 continents, serving 1.6 million customers in over 140 countries.

OVHcloud's defining advantage is vertical integration. The company designs its own servers, builds and owns all its data centres, and operates its own global fibre-optic backbone - a model that gives it exceptional cost control and the ability to offer some of the most competitive pricing in the global market. Its proprietary water-cooling technology (developed in 2003) gives it an unusually low PUE, making it one of the greenest large-scale cloud providers.

For Indian customers, OVHcloud launched its first Mumbai data centre in March 2023, building on a Mumbai Point of Presence it had operated since 2020. This gives Indian users access to OVHcloud's full product range - VPS, Public Cloud, Managed Kubernetes, GPU instances (H100, A100), Bare Metal servers, and Hosted Private Cloud - from Indian infrastructure, with lower latency and better compliance posture than routing to European or US regions.

OVHcloud is the natural choice for Indian teams that need a globally recognised European provider with local India presence - particularly for workloads involving European data partners, GDPR compliance, or teams that want the breadth of a global hyperscaler at a fraction of AWS/GCP pricing. Its open-source philosophy (OpenStack for Public Cloud, VMware/Nutanix for Private Cloud) also makes it attractive to teams avoiding vendor lock-in.
