OVH – we host you “On Vous Héberge”
Sounds like “Ahn ne vouz he-bear-zhe”
OVH is the largest hosting provider you have never heard of.
While you may have not heard of it, OVH is the third largest cloud provider in the world.
The link at the bottom is to the Netcraft report that shows the ranking of Service providers around the world.
Details on DC Builds
Building own servers, from the racks, to the housing, to the servers themselves
With OVH you get access to almost any type of infrastructure you will need. If you are like most businesses you have a large number of Vmware based VMs running on-prem. OVH’s private cloud is based on Vmware’s SDDC stack and with the acquisition of vCloud Air, connecting your on-prem to a private cloud has never been easier.
If you are looking for public cloud burstability OVH has you covered with Public Cloud provided and run on Openstack.
But let’s say you have a workload that has specific requirements and you want access to all parts of the software stack. OVH has Bare Metal servers for you.
OVH not only provides differing product platforms to address specific project needs of customers, we also allow the integration of these resources to allow for easy setup and communication between these platforms with our vRack product.
A customer may have a piece of each of these all combined into a single solution that suites their needs.
Private cloud – vSphere SDDC allowing ease of management by leveraging the same tools you’re used to from VMware.
Public Cloud – Get virtualized machines at a per hour/minute cost by leveraging OVH’s public cloud built with Openstack.
Dedicated Servers – Have full control of every aspect of your environment by starting from bare metal. Have root and BIOs level access to your hardware, and install what you want.
Elaborate in detail on each of these:
Initial setup, order process, provisioning process, initial testing
HW Maintenance, (mainly a co-lo related)
Replacement HW (Mainly co-lo related)
People – needing additional resources near the cloud environment if hardware is something you have access to in a Co-lo. Needing people to learn new and different UI’s, systems, API’s, CLI’s. Or hiring someone to fit the need which can be costly.
Employees hired near co-lo space will need to coordinate with local team for any project planning which may be difficult to manage.
Travel, if you don’t hire new resources near the co-lo space, you’ll need employees capable of travel.

We’ll start with the network. Helping with latency, throughput,
Owning its own Fiber, OVH has built a network backbone connecting each of their DC’s together. Allowing for high throughput between DC’s and reduced latency due to a direct path between DC’s.
This is a global network that spans continents as well.
The summation of internet connections equaling 11TBps worth of throughput.
These benefits can be passed on to your on-premise environment as well with the expansive list of POPs available. You can bring your own private connection to access your cloud environments through this backbone.

Riding on our own private backbone we have a network implementation we refer to as vRack. Using VXLAN aware physical networking components, we’re able to interconnect your environments together and allow communication between your workloads within the same VLAN segments. This is regardless of type of solution as well. Open stack public cloud, connected to Vmware SDDC Private cloud, connected to your own custom bare metal solutions. This type of configuration is completely accessible and configurable from the customer side. No need to open a support case to request to configure connectivity between your OVH DC’s and solutions.
With vRack connect, you can also take advantage of these same benefits and bring your local VLAN’s to the cloud. Sharing network space simplifies configurations from a networking perspective at the customer level. Let us deal with the complicated configuration between sites, expensive hardware, and maintenance.
