OVHcloud is a French cloud and hosting company that designs, builds, and runs its own data centers rather than leasing all its space from third parties — as of 2025 it says it operates 46 data centers across roughly 10 countries on four continents, supporting public cloud, private (VMware-based) cloud, bare-metal dedicated servers, web hosting, and colocation for more than 1.6 million customers in over 140 countries. Its defining differentiator is vertical integration: OVHcloud manufactures most of its own servers, builds its own facilities (rather than only renting from wholesale operators), runs a proprietary global fiber backbone, and has used an in-house closed-loop water-cooling system since 2003 that it credits with keeping power usage efficiency far below the industry average. Founded in 1999 by Octave Klaba in Roubaix, France, the company grew its flagship Gravelines campus (built on a former aluminum warehouse site) into one of Europe’s largest data center campuses, and it has more recently pushed into GPU-based AI compute — offering NVIDIA A100, H100, H200, L40S, L4 and A10 instances, DGX H100 systems for select customers, and, as of late 2025, a SambaNova-powered low-latency inferencing service starting from its French regions.
OVHcloud operates as a cloud provider and colocation provider, with facilities at the following locations:
FACILITY OPERATOR
OVHcloud's AI push centers on its French data centers (notably the Gravelines and Roubaix campuses), where it has rolled out NVIDIA A100, H100, H200, L40S, L4 and A10 GPU instances and made NVIDIA DGX H100 systems available to select customers. In late 2025 it added a SambaNova-powered inferencing service using SambaNova's Reconfigurable Dataflow Units (SambaRack SN40-16 units running at roughly 10kW average power), which the company said would launch first from its French regions before expanding elsewhere in Europe. All of this runs on top of OVHcloud's long-standing proprietary water-cooling system, which the company has used since 2003 to keep facility power usage efficiency low even as it adds dense GPU compute.
Yes. OVHcloud offers NVIDIA A100, H100, H200, L40S, L4 and A10 GPU instances and bare-metal AI servers across its Public Cloud, and as of late 2025 it launched a SambaNova-powered inferencing service (AI Endpoints, using SambaNova's Reconfigurable Dataflow Units) that the company said would first be available from regions located in France, with expansion to other European countries planned.
Both, but the company emphasizes that it builds and operates most of its own facilities — its own materials describe it as "the sole operator" of its data centers for physical security purposes — while industry press notes OVHcloud also leases space in some markets, such as its newer German region.
OVHcloud was founded in 1999 by Octave Klaba and is headquartered in Roubaix, France, which was also the site of its first data centers before the company expanded to Gravelines and dozens of other locations worldwide.
As of company statements from 2025-2026, OVHcloud manages 46 data centers across 4 continents, with its own site listing operating countries including France, Canada, the United States, Australia, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, Italy, Singapore, and India.
OVHcloud is classified as a colocation provider among other services it offers — we can't confirm which specific facilities provide colocation services. Please contact OVHcloud directly to confirm colocation availability.
