When Best of Best is Still Not Enough

The words from the world’s number one or three, depending on who says what when.

Security is our priority. The trust that our customers and partners place in us is paramount. Security is at the core of our focus and attention, at every level of our organization and infrastructure…., we put security at the forefront of our activities in our 31 datacenters, as well as in the design of our services in the 130 countries where they are available.

The protection of our customer data is vital.  We invest in the highest levels of security and adopt industry best practices to meet compliance and certification standards. 

Innovation is at the heart of OVHcloud.  Challenging the status quo is our thing.  Understanding the latest ways customers are using our technology, working with the technical community, and co-developing with our partners are just a few examples of the inputs.  We also closely examine each step of our development cycle to find new ways to increase performance, capacity, and agility. 

We are proud to produce our own servers and operate manufacturing facilities in Europe and North America.  For over 20 years, we have been building the best-in-class infrastructure. 

With our own dedicated 20Tbps fiber-optic network capacity, 31 data centers, and an additional 34 points of presence, we are well able to handle growing volumes of data.  Along with links being at least doubled at every routing point, we build our infrastructure to optimize for stability, redundancy and availability.   Real-time status, ping testing, and anti-DDoS—all to ensure you stay online.

We design, build and operate our own data centers. Each component is carefully selected, each step to build is thoroughly evaluated — from our location selection to choice of hardware components, each is vetted to solve the next generation of challenges.  We work closely with our technology providers to solve for stability, performance, and efficiency.  We have 31 global data centers…and more to come.

I read all the above description in awe of what human is capable to achieve. If human beings could do such things, what would not be possible for them to do?

On the flip side, one of the data centers burned down in a night, and they could not save it, let alone save the people that put their trust and data on them. It reminds me to take with a pinch of salt, all that we’re proud about. At the end of the day, probably our ivory tower is just like a sand castle that crumble under the wave of the sea.
