The expertise of OVH
OVH has been designing and building its own datacenters since 2003. Over 150,000 servers are hosted in 20 datacenters across 5 different international locations (1 in Canada, 4 in Europe).
Simplified procedures
These days, a datacenter is much more than simply a white room with cable trays and air conditioning. An efficient datacenter is a sophisticated structure that meets specific requirements; it must facilitate server installation and maintenance, while optimizing energy efficiency.
No suspended ceilings
At the OVH datacenters, you won't find any of the suspended ceilings normally used to transport cables and air conditioning. The cable trays are located above the servers and can be accessed directly. What's more, the cube-shaped design of the datacenter allows fresh air to reach the front of the servers directly, without any loss of cooling system flow.
No closed racks
The casings of our servers have been specially designed to optimize all installation and maintenance operations. All cabling and connection points are located on one side and all servers slide open, providing easy access to the components.
What's more, the servers are fitted in chassis which can hold up to 36 servers, so adding new machines simply means joining these chassis together, which keeps installation time down to a minimum.
OVH thus has the capacity to manufacture and install over 300 physical servers a day, coming from our in-house assembly lines in France and Canada. It's the secret to delivering servers within minutes!
Security above all
OVH datacenters are strictly for its own usage. The servers can be physically accessed only by authorized employees. Our datacenters are protected 24/7 by a security badge control system, video surveillance and on site security personnel. The rooms are also equipped with smoke detection systems. Our technical teams are constantly on site and ready to intervene the minute a fault is detected on a server.
