OVHcloud

In October 2016, OVH raised $250 million in order to raise further international expansion.[10] This funding round valued OVH at over US$1 billion. In the fiscal year of 2016, OVH reportedly had around $343 million in revenue. In 2018 OVH announced its five-year plans to triple investment starting in 2021. Which represent between 4.6 and $8.1 billion U.S. dollars (4 to 7 billion euros).[11]

In October 2021, OVHcloud filed its IPO and is listed on the Euronext Paris, the Paris Stock Exchange[12] as OVH. In December 2021, OVHcloud became part of the Paris SBF120 index.[13]

As of 2021, OVH had 30 data centers in 19 countries hosting 300,000 servers.[14][15] The company offers localized services such as customer service offices in many European countries, as well as in North America, Africa, and Singapore.[16] As of 2019, OVH is considered one of the largest cloud computing providers in the world, with over a million customers and one of the largest OpenStack deployments in the world,[17] and a network capacity totaling over 20Tbps

As of 2017, OVH was known for its offering of email hosting service,[18] considered one of the largest in the world,[19] in addition to its general Internet hosting services.

OVH uses in-house design and manufacturing, including custom-made servers (based on standard components) and a modular shipping container architecture. In 2019, the Canadian data center (Beauharnois, Quebec) was considered a leading example of the OVH model.[20]

As of 2016, OVH was one of the sponsors for Let's Encrypt, a free TLS encryption service,[21][22] and OVH's hardware supplier is Super Micro Computer Inc.[23]

In March 2021, OVH suffered a large fire at its datacenter in Strasbourg, France.[24] SBG2 had been built in 2016 with a capacity of 30 thousand physical servers.[25] SBG2 was declared a total loss, with early reports indicating damage to SBG1, and services across all four Strasbourg locations experiencing disruptions.[26] The company's chairman, Octave Klaba, took to Twitter to confirm that all its staff were safe.[27] SBG1 was damaged partially while SBG4 remained intact, and SBG3 was intact but without power, though the servers at the latter sites were taken offline temporarily.[28][27]

In September 2021, the company filed a report[29] with the Autorité des marchés financiers documenting the estimated damage at about €105 million.[30]

In October 2021, the company had a worldwide outage across all their networks due to a human error.[31]

In December 2010, French Gizmodo edition revealed that WikiLeaks selected OVH as its new hosting provider, following Amazon's refusal to host it.[32][33][34] On December 3, the growing controversy prompted Eric Besson, France's Industry Minister, to inquire about legal ways to prohibit this hosting in France. The attempt failed. On December 6, 2010, a judge ruled that there was no need for OVH to cease hosting WikiLeaks.[35] The case was rejected on the grounds that such a case required an adversarial hearing.[36]

In January 2019, the magazine WebsitePlanet uncovered client-side vulnerability in some of the largest hosting companies in the world: Bluehost, DreamHost, HostGator, iPage, and OVH.[37]
