Growth and Leadership
With 1.6 million customers and a turnover close to €1 billion in 2024, OVHcloud has consolidated its position as a key player in the global cloud market.

This region will offer a combination of IaaS and PaaS products with a higher level of resilience. Additionally, the company plans to establish five additional 3-AZ regions in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific.
