Introduction
A model of success
■■
A galaxy of services
OVH.com offers a diverse selection of services for web hosting
and overall Internet presence. The distinguishing feature of the
company is that we have control over every step of the product’s
life-cycle: we design and manufacture our own servers, we manage
and maintain our data centers, we follow up with each client… OVH
is also backed by an impressive network of partners who work
closely with the users and help them through all of their IT projects
(installation, configuration, security, maintenance, training, etc.).
In early 2014, OVH.com launched new lines of dedicated servers,
divided in two brands: “So you Start” and “Kimsufi”. We also
redesigned our original brand. This reorganization was prompted
by a desire to distinctly address each type of user.

www.ovh.com | Media Kit
The story of OVH.com is intertwined
with that of a Polish family arriving in
France in 1991. Henryk and Haline
Klaba, both engineers from the
Warsaw University of Technology, had
little money, but plenty of drive.
A few years later in 1999, their two
sons Octave and Miroslaw began
their engineering studies in France. By
then, the Internet was booming and
Octave, the older of the two, decided
to put his undeniable computer skills
to good use. He recognized the roaring
demand for hosting services and
founded OVH.com.
Through innovation, and with the
support of his family, OVH.com
rapidly took off. With the collective
knowledge of each member of the
tribe, the growth of the company
was immediate. In order to keep
up with the enterprise’s expansion,
the Klaba family acquired a large
property in Northern France. The
land now extends over four acres and
still houses OVH’s corporate offices,
along with its first data centers. The
company quickly grew and its profits
were immediately reinvested into its
activities.

■■
Global Scope
Fifteen years later, OVH.com has earned its place as the #1
Internet hosting provider - not only in France but in all of Europe
- and the third largest hosting provider in the world*.
With an international customer base in 16 countries and around
800 of the best collaborators in the business, OVH.com’s
knowledge and experience now extends over three continents.
Following the development of subsidiaries on the European
and African continents, the hosting provider settled in North
America in 2011 where the « BHS » datacenter was built, south
of Montreal, Canada. With a capacity of over 360,000 servers,
« BHS » will the the largest in the world upon completion.
Working in a field that is constantly evolving means that reactivity
and challenging established ideas are our main focus. As we strive
to stay ahead of the latest technological innovations, OVH.com
aggressively launches new offers to provide solutions to the everevolving technological challenges faced by our clients. Thanks
to the valuable feedback provided by our clients, OVH is able to
develop products and services to meet global demands. Based
on a strong local identity mixed with the practices and values
that have contributed to its success, the company encourages
each subsidiary to hire top local talent in order to adapt to each
market’s conditions and cultural context.

Our strengths
Our strengths
■■
Vast and Reliable Network
With such a grasp of the international market, OVH.com has built an infrastructure that can flawlessly provide first-class services
to its customers no matter where they are in the world. Having deployed our own optic fiber network gives OVH.com a unique
advantage on the hosting provider market by allowing for a bandwidth of 3,000 Gbps in Europe and, in due time, 8,000 Gbps in North
America. OVH.com can proudly offer all of this while connecting more than 33 peering points over three continents and keeping
24/7/365 operational maintenance.
Having traffic-exchange arrangements with other Internet service providers (ISPs) around the world with multiple exchange points
allows OVH.com to instantly transfer our traffic onto a partner’s infrastructure in the event of a technical incident or traffic congestion.
Our peering policy gives the Internet hosting company the possibility to connect directly with its customers’ Internet service providers,
resulting in low latency when accessing content hosted within OVH.com’s infrastructure.
For added security, the company also built a fully redundant global network with multiple security loops, eliminating the risk of
potential malfunction.

Cutting-Edge Technology
Innovation is part of OVH.com’s very DNA. The company
maintains its focus on technology that will optimize each service
they are developing and lead it to offer the latest products
available to its customers, for example by installing the most
powerful processors in its servers.
OVH.com maintains complete control over the products’ lifecycle: from the assembly of our own servers to the design and
maintenance of data centers around the world. This allows
OVH.com to provide seamless customer service and dedicated
server solutions that combine flexibility with total control at a
competitive price.

Our strengths
■■
Green Solutions
Constant R&D efforts have considerably lessened OVH.com’s environmental impact over the years. In 2004, OVH.com created and
developed an exclusive liquid cooling system for its servers. By dissipating 70% of the heat produced by the processors, this technique
made it possible for the Internet hosting company to cut its energy costs in half. A smaller amount of air conditioning, or even a simple
ventilation system, is therefore enough to expel the remaining 30% of the heat.
Continuous efforts to reduce the energy consumption of our data centers keep paying off. OVH.com facilities have a Power Usage
Effectiveness (PUE) ratio between 1 and 1.2. Simply put, for a 100-watt server to work, OVH.com uses between 100 and 120 watts,
thus using half the energy of the average datacenter. Lower energy consumption reflects positively not only on the environment, but
also on prices. Indeed, a smaller carbon footprint means lower costs and better rates for customers.
The company’s dedication to environmentally friendly practices does not stop there. OVH.com has continued to improve the air
conditioning systems used to cool its server rooms to the extent that, in 2011, we completely abolished air conditioning in RBX 4. In
this next-generation data center, air conditioning has been replaced by a green and innovative ventilation system, the result of many
years of research and development. Its performance is optimal, and its environmental impact very limited. The BHS datacenter, built
in 2011 in Canada, was designed with the same technology but on a greater scale, and represents the quintessence of all these years
of research.

Autonomous Development
A family business, the company remains independently owned,
and has developed without bank loans, financing, or government
assistance. It chooses to reinvest all of its profits in order to grow
faster while offering lower cost solutions than its competitors. Still
operating on the same family principles from which it was built
from the ground up, OVH.com offers an unsurpassed standard
for conducting business, as well as an unwavering commitment
to customer satisfaction.

Virtual Private Servers (VPS)
VPS are an intermediary between web hosting and autonomous management of a server, and offer the perfect compromise between
the freedom offered by dedicated servers and the flexibility of virtualization. Supported by OVH.com’s internal dedicated Cloud
infrastructure, the VPS work on a dynamic platform that can adjust to a rise in demand and, thanks to virtualisation, each platform is
completely isolated from one another. More importantly, the environment is entirely administered by the client, who has access to a
wide range of operating systems and pre-installed web applications that they can use and manage at their own will.

OVH.com Products & Services
Dedicated
Whether physical, virtual, or hybrid, dedicated
infrastructures are the most reliable tools for
our clients’ data and applications.
Ready to use within seconds and infinitely
combinable, these servers and/or Cloud
resources are hosted in data centers managed
and maintained by OVH.com, which provides
flawless service quality and transparent data
location.
■■
Dedicated servers
As soon as the traffic on a website becomes too significant, switching from web hosting to a dedicated server (one server for a site)
is essential. The customer can then work on a platform that can support their growth, with the right tools. OVH.com’s wide range of
products meets the needs of the most demanding companies and the most critical individuals. Clients across the globe are swayed
by the ease with which OVH’s dedicated servers are deployed, our follow-up options and our many dedicated server related services
(fail-over IP, load balancing, FTP backup, etc.). Moreover, through the use of the latest generation of components, OVH.com remains
a leader in technological innovation.
■■
Dedicated Cloud
Access to a complete data center within minutes? With OVH.com’s Dedicated Cloud offer, it is possible. From our personal vSphere or
vCloud from VMware client interface, professionals can build their own virtualized infrastructure quite easily. As the name suggests,
every single component of a Dedicated Cloud is exclusive to its user, from the RAM and the CPU to the storage disks and the network.
It is therefore an ideal solution for businesses whose datacenter is full; they do not have to wait months to build new hosting rooms
and can focus on what is truly important, their added value.
■■
Content Delivery Network (CDN)
This service greatly reduces the delay time between a user’s action and their access to a website’s content. The CDN uses OVH.com’s
network to cache content in 20 points of presence around the world, so when a user wants to access a client’s content, the Internet
will look for the closest CDN point to get the shortest delay time. The client decides which pages will be cached on the CDN and for
how long, because they are the manager of their configuration. Other advantages include lower loading time and better references on
search engines, which are sensitive to better latency.
■■
Big Data
Nowadays, companies have to deal with very large quantities of information, and traditional databases become inadequate to store
and manage such flow. The Big Data solution by OVH.com can tackle these new challenges and offer real time analysis of the client’s
business, a study of transaction data, a follow-up on the client’s e-reputation, tools against fraud… These offers are built on clusters
of pre-installed servers that are optimized and equipped with the necessary tools to provide a turnkey infrastructure ready to collect
and analyze a large quantity of data.
■■
High Performance Computing (HPC)
High Performance Computing is used to solve complex problems in record time and is therefore essential in many fields, such as science,
engineering, medicine, cinema and more. For instance, it can make a model of the behavior of an engine in a car or of a protein in a drug.
Such solutions are usually difficult to deploy because the infrastructures needed require the right amount of space, high level of material
resources, a large power capacity, as well as acute technical knowledge. However, OVH’s HPC offers democratise supercomputing by
delivering turnkey HPC platforms.

Press Release
Innovation OVH.com: Dedicated servers with
a 40 Gbps connection on Hadoop and OpenStack Swift
MONTREAL, CANADA - MAY 5 TH, 2014 – The third worldwide Internet hosting provider, and leader
in Europe*, OVH.com now offers dedicated servers with a 40 Gbps connection, a first on the worldwide
market. This innovation leads to an evolution of datacenters’ networks, which are now equipped
for 40 and 100 Gbps connections.
Six years ago, OVH.com became the first hosting provider to supply dedicated servers
connected to a 10 Gbps network in Europe. The company is still a pioneer today, as it
now offers the first servers with a 40 Gbps connection all over the world. Available
on the “Big Data” and “Storage” lines, the 40 Gbps connection fastens data exchanges
between servers through the vRack, a private network.
The 10 Gbps connection remains a standard on our public network, designed for
exchanges between the servers and the Internet. However, over the course of the
past three years, needs have evolved, so the clients do not only manage one or two
servers for a website, but they administer entire infrastructures of servers synched
together. With the vRack, OVH.com offers a large private network allowing connectivity
between dedicated servers and the Dedicated Cloud. The hosting provider stands out
on the market by extending the vRack to its 15 datacenters, including across North
America and Europe.
OVH.com customers have put in place Hadoop and OpenStack Swift clusters with
data volumes that can go over 100 Pb and are often configured across multiple
datacenters. The need for 40 Gbps comes into play at this point. These horizontal
networks across datacenters are forced to work on a smart combination of the 40
and 100 Gbps connections, depending on the delay time that separates the servers.
One of the first customers to use the servers on the 40 Gbps connection is hubiC, the
Cloud storage service of OVH.com. In fact, the hosting provider built the Storage line
servers based on its OpenStack Swift experience. Each FS-144T server managed by
hubiC is, therefore, connected on the 10 Gbps public network and the 40 Gbps vRack.
In the case of a substitution of a defective hard drive, the 40 Gbps connection divides
by 11 the synchronization time of the data on the servers.

of transferred data per month for its two types of offer: VPS Classic and VPS Cloud. This
amount of data is largely above the usage of more than 99% of OVH.com’s clients, so a

security. Moreover, the VPS Cloud line built on VMware technology displays a SLA and
availability of 99.99%. Designed to fit in a complex architecture, VPS Cloud is compatible
to the IP load-balancing offer that allows a distribution of the load between different
machines, which increases resistance to failures.

reliable, fast
and easy
