OVHcloud positioned as a ‘Major Player’ in the new IDC MarketScape report

A global cloud player and the European Cloud leader, OVHcloud, has been positioned in the Major Players Category in the IDC European Public Cloud Infrastructure as a Service 2024 Vendor Assessment. The IDC MarketScape report evaluated 19 companies in Europe assessing their strategies and capabilities.

OVHcloud was named a ‘Major Player’ two years ago in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Public Cloud Infrastructure as a Service 2022 Vendor Assessment (being the only European-headquarter player evaluated). OVHcloud believes the IDC MarketScape: European Public Cloud Infrastructure as a Service 2024 today confirms the Group’s foothold on the European market.

“Digital sovereignty is one of OVHcloud’s major strengths, and the vendor can apply this to all levels of sovereignty (data, technical, and operations),” said the IDC MarketScape report.

The IDC Marketscape report also noted OVHcloud’s sustainability efforts.

“Since 2003, it has been using proprietary water-cooling technology to cool its servers, thus removing the need to operate its data centres using air conditioning. OVHcloud also uniquely manufactures, disassembles, and upcycles its own servers,” found the report.

Report Deems OVHcloud an Attractive ‘One-stop Shop’

Regarding OVHcloud product offering, the latest IDC MarketScape study noted ‘With adjacent service offerings such as dedicated private servers, web hosting, and hosted private clouds, the firm is potentially an attractive one-stop shop for organisations setting out on their cloud migrations’.

“OVHcloud’s portfolio features a variety of IaaS offerings, such as a VMware-based bare-metal private cloud service as well as a range of public cloud solutions,” added the report.

OVHcloud continued investments in adding new services higher in the software stack of its Public Cloud are also recognised, with the report adding that  ‘OVHcloud has made investments in building out software services higher up the stack in areas such as AI/ML, databases, and container orchestration’.

Associate Vice President of Cloud Research, Europe at IDC, Carla Arend, said OVHcloud has a unique position as a home-grown IaaS provider in Europe.

“The French company has an international footprint and is particularly notable in the IaaS market for its digital sovereignty and sustainability initiatives,” added Arend.

CEO at OVHCloud, Michel Paulin, was pleased that OVHcloud was named a Major Player by the IDC MarketScape European Public Cloud Infrastructure as a Service 2024.

“We believe this report is further proof of our international expansion and encourages us to accelerate our efforts in bringing our Public Cloud services to even more customers, meeting their business needs while spearheading a trusted and sustainable cloud,” said Paulin.
