Cambridge, ON, June 17, 2024 – OVHcloud, a global cloud player with a strong presence in Canada, is deploying Hosted Private Cloud to its growing portfolio of cloud solutions available in its new data centre, located in the Toronto area. This added solution addresses the demanding needs of Canadian organizations aiming to enhance their infrastructure in a trusted cloud environment.

Leveraging VMware by Broadcom, the Private Cloud solution combines top-tier virtualization with OVHcloud’s dedicated infrastructure. As a Pinnacle tier partner in the Broadcom Advantage Partner Program within Canada, OVHcloud will help organizations modernize infrastructure with optimal TCO while ensuring enterprise-grade resiliency and security. Hosted Private Cloud supports data centre migration, application modernization, backup, and disaster recovery in a seamless package. Features include host and storage packages, network security with VMware NSX, unlimited traffic on private and public connectivity, data encryption, and backup and disaster recovery functionalities via Veeam and Zerto, offering companies an enhanced level of resilience within a 100% private environment.

OVHcloud customers can now achieve superior redundancy for their workloads by utilizing two Canadian data centres, in Beauharnois (Quebec) and Cambridge (Ontario). Managed Veeam Backup solution automates backups, off-site replications and ensures easy recovery for VMs, while Zerto facilitates robust replication strategies across both sites, providing a resilient disaster recovery solution with minimal downtime and enhanced data protection. This dual-site capability highlights OVHcloud’s dedication to delivering reliable, high-performance cloud solutions tailored to Canadian organizations. Additionally, OVHcloud’s ability to deploy and control its own fibre optic allows Hosted Private Cloud infrastructure in both Canadian data centres to interconnect via the vRack private network at no additional cost with unlimited traffic, high availability and performance.

Hosted Private Cloud from eco-friendly data centres
