"To us, this positioning is the recognition of in-depth work: building a comprehensive, high-performance AI infrastructure. We believe, being the only European player positioned as a Challenger in this Magic Quadrant™ reflects the strength of our execution in a market dominated by hyperscalers.
Our customers find with us what they are looking for first and foremost when it comes to AI: computing power, predictable and transparent pricing, and the certainty of retaining control over their data and their models.
We are continuing on this path with ongoing investment in GPUs, an inference offering built on open models, and targeted acquisitions such as DragonLLM and Gladia to strengthen our technology base all in support of profitable growth. The goal remains the same: to make AI accessible, open, and sovereign."
Our AI commitments
Sovereign AI by design
OVHcloud places data confidentiality at the heart of its artificial intelligence offering. The Group's infrastructure and services hold certifications and qualifications that enable the hosting of the most sensitive data. Customers retain control over where their data is located, which models they deploy, and their ability to switch providers.
Accessible and transparent pricing
OVHcloud's accessible and transparent pricing model ensures a competitive price-performance ratio on the computing capacity dedicated to data analysis, fine-tuning, or model training. The absence of charges for inbound and outbound data transfers guarantees cost predictability.
An open ecosystem
OVHcloud favors open standards and open-source technologies, including open-weight models, in order to limit its customers' dependence on a single provider and to preserve the long-term reversibility of their deployments.
