What is a datacentre?
A datacentre is a site that hosts all of the equipment needed for an IT system to work. For logistical, performance and price reasons, businesses rely on companies that specialise in server hosting, and offer their services in one or more of their datacentres.
While it has long been possible for businesses to store their own servers on-premises, it makes more sense now — especially with the advent of the cloud — to outsource this management. For example, the hosting provider delivers infrastructure and services like data storage, databases, fully-managed servers, big data solutions, and even shared hosting in a cloud environment.
What are the advantages of renting a server in a datacentre?
First of all, the advantage of choosing to outsource your IT infrastructure management is that you can then focus on your core business. OVHcloud maintains all the hardware, configurations for different servers, technical requirements, processor maintenance (CPU), RAM, storage disks (SSD, hard disk), etc.
You also benefit from all the expertise of your hosting provider, and the range of services and solutions they have developed. This way, you can discover the advantages of cloud computing without having to mount and deploy an infrastructure with a hypervisor yourself, and provision resources.
Where are the datacentres located?
Datacentre security
We have full control over physical security in our datacentres, as we are the sole operator. Access to buildings is limited and controlled in compliance with the very strictest standards and requirements, to ensure maximum security within the site.
Datacentre technology
Throughout their entire lifespan, our datacentres benefit from over 20 years of experience in fully managing the server production chain. They are equipped with cutting-edge technology, and offer the very latest innovations, such as high availability. Redundant power is critical for our infrastructures to operate smoothly, so we use a double power supply. Autonomous generators can also take over in the event of a general outage.
