Colt Technology Services has announced a strategic partnership with OVHcloud, a leading European provider of public and private cloud services, in an initiative that promises to revolutionize cloud service offerings on a global scale. This collaboration will enable companies in over 140 countries to access advanced cloud solutions with enhanced security and flexibility, thanks to Colt’s dedicated connectivity.
Business customers of Colt will benefit from the award-winning Dedicated Cloud Access connectivity, which is now integrated with OVHcloud’s robust public and private cloud services through OVHcloud Connect. This integration ensures that company data is handled with maximum security, both within the cloud and during transitions to and from it.
OVHcloud operates over 450,000 servers in 43 data centers, serving 1.6 million customers across four continents. This infrastructure enables the delivery of cutting-edge solutions that combine performance, predictable pricing, and total data sovereignty, supporting the unrestricted growth of their customers.
Colt, on the other hand, extends connectivity to OVHcloud through eight Points of Presence (PoPs) in Europe and one in Singapore. This global network connects over 32,000 buildings and 1,200 data centers, providing various connectivity options, including SD WAN, Ethernet, Wave, and IPVPN, as well as the first Network as a Service (NaaS) with Colt On Demand.
The announcement of this collaboration comes at a time when the cloud market is expanding rapidly. According to a report by Colorlib, 94% of companies worldwide are using cloud services, with cloud migration and improved security being top priorities for IT investment.
“We are thrilled to work with Colt and offer OVHcloud services and solutions to more customers worldwide,” said Yaniv Fdida, product and technology director at OVHcloud.
