Digital Realty, formerly InterXion, a global leader in data center solutions, interconnection, and colocation, has announced a strategic collaboration with OVHcloud, one of Europe’s leading cloud providers. This integration, centered on Digital Realty’s ServiceFabric™ platform, aims to provide businesses with a secure, high-performance cloud solution that facilitates digital transformation and the adoption of hybrid IT strategies.
Private Connectivity and Advanced Security
The partnership between Digital Realty and OVHcloud will enable companies to access a comprehensive portfolio of cloud and bare-metal server solutions directly and privately. This approach eliminates reliance on public internet traffic, enhancing both security and performance. These capabilities are ideal for mission-critical applications such as big data processing, cloud storage, and disaster recovery.
Chris Sharp, Chief Technology Officer of Digital Realty, noted: “Integrating OVHcloud’s solutions into our ServiceFabric™ platform reinforces our ability to provide scalable, secure, and uninterrupted connectivity to businesses worldwide. This partnership is a key step in meeting the growing demand for hybrid and multicloud solutions, ensuring flexibility, performance, and resilience.”
Meanwhile, Yaniv Fdida, Chief Product and Technology Officer at OVHcloud, emphasized: “Together with Digital Realty, we offer businesses the confidence to adopt private, hybrid, and public cloud solutions. Our joint approach ensures efficient digital transformation, with security and performance as fundamental pillars.”
Benefits for Key Sectors and AI Applications
The integration of OVHcloud with the ServiceFabric™ platform facilitates secure connectivity to critical solutions, a priority for sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government, as well as companies developing artificial intelligence (AI) applications in Europe. This infrastructure is also compatible with private AI exchange through Digital Realty’s Private AI Exchange (AIPx) solution, allowing organizations to manage large data volumes more effectively.
Global Reach and Scalability
With more than 300 data centers around the world, Digital Realty’s network, known as PlatformDIGITAL®, ensures that companies can connect to OVHcloud from over 150 global locations. This global accessibility enables multinational and regional organizations to manage their data in locations that meet specific regulatory and operational requirements.
Digital Realty’s and OVHcloud’s infrastructure not only enhances operational efficiency and scalability but also promotes sustainability. OVHcloud, recognized for its server design and efficient resource management, leads the industry with sustainable cloud solutions and a low environmental impact.
Advancing Europe’s Position in Cloud Connectivity
This collaboration reinforces Europe’s leadership in secure, private cloud connectivity solutions, highlighting both companies’ commitment to innovation and sustainability. OVHcloud currently operates over 450,000 servers across 43 data centers distributed over four continents, while Digital Realty continues to expand its global reach with advanced digital infrastructure solutions.
In a context where businesses increasingly rely on private and secure connectivity to support critical workloads, this strategic alliance ensures that organizations can confidently adopt advanced technologies and adapt to an increasingly digitized business environment.
With this integration, Digital Realty and OVHcloud not only strengthen their global presence but also provide businesses with an essential tool to thrive in today’s interconnected and data-driven economy.
