Certainly! Here’s the translated text into American English:

OVHcloud, a European leader in cloud computing services, held its annual summit yesterday at the Maison de la Mutualité, bringing together nearly 1,000 experts in technology, developers, entrepreneurs, and IT sector representatives to explore the latest innovations and strategies of the company on its 25th anniversary.

The event, led by Octave Klaba, founder and president of OVHcloud, along with new CEO Benjamin Revcolevschi, presented an ambitious roadmap towards 2025, focused on consolidating public cloud services, artificial intelligence, and sovereign cloud solutions, all with a strong emphasis on sustainability and data security.


Certification and Sovereignty in the Cloud

In a global context marked by increasing geopolitical concerns, OVHcloud reinforces its commitment to a trusted cloud. The company has renewed its SecNumCloud 3.2 certification to ensure protection against extraterritorial access and continues to expand its range of sovereign solutions. One of these innovations is the Bare Metal Pod, an isolated infrastructure designed to maximize data security, which will be certified under SecNumCloud standards by early 2025.

Furthermore, OVHcloud introduced its On-Prem Cloud Platform, enabling organizations to operate storage, computing, and database solutions on-site or at the edge, responding to an annual growth of 28% in this segment projected by Gartner.


International Expansion: New Horizons

OVHcloud is expanding its global reach with the announcement of its first 3-AZ region outside of France, located in Milan, which will be operational in 2025. This region will provide greater resilience and a comprehensive offering of IaaS and PaaS products. Additionally, the company plans to open five new 3-AZ regions in Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific.

The expansion of Local Zones, based on gridscale technology acquired in 2023, has also been a highlight. Currently, OVHcloud has 16 Local Zones worldwide, including Madrid, and plans to reach 42 Local Zones by August 2025, with the objective of exceeding 100 by 2027.
