The new range of servers is aimed at large corporations , for example the banking , healthcare , higher education and research sectors . These organisations typically need a strong price-performance ratio , the ability to anticipate technical risks and deliver business growth . To meet these requirements , they also need to be supported by a resilient , very highbandwidth network , available across the globe – all of which the new Bare Metal ranges provide .

OVHcloud expertise for a wide range of professional use cases

The two new ranges : Scale and High- Grade offer servers optimised for complex , resource-intensive tasks . They are particularly suited to the following use cases :

• Managing Hyper Converged Infrastructure ( HCI ), particularly for companies that want to consolidate their data centres

• Software-Defined Storage ( SDS ), that can handle increased volumes of data , while controlling costs

• Virtualisation , containerisation and orchestration , for project deployment or application modernisation while optimising hardware and software investments

• Big Data and analytics , to optimise data usage

• Archiving and backup , as storage solutions must meet very specific needs such as agile information

flow management , fault prevention , ensuring optimal archiving of critical data , and compliance with applicable laws

• Virtual Desktop Infrastructure ( VDI ), for large-scale management of remote and virtualised work environments

Two innovative ranges to meet the highest requirements

The Scale and High-Grade ranges include all the OVHcloud commitments : the latest and most powerful computing components , the best price-performance ratio with transparent and predictable pricing , OVHcloud Link Aggregation ( OLA ) technology , which allows users to aggregate each server ’ s network interfaces to boost its availability while isolating it from the public network and any potential threats , and 99.99 % SLA Anti-DDoS protection . Finally , unlimited traffic is also included .

Complementing the Hosted Private Cloud catalogue , both ranges are operated according to the most demanding security standards in compliance with ISO / IEC 27001 .

• Scale offers a range of six servers with AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon Gold CPUs . It is aimed at companies with high performance requirements .

Scale provides the resilience and speed to enable these large companies to grow their business by improving their IT performance . The range offers a guaranteed bandwidth of up to 25 Gbps and a service level agreement ( SLA ) of 99.99 %, ensuring the best guarantees for hosting the customer ’ s infrastructure ( on private or hybrid cloud ).

• High-Grade , consisting of a selection of 10 servers based on AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon Gold CPUs , is designed for businesses with critical availability and performance needs . The range offers guaranteed bandwidth of up to 50 Gbps and combines computing power , a very high-bandwidth network and a large storage capacity . It is particularly well suited to use cases involving HCI , SDS or storage , and will grow into a machine dedicated to Artificial Intelligence ( AI ).

“ These new OVHcloud ranges address the challenges faced by large companies and organisations with critical needs . With the Bare Metal Scale and High-Grade ranges , we want to provide a turnkey , high-performance and versatile solution that allows companies to focus on their core day-to-day operations and on growth ,” said Sylvain Rouri , Chief Sales Officer at OVHcloud . ◊
