• OVHcloud opens its first Dutch Local Zone in Amsterdam supporting local businesses expansion

OVHcloud, the European Cloud leader, today announces the opening of its first Public Cloud Local Zone in Amsterdam. Driven by innovative technology from gridscale, OVHcloud's latest acquisition, the Group can now deploy cloud capacity within weeks to serve new international locations. Adding to Local Zones previously opened in Brussels, Madrid and Milan, the new Local Zone in Amsterdam brings new options for Dutch customers to access the Group's Public Cloud services, with reduced latency and local data residency. In full compliance with European digital sovereignty and security regulations, the new Local Zone in Amsterdam fits stringent security policies of organisations such as finance, banking and government sectors.

The advantages of OVHcloud Open & Trusted Cloud

New OVHcloud Local Zone in Amsterdam offers Dutch customers the advantage of the Group's Open and Trusted Cloud and the benefits of data residency. With data now being closer to where it's generated or needed, and accessible through the Cloud, customers are confident their data will stay within geographical boundaries defined by either local regulations or security policies. This is particularly important across industries such as consulting, financial services and healthcare.

Local Zones also confer better latency. That means that workloads with latency-sensitives services such as real-time analytics, E-commerce websites, Content Delivery Network (CDN) for replay and streaming videos, as well as Cloud gaming, will benefit from faster response times, providing a better user experience. For most customers, OVHcloud Local Zones offer single digit millisecond latencies enabling use cases such as high-performance Cloud gaming with minimal delays.

"Today's availability of the Amsterdam Local Zone, marks a milestone date in OVHcloud's relationship with the Netherlands, and demonstrates once again the centrality of the country in the Group's strategy. From now on Dutch customers will take advantage of the Local Zone to rely on even more secure, fast and efficient services to support business locally and digital transformation in the Amsterdam tech ecosystem", said Caroline Comet-Fraigneau, Vice President France, Benelux, Africa and Middle-East at OVHcloud.

Organisations can now benefit from Local Zone Public Cloud features including Compute, Block Storage and Networking, including local Public IP. Additional services will be released in the coming months thanks to an iterative development model. Customers can expect future access to features such as Object Storage and Managed Rancher Service for Multi-cloud Kubernetes management.

OVHcloud new Local Zones in Spain and Belgium are also ISO/IEC 27001 certified, supplemented by the requirements of ISO/IEC 27017 specific to cloud services security and ISO/IEC 27018 for personal data protection. Those certifications ensure that businesses can deploy services in an OVHcloud environment with the highest security standards.

Availability

Available now, the Local Zone in Amsterdam is open to customers being able to deploy their Public Cloud services direct from the OVHcloud customer interface.
