OVHcloud AI

About OVHcloud AI

OVHcloud was founded in 1999 by Octave Klaba in Roubaix, France, and has grown to become Europe's largest independent cloud provider by server count, operating over 40 data centres across Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific. The company is incorporated as a Société Anonyme under French law, publicly listed on Euronext Paris, and has no US parent company, private equity owner, or hyperscaler dependency. OVHcloud's AI product suite covers the full AI development lifecycle. AI Notebooks provides GPU-backed Jupyter notebook environments for data science and model development. AI Training enables large-scale model training on OVHcloud's NVIDIA GPU clusters (H100, A100, V100) with per-hour billing. AI Deploy (previously AI Endpoints) provides managed model serving infrastructure for deploying trained models or pre-configured open-source LLM inference endpoints. The Public Cloud AI Endpoints service provides direct API access to popular open-source models including Llama 3, Mistral, Mixtral, and others hosted in OVHcloud's EU data centres. For European organisations—particularly in regulated sectors such as financial services, healthcare, and public administration—OVHcloud's sovereignty profile is exceptional. French incorporation means the company is subject to French law, EU law, the GDPR, and the EU AI Act as a matter of corporate law. There is no CLOUD Act exposure. OVHcloud participates in the French government's SecNumCloud certification programme (the highest level of French sovereign cloud certification), and the company is a founding member of the GAIA-X European cloud initiative. OVHcloud holds ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, SOC 2 Type II, HDS (Hébergement de Données de Santé—French healthcare data certification), and SecNumCloud qualification for specific product lines. This certification portfolio is among the most comprehensive available from any cloud provider for European regulated industries. For European AI teams that require maximum data sovereignty—public sector, defence-adjacent, healthcare, finance—OVHcloud AI provides the strongest possible governance and jurisdiction profile of any commercially available managed AI infrastructure service.
