SecNumCloud-qualified Bare Metal Pod
Bare Metal Pod: a sovereign, ultra-secure solution for sensitive environments
A trusted cloud platform designed to meet the highest security requirements.
Deploy Bare Metal technology in our SecNumCloud-qualified regions (Gravelines, Roubaix and Strasbourg), and manage your solution directly via OpenStack APIs.
What is a Bare Metal Pod?
Bare Metal Pod is the fruit of several months of research and development, backed by 25 years of OVHcloud datacentre expertise and innovation.
The result: a fully isolated platform in terms of both hardware and software. The customer’s services run in a separate, isolated space within OVHcloud datacentres, with dedicated network infrastructure and servers.
The rack can be managed remotely using either a graphical interface or industry-standard OpenStack APIs, for a full cloud computing experience.
Thanks to our development efforts, we have integrated a software layer into the infrastructure, using proven open-source technologies like OpenStack, Grafana*, or Netbox. This building block simplifies configuration, and does not require any system or network administration skills.
Bare Metal Pod has been qualified SecNumCloud by ANSSI. This reaffirms our adherence to best security practices and provides a reliable solution with enhanced sovereignty and security for critical, sensitive cloud data.

What benefits can you expect for your infrastructure needs?
Security in an isolated environment
You can deploy your data and applications on clusters ranging in size from 8 to 1,500 servers. Inside the Pod, you have exclusive use of their racks, network, management interfaces, and APIs.
Your bandwidth and machines are safe from attacks or interference from nearby services.
The raw power of OVHcloud dedicated servers
The Bare Metal Pod offers the raw power of OVHcloud dedicated servers for high intensity computing, GPU workloads, database management, and large capacity storage.
Our servers are equipped with the latest-generation AMD EPYC and Intel Gold processors and dual processors, and deliver first-rate raw performance. These servers include NVIDIA GPU cards designed for the most ambitious projects, to amp up computing performance and speed up operations.
Data sovereignty
To guarantee compliance with the highest security standards, SecNumCloud-qualified solutions are hosted in 3 dedicated, ANSSI-compliant datacentres.
With its design, the Bare Metal Pod aims to respond to the demand for industrial protection, GDPR compliance, and sensitive data management while adhering to government regulations.
The simplicity of the cloud
Get total flexibility to adjust your Pod’s resources (expand or reduce their capacity) to suit your needs.
All your servers can be configured via OpenStack API, or with tools like Terraform/Infrastructure as Code.
The Bare Metal Pod is the groundwork for future developments in our SecNumCloud roadmap. This includes creating PaaS products that can be accessed via a SecNumCloud environment, or in a fully isolated environment completely disconnected from OVHcloud and the internet.
Our servers compatible with Bare Metal Pod deployment
This solution enables you to deploy some of the most powerful servers on the market, offering you:
- computing capacity of up to several thousand cores and hundreds of NVIDIA GPU cards within the Pod;
- storage volumes with more than a petabyte of encrypted data at rest;
- a private network included with your servers, up to 100 Gbps.
