Change is no longer optional

Since Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, the rules of the game have changed with regard to licensing, partners and costs. Organisations that were slow to act have less wiggle room now. The pricing has been revised and the network of approved service providers is now smaller. Continuously delaying a decision means facing future changes unprepared.

Take back control of your costs

Economic analysis has also evolved. Rising licence costs, the need for more frequent hardware upgrades, and the budget instability that follows are why managed infrastructure is a game changer. With it, businesses can avoid non-discretionary spending and benefit from predictable costs and zero data exit fees.  

Draw on our VMware expertise

For over 15 years, OVHcloud has been supporting enterprises and public sector organisations in their move to VMware cloud. We are a Broadcom Pinnacle partner, the highest level in the programme. This status recognises our expertise and gives us priority access to VMware by Broadcom software updates, including VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), which is steadily emerging as the standard platform. Your teams will be using tools they are already familiar with. OVHcloud supports you on the path that best suits your situation: a phased migration or a complete switch to VCF.

Our commitments: sovereignty, security and sustainability

Sovereignty and certifications

We offer VMware on OVHcloud solutions that are SecNumCloud-qualified and certified to C5, G-Cloud, AgID, ENS, HDS and PCI DSS standards. They cover the most heavily regulated sectors: healthcare, finance and the public sector. OVHcloud has been recognised by VMware by Broadcom as a ‘Sovereign Cloud’ for data protection.

Predictable pricing, with no hidden charges

OVHcloud offers competitive value for money, with transparent, predictable billing, and incoming and outgoing traffic costs included. No outgoing data fees, no surprise surcharges: what you see is what you pay.

Sustainable and resilient infrastructure

OVHcloud operates its datacentres using a water-cooling system, achieving the best PUE and WUE metrics in the industry. We have, in fact, been designated ‘Zero Carbon Committed’ by VMware by Broadcom. OVHcloud operates over 500,000 servers in 46 datacentres across four continents.

TIPCO - Fallstudie - OVHcloud

 TIPCO – FinTech – Austria

TIPCO’s financial platform, used by over 130 European businesses, runs on OVHcloud’s SDDC, which features VMware Enterprise and NSX, and is set up in two datacentres in Germany and France. A dedicated infrastructure, compliant with the GDPR and scalable on demand, all without the need for hardware maintenance.

 “We need very high availability as well as excellent scalability. OVHcloud offers these features along with robust security at an affordable cost.”

VOXVOX– MSP – France

Following Broadcom’s acquisition and a subsequent increase of over 30% in VMware license fees, VOXY migrated to Public VCF as-a-Service to host a critical SaaS solution used by nearly 2 million clients. The result: operating costs dropped by 14%, and the infrastructure now dynamically adapts to surges in activity. 

“One of the key advantages of using OVHcloud is the ability to adapt infrastructure on demand, depending on usage peaks or changing needs. This flexibility lets us maintain a high level of service, without excessive and needless provisioning.”

Emmanuel Andreu, CEO, VOXY

Your questions answered

Can I migrate from my on-site VMware infrastructure without downtime?

OVHcloud enables the migration of existing VMware workloads with minimal downtime and without the need for replatforming. We also offer Professional Services to support your migration, using tools such as live vMotion and real-time storage mapping.

Which certifications do the managed VMware on OVHcloud solutions cover?

Our managed VMware on OVHcloud solutions come with qualifications and certifications covering various sectors: SecNumCloud, C5, G-Cloud, AgID and ENS for government and public sector organisations, HDS for healthcare data, and PCI DSS for banking data. The entire product range is certified to ISO 27001.

When will the VMware Private Cloud Foundation (VCF) as-a-Service solution be available?

Private VCF as-a-Service is currently in the works and is expected to launch in early 2027. Want to know more? Get in touch.
If you are particularly interested in the Stretched Cluster 3-AZ version, an alpha version has already been released. To find out more, please visit this page.

Is my data shielded from extraterritorial laws such as the US CLOUD Act?

OVHcloud is a company incorporated under French law, whose datacentres are located and operated in Europe. Customer data is subject solely to European regulations, unlike US providers whose headquarters fall under the jurisdiction of the CLOUD Act. This is a key differentiator for organisations subject to the GDPR or to sector-specific sovereignty requirements.

Can I connect my on-premises infrastructure to set up a hybrid environment?

VMware OVHcloud offerings are integrated with other OVHcloud services via the vRack private network. For dedicated connectivity between your datacentre and OVHcloud, you can use OVHcloud Connect to set up a secure private link.
