OVHcloud, the leading European cloud provider, has announced the launch of its first data centre in India as part of its expansion plan in the Asia-Pacific region. Two additional data centres in Singapore and Australia are also set to be deployed by next year, as part of OVHcloud’s recently announced strategic plan to build 15 new sites globally by 2024. The Mumbai facility will provide OVHcloud customers with open, trusted, sovereign, and sustainable cloud solutions to meet their growing digital needs.

This launch comes at a crucial time for the Asia-Pacific region as it witnesses an increase in cloud adoption amid regulatory scrutiny over data sovereignty and environmental concerns. India, Singapore, and Australia are driving this growth from a business transformation and digital innovation perspective. The new data centre in Mumbai will offer Indian businesses enhanced support through local compute and storage capabilities to meet evolving data compliance needs.

OVHcloud is a pioneer in sustainable cloud, having deployed 20 years of industrial innovation such as circularity and water cooling at scale. Its disruptive innovations enable the Group to reach best-in-class sustainability metrics, with a PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) at 1.28 and a WUE (Water Usage Effectiveness) of 0.26. With OVHcloud proprietary water cooling technology, this new data centre adapts its infrastructure to meet tropical conditions.

Terry Maiolo, Vice President and General Manager of APAC, OVHcloud, said, “Our new generation of data centres, coupled with enhanced compute and scalable storage capabilities, will elevate our ability to provide customers in India and the region with high-performance cloud solutions that have optimised and predictable price-performance ratios, even as their needs evolve.”

Following this launch, customers in the Asia-Pacific region can anticipate the deployment of upcoming data centres in Singapore and Sydney by next year. The Asia-Pacific data centres will account for six out of OVHcloud’s global network of 48 data centres by 2024.
