Choose dedicated, guaranteed resources to optimize availability for your data.
The advantages of a Storage server
Huge storage capacity
Optimized disk space of up to 504TB offers you the best price-storage ratio. SATA, SSD and NVMe disks are available for FS_MAX servers. You can add up to 36 disks to your server’s configuration.
Hot swapping: replacing a disk without shutting down the system
Hot swapping is replacing a deficient drive, or one that needs to be removed from the server, without service interruption. Essential in a high-availability architecture. Available on our FS-48T, FS-72T and FS-MAX servers.
Interoperability
Along with its high storage capacity, the Storage range uses the OVHcloud private network (vRack) by default. With vRack, you can connect your OVHcloud products (dedicated servers, VPS, Public Cloud Instances) in a secure network, regardless of which OVHcloud data centers they are hosted in.

Features
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
Each server has a public IPv4 address and an IPv6 address range. As an option, you can rent additional IPv4 addresses for your dedicated server (up to 256 per machine).
DDoS protection
To provide maximum security for your infrastructure DDoS protection is included with your OVHcloud dedicated servers. It ensures the continuity of service of your applications in case of attack.
Assistance and support
By hosting your servers from OVHcloud, you benefit from technical support via chat available Monday-Friday from 9 AM - 5:30 PM ET. In addition, a range of guides and an online Help Center is available to assist you during the installation and administration of your services.
Drive customization
When ordering your dedicated server, you have the option of customizing its storage capacity with a wide range of drives.
Web hosting
With cheap bare metal servers, you can host your website and applications in a dedicated environment, where resources are entirely dedicated to you. This way you get all the benefits of powerful, reliable and scalable web hosting service, for less. 1Gbps public bandwidth included with all our servers.
Uses
Designed for storing important data, the servers in this range are perfect as backup spaces. Create secure backups of your operating systems, or other files.
For activities involving the provision of files (images, videos, etc.). Our servers have 500Mbps guaranteed bandwidth. The most suitable for streaming or file sharing.
Our Storage servers can host up to 216TB of data. Your server can be used to host databases, or serve as an SQL backup.
Optional with Storage servers
Support and documentation
We offer a range of documentation and online support to assist you in setting up and configuring your dedicated server.
Your questions answered
📝 When can I order the options offered?
The options are available at the server configuration step. You can also order and enable options directly via the OVHcloud Control Panel, after your service has been delivered.
🦾 What are the advantages of the vRack private network?
The vRack is a physical private network that is isolated from the internet. This means you can create your own cluster, or connect your server to an existing infrastructure. And you can do all of this at no extra cost.
Through the vRack private network, you can secure the exchanges between your web server and your database. To do this, you must disable the public IP address of the dedicated server you want to protect.
Available with the Advance, Storage and HG Premium Customizable server ranges.
Backup methods
Data backup
This involves creating a copy of the data you want to save in a place other than the one where it is stored. Sometimes data is stored in an independent folder, but located on the same disk. The backup must be taken on a space independent of the original storage area for this data. This way, it will be protected from any incidents that may lead to loss or corruption.
Differential backup
Based on a full backup of the data, a differential backup creates a backup containing the information that was created or modified after the full backup. Each differential backup compiles the changes built into the previous version, while adding the new ones. This uses more storage space than an incremental backup, but requires less processing time if the archived files need to be completely restored.
Incremental backup
Incremental backups are very useful if you want to save space, and start at D+1 of a full backup of the data (i.e. day D). During each backup, the data that has undergone changes, as well as the new data, is incremented with respect to day D-1. However, a full backup will require a longer recovery time compared to the differential backup, as each backup that has been incremented must be copied to a disk.
