Hosted Private Cloud

One of the biggest pricing advantages with OVHcloud comes from data transfer. Unlike AWS VMware Cloud (VMC) and Azure VMware Solution (AVS), which charge per GB for data egress, OVHcloud includes free and unlimited data transfer by default. For VMware environments with frequent workload movement, backups, or disaster recovery, this can eliminate a major and often unpredictable cost driver.



Beyond data transfer, OVHcloud uses a predictable monthly pricing model with a fixed price per host or pack, making costs easy to forecast from day one. In contrast, AWS VMC and Azure AVS rely on hourly or consumption-based pricing with more complex tiering. While both offer 1- or 3-year reserved options, overall costs can still fluctuate depending on usage patterns.



Licensing is also more straightforward with OVHcloud, as it’s included directly in the host price. AWS and Azure bundle VMware licensing as well, but their higher underlying infrastructure costs typically result in a higher total cost of ownership.



Overall, OVHcloud delivers better cost predictability with no long-term commitment required, while AWS VMC tends to offer lower predictability and Azure AVS sits in the middle, often requiring longer-term commitments to achieve cost efficiency.

$0. OVHcloud does not charge for data egress on its Hosted Private Cloud — including transfers to the public internet or other cloud providers. Unlike hyperscalers that charge per gigabyte for outbound data, OVHcloud includes unlimited, unmetered bandwidth in its fixed monthly pricing, practically limited only by your cluster's public link speed (typically 10Gbps).

OVHcloud supports hybrid integration by extending your existing VMware or Nutanix environment into OVHcloud without re-architecture. OVHcloud Connect, available through direct or provider options, enables secure connectivity between on-premise environments and OVHcloud, supported by flexible, symmetric bandwidth ranging from 200 Mbps up to 100 Gbps to scale with workload demands. Networking is powered by vRack, OVHcloud’s global private Layer 2 and Layer 3 network, helping ensure consistent, low-latency communication and maintaining existing IP addressing.

Workloads can be migrated with minimal downtime using familiar tools, while teams continue operating in VMware vCenter or Nutanix Prism with no retraining required. Customers can choose between Managed VMware vSphere or Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP) as their licensing model, and leverage industry-standard solutions such as Veeam Backup, Zerto Disaster Recovery, or Nutanix Move to support migration and disaster recovery. Dedicated infrastructure ensures predictable performance, and with zero egress fees, data can move freely between environments without added cost constraints.

Yes. Every OVHcloud Hosted Private Cloud environment is a physically isolated, single-tenant solution. Your data and workloads sit on 100% dedicated bare metal hardware, never on a shared hypervisor. This single-tenant architecture supports strict regulatory requirements for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 Type II, ensuring maximum security and audit-readiness for US enterprises.

OVHcloud operates two data centers strategically located to serve the United States: Vint Hill, Virginia (US East) and Hillsboro, Oregon (US West). These locations provide geo-redundancy, low-latency connectivity across North America, and ensure that all data remains within US borders to satisfy data sovereignty mandates.
