What is Cloud Computing?
The foundation of cloud computing is the concept of “as a service” solutions. This includes "Infrastructure-as-a-Service" (IaaS), "Platform-as-a-Service" (PaaS), and "Software-as-a-Service" (SaaS). The cloud is a web application, software, and resource hosting service that powers the modern internet. Here are three key characteristics that define cloud computing:
On Demand.
Cloud solutions are available almost instantaneously, often through an API or user-friendly interface. They are automatically activated. This way, the "on-demand" approach ensures great responsiveness in terms of implementation and use and is ideal for dynamic workloads.
Granular Billing
This is one of the other benefits of cloud computing. Only resources or services consumed are invoiced, often with hourly or gigabyte granularity. With this pay-as-you-go model, there is no need to provision or invest in dormant resources.
Hardware Abstraction
The concept of the cloud is based on freeing users from their dependency on physical hardware. Cloud computing makes a clear distinction between the equipment used and the service delivered. This means that you don’t need to manage or own servers. With Public Cloud, hardware is no longer as great a concern for end users as it may have been in the past.
Cloud Services Available Around the Globe
Enterprise-Ready Public Cloud Solutions With OVHcloud
OVHcloud offers a wide range of cloud solutions that help you meet your goals, save time, and focus on your core business.
Cloud Migration Services
OVHcloud’s Public Cloud is based on industry-standard technology, providing native compatibility between systems and making data imports and exports as efficient as possible.
DevOps and Continuous Integration
A large number of tools are directly configurable for our Public Cloud, so you are able to use the entire DevOps ecosystem, such as Terraform and Ansible, while relying on OVHcloud resources for software factories (Jenkins, for example).
Artificial Intelligence and Data-driven Business
To meet the growing demand for effective data manipulation and analysis, we offer machine learning, deep learning, and big data solutions. Everything is made possible through scalable, dedicated resources and storage capacity.
Build and scale AI models, run big data analytics, and deploy intelligent applications. Our public cloud infrastructure supports machine learning, deep learning, and real-time data processing, backed by scalable, dedicated resources and storage capacity.
Open-source is at the center of our cloud computing platforms
OpenStack
OpenStack is the foundation of the OVHcloud Public Cloud. OVHcloud is an active sponsor of the wider open-source community. We also provide infrastructure for OpenStack’s CI/CD and contribute to the code, both directly and through feedback. We are one of OpenStack’s most important operators.
Kubernetes
OVHcloud relies on Kubernetes to provide containerized services. We are also members of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), with all our solutions certified as compliant.
Discover our Public Cloud Solutions
Our Public Cloud solutions consist of a comprehensive range of cloud services, all of which are invoiced based on your actual usage. This way, you can focus on your core business, thanks to a flexible infrastructure, with resources available on demand. Manage your consumption based on your requirements, for projects of all sizes.
What Are the Advantages of the Cloud?
Flexibility and security
The cloud offers companies a high level of flexibility so that they can meet their requirements in terms of storage, computing, and much more. Users no longer need to make costly investments at the start of a project or create provisional medium- or long-term plans. You can adapt your infrastructure and billing to suit your needs.
On top of scalable, secure infrastructures and new technologies like water-cooling in our data centers, the OVHcloud cloud offers its users an hourly billing option, so you only pay for the resources you use. With the virtualization of servers and resources, the infrastructure can be adapted to suit your needs. You can add and remove resources in real-time to better respond to traffic spikes. By replicating the data and backups present on your infrastructure, the cloud ensures high availability for your data, even in the event of an outage.
Why use the cloud?
By combining hardware and software technologies, the cloud has given rise to a range of different service models.
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
Gain access to a scalable IT infrastructure. With IaaS, you rent a hardware-based infrastructure without any need to maintain the hardware itself or its virtualization layer. As a service provider, we take care of this for you. It is perfect if you want to fully administer scalable IT services. It also gives you the option of being billed based on your usage, so that you only pay for the resources you use.
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
Launch applications faster with a managed platform. PaaS solutions provide you with a ready-to-use platform on which you can install, configure, and run your applications. Your service provider manages the hardware, virtualization layer, and operating system.
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
Run web and software applications from the cloud, with no setup required. With SaaS, you can access your web and software applications from anywhere, anytime, with no limit to the number of users. With this cloud model, you won’t have to worry about the hardware, the software layer, or the setup of applications on the server. Need more resources? Your solution is scalable, and your subscription can be adapted to suit your requirements!
