Solving Blockchain Challenges With Cloud Infrastructure

Cloud + Blockchain: A High Level Look at What Works Best

This post is a quick summary of a recent OVHcloud global blog on how to use the cloud to solve blockchain challenges. The original piece was written with a European focus, but the benefits of combining blockchain and cloud infrastructure, and the criteria for choosing the right provider, are just as relevant to U.S. organizations. This is especially true when considering regulations such as CCPA, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.

Blockchain adoption is accelerating across industries. The underlying technology choices matter more than ever. Cloud infrastructure can remove many of the pain points that slow blockchain deployment, from high operational costs to complex compliance requirements and time to market delays.

Different types of cloud solutions meet blockchain’s unique needs. Bare metal servers give direct control and predictable performance for high security or low latency workloads. Public cloud platforms deliver agility and rapid deployment with pre-certified compliance options. Hosted private cloud offer dedicated environments and orchestration tools for organizations needing high availability and tight regulatory controls.

Attributes like hybrid and multi-cloud support, transparent pricing (especially for ingress and egress data), open source compatibility, and strong SLAs all directly impact blockchain scalability and security on both sides of the Atlantic. For U.S.-based deployments, provider compliance and certifications such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001 are especially important.
