The result validates a public cloud business model that compromises neither on performance nor on price competitiveness. 16 May 2017 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2469.OVH-enters-the-Cloud-Spectator-2017-rankings-and-is-placed-1st-in-Europe-ahead-of-the-main-us-players-in-this-sector https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2469 The 21st datacenter of the group will be set up in Limburg, less than a millisecond from Frankfurt. OVH just acquired a building with a capacity of 45,000 servers and located very close to a major node of the German electrical grid. As the first of 3 datacenters to be implemented in Germany by the European cloud leader, the Limburg location will allow customers in the D-A-CH zone (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) to connect directly to the main Internet exchange points in Central Europe and Eastern Europe. The site is expected to go live in April of 2017. 19 Dec 2016 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2404.the-first-of-3-ovh-datacenters-in-germany-will-be-located-near-frankfurt https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2404 What’s been on the news these past few weeks at OVH? If you missed our latest headlines, this recap is for you. 31 Oct 2016 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2386.monthly-overview-ovh https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2386 For a little over a week, OVH has been in the public eye, with two different sets of eyes, that is. On one hand, the watchful eye of hundreds of thousands of comprised IP cameras used to cause the largest DDoS attack ever recorded - which was withstood well by OVH. On the other hand, journalists from all over the world with their own cameras, eager to learn more about this off-the-chart attack, its intensity (peaks of up to 1 Tbps) and its modus operandi (over 145,000 connected objects hacked to send numerous requests simultaneously). Torn between a need for transparency towards its customers and the risks attached to sharing the news about such an attack, OVH hadn't said much until now. Some inaccuracies found in a few articles here and there prompted us to speak up in order to set the record straight… and reassure everyone! 05 Oct 2016 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2367.the-ddos-that-didnt-break-the-camels-vac https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2367 So you haven’t gone past the pager worn at the belt by all doctors’ who had to stop everything as soon as the small device started beeping? A booster shot might be in order, if only to remind people how much communication has evolved over the past few years in the medical field. As a matter of fact, this has been PetalMD’s mission since its creation five years ago in Quebec City. It is now a leader in the development of productivity solutions for physicians across Canada, and its Cloud platform powered by OVH sparked the next revolution in the healthcare industry. 19 Sep 2016 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2357.with-petalmd-doctors-devote-more-time-patients https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2357 For the past 15 years, devices designed by company Eco-Counter have been relentlessly counting bikes and pedestrians.

The Airbnb of camping is now making its way across Europe and soon in North America. 29 Jul 2016 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2343.gamping-wilderness-camping-in-gardens-and-backyards https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2343 When we celebrate innovation and rejoice in the democratization of technology, we often forget this also benefits the malicious actors on the network. Despite advances in antivirus software, launching malware or ransomware has never been easier. For a year and a half OVH has contributed, at its level, to make the web safer by trapping malicious programs and when possible, their authors and discourage them from using the OVH network. Frank Denis, security expert within OVH’s Security Operation Center (SOC), which is made up of a 20 member team spread over three continents, provides us with some insight. 12 Jul 2016 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2305.open-season-malwares-ransomwares https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2305 Did you fall behind OVH's latest news?

All the servers which make up this farm are operated and managed by the OVH Storage team. Many internal services rely on the servers that the Storage team manages. Some of these servers can be used directly for achieving by deploying the OmniOS operating system configured with a ZFS filesystem. And others can be delivered to the shared hosting teams to be used for disk space for our customers. The datastores that Dedicated Cloud deploys each day are also included within this infrastructure. 29 Jun 2016 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2291.dbaas-time-series-use-case-ovh-storage-team https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2291 What do a billboard, water meter, box compactor and a recharging station for electrical vehicles have in common? It seems nothing, except that these items are becoming more and more connected. “Through sensors, they are able to transmit information regarding their state. This facilitates the recuperation of important data and maintains operational conditions remotely,” explains Pierric Cistac, developer at Connit. Deployed in mass around the world, these devices make up a farm of connected objects “a utility that is superior to connected watches, bracelets, tooth brushes or scales which, among the collective imagination, make up the Internet of Things (IoT),” according to him. 21 Jun 2016 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2289.among-IoT-machine-to-machine-is-submerged-part-iceberg https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2289 Twice a month, we give you an overview of our latest news and main headlines.

This unique position on the European map allows OVH to guarantee its customers that they are not subject to US jurisdiction, most notably the Patriot Act. It was under this logic, that in 2011, OVH established itself in Quebec, Canada, to offer services in North America while remaining non-subject to the Patriot Act. OVH is currently working on deploying new datacenters throughout the world. Among the new locations selected, the USA, the undisputed world leader of the cloud with an annual growth of 35%. OVH is working on a legal structure which will allow it to enter the US market, while keeping its unique positioning in Europe. 08 Jun 2016 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2294.how-ovh-will-balance-development-in-the-usa-while-preserving-its-european-identity https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2294 OVH has implemented a series of best practices to comply with the ISO 27017 standard for cloud security.

Originating from Skewjack in the United Kingdom, the underwater cable FLAG Atlantic-1 joins with Northport in the United States. 17 Mar 2016 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2140.a-new-link-for-ovh https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2140 Did you miss out on the latest news? Here's an overview of our main headlines for the first two weeks of March. 16 Mar 2016 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2141.summary-bimonthly-ovh https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2141 Web designers have always been faced with portability issues concerning how different browser interpret their work based on the recommendations of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Designing the same site for Internet Explorer then for Firefox was once considered an unavoidable practice. The emergence of new generations of mobile devices and new usages only add to this issue. In 2015, worldwide mobile phone internet user penetration was 52.7 percent. In 2017, figures suggest that more than 63.4 percent of mobile phone users will access online content through their devices. Therefore it is no longer possible to create a version of the site for each destination(1). This is why new solutions have emerged, among them responsive web design. 09 Mar 2016 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2126.responsive-web-design-how-get-started https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2126 Thirty-three-year old Tom Gauthier is the founder and CEO of Beloola, a first startup based in Lille (France) and San Mateo (California). Convinced that the web has 'so much more to offer than just two-dimensional pages', he created the first 3D social network with 100% web content, accessible from any device: PC, tablet, smartphone and from now on any virtual reality headset. Tom talks with OVH about his vision of the web's future. 04 Mar 2016 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2125.virtual-reality-3d-future-web https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2125 Is data the oil of tomorrow? Carried by an exponential growth and the explosion of Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT), data is becoming a resource at the center of strategic, legal, and security issues. The volume of data is such that a new unit of measurement has been introduced for it: the zettabyte (ZB), trillions of megabytes. According to a study* published by IDC, the amount of data will increase tenfold between 2013 and 2020 and will reach the astronomical amount of 44 zettabytes. 03 Mar 2016 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2109.data-protection-new-certifications https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2109 The way we search for information on the web is changing every day. In front of our computers, on smart phones or even watches, search is being shaped by these new means and a new relationship with screens. Facing these changes, SEO must adapt and broaden its scope to anticipate new search purposes, while relying on solid fundamentals. What can we expect in the upcoming year? David Looses, SEO specialist at OVH, shares some of the trends for 2016. 02 Feb 2016 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2088.trends-seo-2016-by-ovh https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2088 The use of virtual desktops intended for productivity tool users as well as those working remotely are now a common occurrence. These technologies are evolving rapidly to extent their use, particularly in professions where intensive applications have made migration a delicate process until now. 28 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2085.nvidia-cards-for-supercharged-virtual-desktops https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2085 Once again boasting an increasing number of connected objects, which seem to be on the verge of reaching a maturity point, the last edition of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) gave OVH the opportunity to test drive the potential of its new platform dedicated to the Internet of Things (IoT). But beyond that, it was also an opportunity to explore a constantly evolving ecosystem that’s brimming with ideas and where the ever-growing presence of startups is a perfect match for the innovation support program launched by OVH. 27 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2083.OVH-gaining-momentum-IoT-support-innovation https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2083 Launched in France at the beginning of summer, the VPS 2016 range is now available to OVH customers worldwide. What are the major advances in this new release? Damien Rannou, Tech lead (technical leader) of the project and Jean-Guillaume Burlet, VPS product manager, respond to this question and more. 80-2015 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a1850.VPS-2016-Infrastructure-Hardware-and-Usages https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/1850 Last June, the PHP language celebrated its 20th anniversary. Entering into adulthood and very widely popular, PHP has a bad reputation. It is regularly accused of being too permissive, too slow or even being supported by a community which is not professional enough. The consequence is that PHP is often dismissed when planning large scale web projects. The complaints issued against PHP are often merited. But the changes made to this language since 2009, with the arrival of 5.3, should lead us to revise our judgement. This language has strongly contributed to the expansion of dynamic web sites and with the launch of version 7.0, scheduled for mid-November, is more than ever in the race. 80-2015 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a1859.no-PHP-language-is-not-dead https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/1859 Today, performing a denial of service attack is amazingly simple. It is no longer necessary to possess advanced technical skills to render a service unstable or unavailable. Anti-DDoS protection, like that developed in 2013 by OVH, make it possible to limit the scope of such malicious acts which are in sharp increase (+80% recorded by OVH between 2013 and 2014). The gaming and e-sports industries are particularly affected by this phenomenon and the protective measures implemented by service providers often show their limits against the intensity and frequency of these attacks, in particular those which exploit the “non-connected” mode of the UDP protocol, the networking protocol used by a lot of game and voice servers. This is why OVH developed specific anti-DDoS protection adapted to the gaming universe. Clément Sciascia, OVH developer, provides more details. 80-2015 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a1844.zoom-protection-anti-ddos-game https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/1844 Big data may be able to help the Los Angeles Police Department reduce crime. It is said to be able to make cities more intelligent, and some even see it as a credible alternative to restrictive policy measures in the fight against climate change (1). Why has big data, in its seemingly all powerful appearance, not yet “uberized” the polling industry? Leonardo Noleto, Data Scientist, Guillaume Pataut, mathematician, and Guilhem Fouetillou, cofounder of the startup Linkfluence – which helps leverage social media conversations to create value for businesses- and associated professor at Science Po Paris, give their opinions on the question. 21 Dec 2015 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2055.insight-big-data-replace-opinion-polls https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2055 PayPal, Netflix, and more recently WordPress have adopted Full-Stack Javascript. This means that these applications now use the same language for the front-end, middleware and databases. OVH joined this movement early on. In 2013, its telecom control panel, presented at the Devoxx France conference, was one of the first customer interfaces coded in AngularJS and Bootstrap – having only the backoffice coded in Javascript to achieve Full-Stack. How can applications as complex as the OVH control panel be made agile? What technologies and methods help make the most efficient developers, while taking into account user feedback? 15 Dec 2015 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2041.new-manager-ovh-fullstack-development https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2041 OpenStack has recently and formally announced that OVH is now contributing to the open source project as a cloud resource provider for its continuous integration system. This support strengthens the ties between the OpenStack community and OVH, which operates large-scale solutions and has been one of the members of the project’s Foundation since 2014. 08 Dec 2015 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2033.ovh-becomes-infrastructure-donor-open-stack https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2033 In 2015, holiday season retail e-commerce revenues are projected to amount to 79.4 billion dollars in the United States, a 13.9 percent increase from the previous year*. For e-tailers experiencing growth like vendors with an international reputation, this extra traffic may cause an explosion of sales... and put a strain on its infrastructure. OVH offers customers the ability to face increases in seasonal traffic by deploying additional solutions and in some cases with just a single click. 27 Nov 2015 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2037.e-tailers-how-be-reactive-increase-holiday-traffic https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2037 Cyber Monday 2015 reached a new high with online customers spending a record $3.07 billion*. This follows astounding sales of $8.03 billion for the Thanksgiving weekend, a 17 percent increase over last year. Yet again consumers will be turning to the Internet for the Christmas period and the January sales. It’s therefore time for online businesses to review their SEO strategy. SEO Manager Rémi Bacha discusses must-have SEO strategies. 26 Nov 2015 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2017.e-tailers-essential-seo-holidays https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2017 The annual OpenZFS Developer Summit took place on October 19-20 in San Francisco. Used in a relatively discrete manner by IT professionals until now, OpenZFS celebrates its 10-year anniversary and it is becoming increasingly popular. See how this open source technology has been used to store the twelve petabytes of dailies for the movie Gravity (1), or witness its integration into the latest release of Ubuntu as a native file system. This year, two representatives from the OVH storage team were sent to the Developer Summit to learn about new developments and to offer their contribution to the community, “Live migration with Zmotion”. More details as well as an overview of the event are provided by François Lesage and Alexandre Lecuyer, OVH storage engineers. 24 Nov 2015 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a2002.why-ovh-is-betting-on-openzfs https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/2002 The biannual OpenStack gathering was held in Japan on October 27-30, 2015. The technical team in charge of the Public Cloud offer at OVH.com took part in the event as an “Ops”, a term used for operators of the open source project.

It’s for this reason that businesses are often reluctant to make changes, whether to update their solution or to change provider. 29 Oct 2015 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a1955.How-to-migrate-your-e-mail-accounts https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/1955 With the imminent opening of a datacenter on the American West Coast, the doubling of its staff in the Montreal region, and a support program for the most promising start-ups, OVH has just opened its brand new North American head office at the heart of Montreal. Here’s a summary of the main announcements as well as some images. 28 Oct 2015 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a1952.inauguration-new-headquarters-ovh-montreal https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/1952 In recent years, the minor releases of PHP have successively offered significant improvements in the performance of the language. The community around PHP has become more professional and has made numerous tools available to developers to improve the use of the language and application maintenance. Announced as a major event, PHP 7, successor to PHP 5, has a scheduled release date of November 12. What are the reasons behind this being considered a major event? Let’s take a look under the hood of PHP 7. 28 Oct 2015 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a1948.php7-news-time-to-migrate https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/1948 Video games are the second largest cultural industry in the world. Today, half of the American population plays video games. Among players, 62% play on PC, and spend an estimated 6.5 hours per week playing online *. Every evening, all over the world, millions of players connect to servers to compete or collaborate with teammates without realizing the challenges that server providers have to overcome in order to offer them quality service despite a strong surge in cyber attacks. VeryGames, one of the European leaders in the gaming sector, gives us a behind-the scenes look. 10 Oct 2015 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a1877.interview-verygames-anti-ddos-game https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/1877 At the start of 2015, OVH undertook a responsible approach in the fight against spam and other types of abuse. With its membership to the organizations of Signal Spam and M3AAWG, the implementation of a new Abuse center and R&D dedicated to identifying new methods of combatting malicious behavior, the company has seen a steady decline in the amount of spam sent from its infrastructure. Romain Beeckman, Chief Legal Officer and Stéphane Lesimple, CISO and SOC department leader, explain the measures deployed by the European Leader of Digital as a Service. 21 Sep 2015 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a1849.OVH-strengthens-its-fight-against-spam https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/1849 OVH took part in the Montreal Startup Festival, which gathered over 2,000 participants on July 16-17. It was a unique platform for interaction between entrepreneurs, investors and analysts eager to build tomorrow's economic models as well as an opportunity for OVH to seize up their expectations and apprehensions. OVH is currently working on the creation of its own start-up support program. 10 Aug 2015 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a1823.ovh-wants-to-foster-the-emergence-of-the-most-promising-startups https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/1823 OVH is staying the course and strengthening its presence in North America. While showing a very solid presence on all fronts during the OVH World Tour which took place in New York City on June 25, the leader in secured cloud computing has made multiple announcements and solidified its ambition to offer ever more stable and innovative infrastructures. 10 Jul 2015 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a1806.new-york-scouting-speed-up-north-american-growth https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/1806 In 1893, the company Westinghouse, took the undertaking of deploying the first electrical network in the United States, exploiting the alternating current system advocated by the scientist, Nicola Tesla. As amazing as it sounds, this method of distributing electricity has not evolved very much since this then. In more recent datacenter history, the same could be said as little has evolved in this field too. 24 Jun 2015 00:00:00 GMT https://www.ovh.com/asia/a1792.rethinking-electrical-distribution-datacenters-reduce-risk-of-failure https://www.ovh.com/asia/articles/1792 The biannual gathering of the OpenStack project brought together more than 6,000 people between the 18th and 22nd of May in the city of Vancouver.
