Two people around the clock with no provision for vacation or absence is a minimum of 10 people (if you keep all shifts 40h and below.) Add a couple for redundancy, some sort of manager, cleaning staff and a surge of day time staff and you're at 20. You can probably use a few more people, some tradespersons, and security (this is near DC, they have to be thinking about Gov work) and pretty soon 54 is not too crazy.

OVH provides lots of leased servers so you need larger staff than a pure colo. They're also calling this US HQ so add some sales, support and operations staff that would/will be remote at the second US datacenter.
