Is it true that OVH has literally all data in that single datacenter?
5 comments

Genuine question: How did that question come to be?

Knowing nothing about OVH, I just typed "ovh datacenters" into Google and the first hit was this: https://www.ovh.com/world/us/about-us/datacenters.xml with the first sentence being "27 data centers around the world, including 2 of the largest ones".

weird '.xml' url.. wonder where that's linked from

list broken down a bit more on this page

https://us.ovhcloud.com/about/company/data-centers

Nope. 27 in the world, 10 in France, 1 caught fire, 2 others are stopped for inspection.

What a stupid rumor thanks for clarifying
It is usually true that data literally on site is on site
No. OVH has 27(-1) datacenters.
I'm guessing the other two SBG datacenters took some kind of hit.

The buildings are very close together: https://cdn.baxtel.com/data-center/ovh-strasbourg-campus/pho...

And the fire looked really hot...like melting steel containers hot: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EwGqV17XMAMF_wa?format=jpg&name=...

SBG 1 had some rooms impacted, SBG 3 and 4 were not impacted at all.

However, they need to bring new power online, as well as bring a new network setup/fiber online to get network connectivity.
