The Versatile OVH Servers

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use OVH Dedicated Servers to host our websites and/or commerce platform and manage our private network. We've recently engaged their Managed Bare Metal solution to automate and manage our infrastructure on a 24/7 basis while still having full control. The OVH Software-defined storage has been crucial in optimizing and modernizing our cloud storage to a more ideal way.

Pros

  • Automatically archives and backs up storage.
  • It is optimized for large and critical loads.
  • Consistent top uptime.

Cons

  • Security options are pretty basic, we must use SOAR software alongside to secure the servers.

Return on Investment

  • Consistent 99 percent uptime.
  • Quite affordable, with plans costing barely 100 dollars per month.
