Database
Databases on a bare-metal server
The database is an essential part of any infrastructure. The best platform to choose will depend on your project’s needs. Whether it is distributed or object-oriented, a database will often require a lot of storage space and reactive data processing. Our bare-metal dedicated servers offer the best choice for your databases.
The database — an engine for your project
As cloud technology evolves, and the number of applications and use cases increase tenfold, your databases must adapt and offer short processing times. In addition to the performance required, the volume of data to manage involves having a high storage capacity.
By choosing a dedicated server to host your databases, you can separate different elements of your infrastructure. Modify them, add new nodes and relations without interfering with your applications, and get more flexibility.
Better performance
We offer several server configurations to meet your database’s processing and storage requirements. With RAM, processors and storage designed for intensive resource usage, select the most suitable resources for your project. We carefully select our components to offer you the raw, reliable performance you need for database processing.
High availability anywhere in the world
Our dedicated servers offer high availability guaranteed by a service level agreement (SLA). Our network of datacentres spans across the globe, so you can host your machines as close as possible to your users, offering them minimal latency. You can also build your infrastructure to cover the specific geographical areas you want to target.
Data security
Your data is precious, and at the heart of your business — which is why it deserves the ultimate care and security. Our datacentres are ISO 27001, 27017, 27018, 27701 and HDS/HIPAA certified (for hosting healthcare data). As a European cloud provider, we are committed to and compliant with GDPR standards. Furthermore, we are not subject to foreign legislations such as the CLOUD Act.
Scalability
Our global network offers resilience to meet your needs. With OVHcloud Connect, you can mount your cluster and create a very high-bandwidth private network, regardless of which datacentre you choose. You get an infrastructure distributed across several nodes.
