OVH Cloud: BHS2 Data Center
About BHS2 Data Center
The BHS2 Data Center is part of OVHcloud’s flagship Beauharnois campus in Québec, Canada — one of the largest hyperscale data center campuses in North America. Strategically located near Montréal and powered by Québec’s abundant hydroelectric energy resources, BHS2 delivers high-performance, energy-efficient infrastructure designed to support public cloud, private cloud, bare metal, and enterprise workloads.
The Beauharnois campus benefits from direct access to low-cost, renewable hydroelectric power generated by Hydro-Québec. This enables OVHcloud to maintain competitive pricing and industry-leading energy efficiency while aligning with sustainability objectives. BHS2 operates within a large-scale, modular campus environment built to support rapid expansion and high-density compute deployments.
Designed around OVHcloud’s vertically integrated model — including proprietary server design and water-cooling technologies — BHS2 supports scalable cloud and bare metal environments with optimized operational efficiency.
