OVH Cloud: RBX Campus Data Center

The RBX Campus Data Center is OVHcloud’s historic and flagship data center campus, located in Roubaix, in northern France near the Belgian border. As the company’s original hyperscale development, the RBX campus represents the foundation of OVHcloud’s global infrastructure platform and continues to serve as a critical hub for public cloud, bare metal, private cloud, and hosting services across Europe.

Strategically positioned within the Lille metropolitan region, RBX benefits from strong cross-border connectivity to Paris, Brussels, London, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt. The campus plays a key role in delivering low-latency services throughout Western Europe while supporting strict European data sovereignty and regulatory requirements.

Designed using OVHcloud’s proprietary engineering approach, RBX integrates in-house server manufacturing, water-cooling technologies, and energy-efficient infrastructure. The campus is purpose-built for high-density cloud environments while maintaining strong operational resilience and sustainability principles.
