OVH Cloud: RBX5 Data Center

The RBX5 Data Center is part of OVHcloud’s flagship Roubaix campus in northern France, one of the company’s largest and most established infrastructure hubs. Located near Lille and within close proximity to Paris, Brussels, and London, RBX5 plays a critical role in OVHcloud’s European cloud and hosting operations.

As part of the Roubaix (RBX) cluster, RBX5 supports OVHcloud’s global public cloud, private cloud, bare metal, and hosting platforms. The facility is engineered according to OVHcloud’s vertically integrated model, where the company designs and manufactures its own servers, network components, and cooling systems to optimize performance, cost efficiency, and environmental sustainability.

RBX5 benefits from strong regional fiber connectivity, proximity to major European internet exchanges, and a location within one of Europe’s most densely interconnected corridors.
