OVH Cloud: SBG5 Data Center

The SBG3 Data Center is part of OVHcloud’s Strasbourg campus, one of the company’s largest and most strategically important European cloud hubs. Located in Strasbourg, near the French-German border, SBG3 plays a central role in OVHcloud’s global infrastructure footprint, delivering large-scale public cloud, private cloud, bare metal, and colocation services.

Strasbourg is a key digital corridor in continental Europe, offering strong cross-border connectivity, proximity to major financial and industrial centers, and access to multiple Tier 1 network routes. SBG3 supports OVHcloud’s vertically integrated infrastructure model, where the company designs and operates its own servers, networking equipment, and cooling systems.

Purpose-built for scalability and cost efficiency, SBG3 is engineered to support high-density compute workloads while aligning with OVHcloud’s long-standing focus on energy efficiency and optimized hardware utilization.
