European cloud provider OVHcloud has launched its third data center in Sydney, Australia.

The company this week said its new data center is equipped with the latest water-cooling technology and is optimized for mission-critical workloads.

Other details and specifications have not been shared, but it is likely within a leased facility.

OVHcloud’s Scale dedicated servers, powered by AMD and Intel processors, are also available at the data center.

Terry Maiolo, VP and general manager at OVHcloud APAC, said: “We are excited to bring our latest data center technology to Sydney, which deploys water cooling at scale and enables a sustainable cloud by design.”

He added: “With Australia as one of the most densely served economies by data centers per capita, this marks a pivotal development for Australian businesses as more organizations consider the sustainability of data centers on their radar.”

The company currently said it has 44 data centers spanning nine countries, with plans to add seven more data centers soon. These are a mix of self-built and leased locations in France, the US, Canada, Germany, Australia, Poland, Singapore, India, and the UK.

OVH launched its first Syndey facility – within an Equinix data center – in 2019. A second Sydney location – within a NextDC facility – followed in February 2021.

Earlier this year, OVHcloud added an eighth data center to its Canada portfolio, occupying space in the Ascent TOR1 data center in Toronto.

Last month, the company also launched a quantum computer in a data center in Croix, France, and powered up its data center in Mumbai, India. OVHcloud launched a multi-zone cloud region in Paris last month.
