OVHcloud announces the acquisition of Seald, a French company focused on end-to-end encryption technologies. This is a major step forward in OVHcloud’s strategy to offer a trusted Cloud, combining security and regulatory compliance for the most critical use cases. With Seald, OVHcloud can integrate a cutting-edge technical building block for securing data through a “zero knowledge” model. 

Through this model, content is encrypted before being sent and can only be deciphered by the final receiving users on their devices. Neither the hoster, the editor, nor a system administrator can access this information. 

Encryption technology made simple for web apps and mobiles
The SDK developed by Seald benefits from the CSPN security visa delivered by the ANSSI, the French Cybersecurity Agency. It allows for quick integration of end-to-end encryption in web apps and mobile apps, with no expertise in advanced encryption required. The solutions allow for the management of access rights, encryption key rotation, multi-device management, and secure retrieval of private keys.

Reinforcing OVHcloud’s commitment to securing customer data
Through this acquisition, OVHcloud can natively integrate end-to-end encryption into its catalogue, complementing existing security propositions (Secret Manager, KMS, HSM) to offer a complete protection chain, from the backend to the user terminal. 

This acquisition will allow organisations:

• To design a differentiating technological offering to answer high-sensitivity use cases,
• To enrich and accelerate the development of ultra-secure solutions aimed at businesses and public organisations. 

At Choose France – France Edition, OVHcloud, a global player and the European Cloud leader, announces the launch of its Quantum Platform, the first European Quantum-as-a-Service solution (QaaS). It will provide access to at least eight of the most advanced quantum computers, including the Pasqal Orion Beta QPU, available now. By facilitating access to quantum technologies, OVHcloud is now enabling organisations to prepare for the most complex technological challenges.

The platform that facilitates the adoption of quantum technology by businesses

Quantum computing can solve problems and use cases that are far too complex for traditional approaches. The cloud is key in making these advanced technologies accessible, democratizing quantum computing and facilitating its adoption without specialized infrastructure. With the launch of its Quantum Platform, OVHcloud now offers businesses and public organisations access to quantum technology from Pasqal, a pioneer in neutral atom computing, giving customers the opportunity to benefit from a 100-qubit system.

An ecosystem offering an innovative range of quantum technologies

This announcement is part of OVHcloud’s commitment to contributing to the creation of a European quantum ecosystem. As early as 2022, the Group laid the groundwork by launching its first quantum emulator, available in a specialised environment. Today, no fewer than nine quantum emulators are available on OVHcloud infrastructures, representing the widest range of European quantum emulators, with nearly a thousand users. With the launch of the first European Quantum-as-a-Service solution using Pasqal’s QPU, OVHcloud is expanding its offering to include both emulators, enabling users to try out different quantum computing models, and real quantum computers accessible on demand. After Pasqal, OVHcloud plans to integrate eight other QPUs, including seven from European suppliers, by the end of 2027.

 OVHcloud today unveils a new cooling architecture for its datacenters. The OVHcloud Smart Datacenter combines new industrial designs with AI features, reducing both power and water consumption and enabling datacenters to intelligently react to their surrounding environments. Through this new technology, OVHcloud is able to reduce water consumption by up to 30% and cooling electricity consumption by up to 50%.

Cooling infrastructure electrical consumption reduced by 50%

In development for the past two years, the fifth generation of the OVHcloud server rack has been redesigned to host a new generation of servers and supercharge the Group commitment to a sustainable Cloud. The most significant change is the server layout where clusters of servers are connected in serial when it comes to their cooling, with servers for each cluster being still organized in parallel thus facilitating maintenance. This new design streamlines component layouts including the location of the inrack CDU and helps reduce power consumption at the rack level.

Smart and autonomous, the rack behaves in a “pull” hydraulic configuration so that each server has the right water flow and pressure for its cooling needs. Hardware components such as CPU and GPU are cooled through direct-to-chip waterblocks designed by OVHcloud, dissipating heat through a closed looped water circuit that extends to a single cooling loop across the whole datacenter.

The Cooling Module (also called CDU) is now approximately 50% more compact and is located outside the rack. It can cool down several rows of racks and features more than 30 sensors. These sensors monitor elements from the racks including pressure, speed and water temperature and can adjust cooling settings in real time. The sensors enable the rack to be ‘aware’ of its immediate surroundings and datacenter temperatures and the smart cooling module can automatically adjust to server workloads. This optimization greatly extends the lifespan of the equipment and helps to optimize infrastructure power consumption.

The Smart Dry Cooler, located on the outside, is the last cooling component of the closed water loop. It now takes up half the space and has half the number of fans as the previous generation of equipment. This helps reduce cooling power consumption by up to 50% while also reducing ambient noise level.

Reduced water consumption by up to 30% through AI

By constantly analyzing its surroundings and the behavior of key components, new OVHcloud Smart Racks not only regulate themselves but also collect operational data. Data coming from the racks, cooling modules and Dry Coolers are fed into a datalake so that complex algorithms can determine predictive behaviors, contributing to optimized maintenance. The system can also be connected to a local weather station to enrich the datalake. The new models can predict and inject the exact volume of water that is needed by the adiabatic cooling pads of the Dry Cooler to allow for outside heat exchange.

The new dry cooler design accounts for a 30% reduction of water consumption, which has the potential to significantly improve OVHcloud’s already-compelling WUE ratio. Unlike traditional adiabatic systems, the OVHcloud cooling pad does not feature a recirculation loop: complex hydraulic units such as pumps, tanks and level sensors have been eliminated, reducing infrastructure complexity and simplifying maintenance.

Predictive and adaptative AI for the datacenter and the environment

The OVHcloud Smart Racks’ predictive AI can now anticipate and react to operational dimensions at the infrastructure level including the pump speed (and thus the water flow), the speed of the fans and the opening of valves to optimize configuration rapidly.

Rack performances can also be adjusted based on external constraints such as noise limits, water scarcity or power cost. The algorithm can choose to consume more power to favor water preservation or adjust sound levels to adapt to urban environments.

Spearheading a sustainable Cloud for more than 25 years, OVHcloud leverages a vertically integrated industrial model that contributes to responsible digital technology. At the heart of the Group’s many innovations are the research and development department which now has a hundred cooling patents. OVHcloud R&D has shaped water cooling at scale since 2003 so that the Group datacenters benefit from PUE and WUE indices among the best in the industry.

These new developments follow the Group’s commitments to the coalition for sustainable AI in February 2025. The new infrastructure deployed by OVHcloud in its data centers demonstrate the use of artificial intelligence firmly committed to furthering sustainability across the globe.

Availability

New OVHcloud Smart Racks are currently being deployed at the Roubaix data center in a room filled with nearly 60 racks and 2,000 servers accompanied by its new cooling system. The entire system is expected to be rolled out across the Group’s data centers.

 OVHcloud, a global cloud player and the European cloud leader, has announced that it is increasing the security of its hosted websites using quantum computing. The Group has redesigned the process of generating SSL certificates (a file used for encryption and server authentication) for its clients, using the unique properties of quantum computers to generate unpredictable random numbers.

OVHcloud, a member of the Internet Security Research Group, has long supported efforts to help developers make the web safer. As a result, hosted websites will automatically receive SSL certificates from Let’s Encrypt. These certificates now offer enhanced protection thanks to the use of quantum-generated random numbers (quantum entropy). This technology strengthens the reliability of encryption keys and ensures the confidentiality of exchanges.

Traditionally, the generation of random numbers in electronic circuits can, over time, exhibit bias and predictability, which could weaken computer security due to various factors. Quantum physics, on the other hand, can generate truly unpredictable random numbers, thanks to photon entanglement. This Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG) technology was developed using Quandela’s quantum computer, which OVHcloud acquired. OVHcloud’s patented innovation, known as the ‘certifiable hazard’, exemplifies the Group’s R&D efforts.

OVHcloud is thus becoming the first cloud player in the world to use quantum computing in its SSL certificates to enhance the security of hosted websites. These new certificates are already being deployed and will be offered free of charge to all of the Group’s web clients. Compatible with the entire current web browser ecosystem, they help to strengthen the trusted cloud. In total, nearly five million websites hosted by OVHcloud will benefit from QRNG by the end of October 2025.
