European cloud provider OVHcloud has launched a Local Zone Edge location in Dublin, Ireland.
"The opening of our new Local Zone in Dublin is the next step in our plan to bring better support to Irish businesses of all kinds,” said Emma Dennard, VP Northern Europe, OVHcloud. “Although we’ve been working with companies in the region for some time, we’re very happy to have a physical footprint in the city of Dublin itself.”
Announced last year and powered by technology acquired from Gridscale, the company rolled out more than a dozen locations across 2024.
The company launched the service in February 2024 with two locations: Madrid, Spain, and Brussels, Belgium. It has since expanded across Amsterdam, Milan, Marseille, Madrid, Brussels, Luxembourg, Stockholm, Prague, Vienna, and Zurich. Four more zones are due to launch in Scandinavia this year.
OVH also launched multiple Local Zones in the US – including New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Denver, Miami, Palo Alto, and Los Angeles – and opened a previously announced zone in Rabat, Morocco, in partnership with Maroc DC.
The group expects to have a total of 42 Local Zones available by August 2025 and plans to have 100 locations worldwide within the next two years.
Another seven are due to launch in Europe according to the company’s website, with plans to expand further in the US and Africa, and launch the service in South America, the Middle East, and APAC.
The company hasn’t said what facilities the zones’ infrastructure sits in.
OVH has more than 30 data centers in operation and under construction in France, Canada, the US, Australia, Germany, Poland, Singapore, India, Italy, and the UK. These are a mix of self-built and leased locations.
