OVHcloud and Crayon join forces to deploy cloud solutions worldwide

The new partnership will be made available across 45 regions

French cloud provider OVHcloud has teamed with Crayon to provide partners with cloud services around the world.

The agreement will make OVHcloud technology available through Crayon in 45 regions, excluding the US.

This alliance will give Crayon’s customers and partners access to OVHcloud’s sustainable and sovereign cloud solutions.

The Nordic reseller will also be able to tap into OVHcloud’s portfolio of bare metal servers and hosted private cloud options, such as VMware and Nutanix, as well as public cloud and PaaS solutions including managed Kubernetes.

OVHcloud customers and partners will gain the capacity to leverage Crayon’s advisory and cloud solutions.

“This partnership will enable organisations across the world to benefit from Crayon’s strategic and technical expertise, combined with OVHcloud’s infrastructure,” said Caroline Comet-Fraigneau, CSO at OVHcloud.

“Crayon, along with our broader partner community, is critical to our mission of empowering businesses with sustainable, sovereign cloud services with the best performance-price ratio.

“This is a key part of our growth strategy, and together we will enable businesses to build a cloud environment which suits them, using technologies and know-how from two trusted European technology powerhouses with a global reach.”

Erling Hesselberg, VP of enterprise software at Crayon, added that this partnership will allow the company to combine OVHcloud’s sovereign and sustainable cloud infrastructure with its expertise in software and advisory services.

“Together, we are uniquely positioned to help organisations navigate complex regulatory landscapes, optimise cost, and scale with confidence,” he explained.

“This collaboration marks a significant step forward in delivering choice, control, and compliance to our customers worldwide.”

The announcement comes two months after OVHcloud’s H1 FY25 results, in which the vendor reported a 10.3 per cent revenue rise, from €486.1m to €536m (£460.4m), propelled by its private and public cloud activities.

It already boasts a global presence, with over 450,000 servers in 44 datacentres across four continents, as well as 1,6 million customers in over 140 countries.
