OVHcloud, the European cloud firm, has been named a major player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Public Cloud Infrastructure as a Service 2022 Vendor Assessment. The IDC MarketScape evaluated 13 companies to assess strategies and capabilities.
According to the IDC MarketScape report, “OVHcloud has attractive and transparent pricing (e.g., it does not bill for API calls). It also has valuable service adjacency given it also offers dedicated private servers, web hosting, and hosted private clouds. This helps make it a one-stop shop for companies still early in their journey to the public cloud, as they can start the transition with OVHcloud using older deployment models and then maintain the same commercial relationship if and when they decide to move those workloads.”
The report also notes, “OVHcloud's roots as a European service provider also puts the company in the catbird seat for conversations about sovereign cloud and data residency, and indeed, it has baked these factors into its development approach for years. It has also made sustainability a strong focus for many years.”
From a portfolio standpoint, the IDC MarketScape notes the recent investments in building out software services higher up the stack in areas. These include artificial intelligence, machine learning, databases, and container orchestrations while continuing to court partners focused on commercial and open-source software to build its ecosystem.
IDC MarketScape vendor assessment model is designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of ICT (information and communications technology) suppliers in a given market. The research methodology utilises a rigorous scoring methodology based on qualitative and quantitative criteria, resulting in a single graphical illustration of each vendor's position within a given market.
IDC MarketScape provides a clear framework in which the product and service offerings, capabilities and strategies, and IT and telecommunications vendors' current and future market success factors can be meaningfully compared. The framework also provides technology buyers with a 360-degree assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of current and prospective vendors.
