OVH is kinda the low-end option when it comes to cloud computing. Azure/Google/Amazon are the top, then there's Digital Ocean/Vultr/Linode in the middle, with OVH just a step above the lovable junk on LowEndBox. It was interesting then to read a brief interview with OVH's CEO in an Australian blog, ARN, outlining their plan to spend a few million bucks to build a water-cooled data centre in a NextDC building in Sydney and fill it with 10,000 servers. According to the CEO their watercooling tech is what keeps operating costs lower than rivals that use air conditioning. I just wish they'd speed up their control panel. It's so damn slow to the point of unusable. At least it's cheap.
