    I think the only reason not to look at OVH Dedicated Servers is if you need something with higher resilience. It's important to remember that these are a single physical server and thus have the same risks of outage as if you deploy a single physical server anywhere else. Most VPS solutions (whether OVH or elsewhere) have all the failover and HA abstracted from you and so offer less administrative overhead. However in terms of the amount of compute, storage and RAM you can get for your dollar, you can't beat the value proposition of OVH, and coupled with that they will repair the hardware if it fails, your task is simply to ensure you've take appropriate backup steps, and understand your RTO and RPO and architect accordingly. If you can withstand a period of downtime, then a single dedicated server will go a long way!

    Scality
    The team in charge of implementing Scality has to be full stack in order to guarantee the correct functioning of the entire system. However, you have to think very carefully about the balance between servers and disks, perhaps adopting smaller fully populated servers instead of large semi-populated servers, which would mean that over time our disk updates will not have a fully useful life.

    Cons
    OVHcloud
    • Security options are pretty basic, we must use SOAR software alongside to secure the servers.

    • The overall packaging is not very good. I think it could be more efficient for installation.
    • There are many components in storage servers. This can generally be complex to understand, you have to be patient.

    Everything has been thought of - from the initial password secure portal, through to day to day management, you can do everything from the console easily. Remote KVM is on hand for those awful moments (if you have them - and we all have) where the server won't boot for some reason

    As an organization, it took us a while to understand the shift from a traditional black box SAN to software-defined storage, but now we are much more certain of what this means. The time invested and the resources were not very high, thanks on the one hand to the technical support and on the other to the coherence and good development of the platform.

    OVH Dedicated Servers are a different product so a direct comparison is difficult. In simple terms, both provide compute, memory and storage. However the EC2 instances offer significantly more in the way of resiliency in the event of a single hardware failure. However this comes at a price, and there is no way you could get 18TB of RAID5 style storage on HDD from a Public Cloud provider for the price of an OVH Dedicated Server

    Scality
    Due to the nature of our business we require extensive encryption and availability for sensitive customer data. The erasure encoding that Scality provides gives us the assurance that documents are rest are never in a state of being downloaded or available to a casual data thief. This is something that can be found with other vendors but at a fraction of the same cost. Having this kind of performance, availability and redundancy at the cost that Scality provides has made a large difference to our organization.

    • Keeping sensitive customer data secure is a must for our organization and Scality has great features to make this happen.
    • We replaced a single SAN with a Scality ring and found performance to improve as we store more and more customer data.
    • Being able to lose various portions of our Scality ring and allow it to continue to service customers while maintaining high performance has been key to our business.
