OVHcloud expands enterprise offerings in AI and quantum
At the OVHcloud Summit in Paris today, the company introduced a series of service expansions focused on artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
The new offerings target enterprise clients aiming to develop digital twins, harness high-performance inference infrastructure, accelerate software adaptation for agentic AI, and explore quantum computing resources.
Quantum computing
The newly introduced Quantum Platform offers the first European Quantum-as-a-Service solution, according to the company.
Already in use by over 1,000 users via quantum emulators, the platform now provides access to Pasqal's 100-qubit Orion Beta quantum processing unit. OVHcloud said it intends to increase this capacity with additional systems, seven of which will be European-based, by the end of 2027.
"Quantum computing will redefine economic frontiers through unprecedented computing and simulation power. OVHcloud is positioning itself at the forefront of these breakthroughs and bringing the entire ecosystem with it," said Octave Klaba, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, OVHcloud.
Professional digital twins
The company's OmisimO AI chat now runs on the open source SHAI coding agent. This enables developers to build and manage AI agents that deliver everyday operational tasks, acting as professional digital twins in a secure environment.
AI infrastructures
In partnership with AI Inference tech firm SambaNova, OVHcloud is deploying accelerators for large-scale inference applications. These new infrastructures, based on Reconfigurable Data Units (RDUs), are designed to handle both high-throughput and low-latency workloads requiring substantial computational power. Such hardware looks to support organisations running parallel AI agent processes, where consistent performance is required for a large number of threads.
"Three major shocks have recently upended long-held assumptions: Europe's political awakening to its digital dependency, the determination of European businesses to regain technological autonomy, and the revolution brought about by AI," added Klaba. "Everyone now recognises that generating demand is essential to enabling the emergence of digital champions."
SaaS program
OVHcloud is also launching a collaboration program targeted at software-as-a-service (SaaS) vendors. Activities will include developer training, collaborative code sharing, hackathons, and facilitating integration with the OmisimO marketplace to broaden the distribution of finished tools.
Expansion plans
Alongside technology launches, the company is pursuing international development by opening a 3-AZ (availability zone) region in Berlin. This expansion follows previous data centre investments in Paris and Milan, aimed at strengthening service increases for clients in Germany and throughout the European regions the company services.
"A collective approach is essential to successfully delivering ambitious projects. Our ecosystem brings together digital starters and digital scalers, as well as public institutions and large listed companies, both in France and internationally. Our services and solutions support them and foster collaboration that drives society's digital transformation," said Klaba.
