As some said, OVH has datacenters in Quebec, Canada.
They plan to open several new ones in the coming months in the US (I think California has been officially annouced) and others countries are planned.
They raised several hundreds millons of syndicated loans in 2014/2015, to build additional capacity in North America and Europe.
Rumors[1] of potential asian & australian locations also abound, but no clear sign of it yet.

- _Codemonkeyism 10y agoI'm mainly interested in EU SaaS (because being in the EU). For EU companies - the verdict is still out - EU locations of US companies might not be enough. One reason why Microsoft lets Azure in Germany be run by Dt. Telekom.
- karambahh 10y agoMany of our customers start including request to the effect of "hosting in the EU, preferably operated by a EU based company". AFAIK, one of the reasons OVH had for not setting shop in the US a few years back, but choosing Canada instead was to not expose its flank to possible actions by US agencies. They even feared "contamination" to their EU based datacenters. I guess either the law has changed or their lawyers found their way through the arcanes of international law, since they are now officialy planning to open a datacenter in the US.
