I just recently started moving some services for my business to one of OVH's US-based data centers. Should I take this fire as evidence that OVH is incompetent and get out? I really don't want AWS, or the big three hyperscalers in general, to be the only option.
- lenartowski 6y agoIMO you should take this fire as evidence, that you need to have (working!) backups wherever you host your data. AWS, GCP Azure are not fire resistant, same as OVH. I don't know if OVH is more or less competent than big three, I choose to trust no one.

- Symbiote 6y agoThis thread has people saying they have sprinklers, don't have sprinklers, have / don't have gas suppression, and have puppies / actually have toilets. Wait for the misinformation hose to dry up, and decide in a few weeks. https://us.ovhcloud.com/about/company/security https://us.ovhcloud.com/about/company/security
