Sprinklers are only present in OVH Canada datacenter ! There are no sprinklers in Europe ones.
- mwcampbell 6y agoGiven that they're headquartered in Europe and most popular there, why is the satellite location better? Is it because the Canadian data center is newer, because Canada has stronger regulations in this area, or something else? Also, does anyone know how the OVH US data centers compare?
- sofixa 6y agoAccording to a 2013 forum post by the now CEO of Scaleway, a competitor of OVH, it's due to North American building regulations that basically force you into sprinklers and stuff for insurance reasons.
