Scality and OVHcloud have announced a joint storage platform intended to support European data sovereignty while meeting the requirements of AI workloads.

The platform combines object storage software with cloud-native infrastructure and can be deployed either on premises via OVHcloud’s On-Prem Cloud Platform or as a dedicated cloud environment. It includes multi-availability zone replication and integration with backup and cyber resilience tools.

The system is designed to allow organisations to process data locally, which may reduce latency and support compliance when handling sensitive information such as medical or financial records. It also includes off-site backup options using OVHcloud’s Bare Metal infrastructure, with dedicated servers intended to provide isolation and predictable performance.

Emilio Roman, chief revenue officer at Scality, said: “OVHcloud and Scality share the same conviction: sovereignty is not a barrier to innovation – it is the prerequisite. By combining our high-performance object storage with the OPCP platform, we empower companies to scale their AI projects without ever sacrificing control over their data.”

OVHcloud’s Sylvie Houliere-Mayca, added: “The OVHcloud OPCP platform was designed so that software vendors and their customers can benefit from the power of the cloud wherever they need it: on their own premises. Scality is the natural and recognised partner for high-performance storage solutions for the most critical data. Together, OVHcloud and Scality provide a sovereign infrastructure backed by more than 25 years of OVHcloud expertise and ready for AI.”
