On October 1, 2024, OVHcloud introduced Bare Metal Pod, a new sovereign offering from its “Bare metal” program, which relies on servers allocated to a single client. Currently undergoing SecNumCloud 3.2 certification (expected by early 2025), this offering combines the security of a dedicated server with the sovereign qualification from ANSSI.
Each Bare Metal Pod client has access to a secure and fully isolated rack. “There is no risk of a neighbor affecting your bandwidth or trying to attack your machines: you are alone on your rack,” says OVHcloud.
The company also notes that all of its SecNumCloud-qualified offerings are hosted in three dedicated datacenters in France: Gravelines, Roubaix, and Strasbourg, “ensuring compliance with ANSSI’s highest security standards.”
“The Bare Metal Pod offering is designed to meet the demands of industrial protection, strict GDPR compliance, and sensitive data management, while adhering to government organization regulations,” OVHcloud adds. A first client, the French State’s financial IT agency (AIFE), has already subscribed to this ultra-secure solution to host its invoicing portal.
