Q . HOW IS SUSTAINABILITY CURRENTLY DRIVING BEST PRACTICES IN CLOUD COMPUTING ?

» Many cloud providers have established clear objectives for sustainable operations that include everything from the impact of individual components to optimising water , energy and carbon use .

As a global infrastructure provider , OVHcloud was among the first to integrate advanced water-cooling technology , and those early investments have become a cornerstone of our sustainability efforts for over 20 years .
Our progress toward climate neutrality and managing our environmental impact across every aspect of our business has naturally evolved into the establishment of best practices in three main areas of focus :
