Businesses across Europe and the Middle East now have a powerful new option for deploying hybrid multicloud environments with the launch of Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on OVHcloud. This expanded partnership delivers a platform that directly addresses the growing demand for European data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and sustainable infrastructure. Organizations can leverage this solution to build resilient, modern cloud strategies while keeping sensitive data within European legal jurisdictions.
The collaboration arrives at a pivotal moment as many companies reevaluate their IT infrastructure, particularly in the wake of Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware. Enterprises are actively seeking flexible, trustworthy alternatives for workload migration and disaster recovery. Nutanix Cloud Clusters on OVHcloud provides a credible path forward, combining the operational simplicity of Nutanix software with OVHcloud’s high-performance, bare-metal servers and sovereign European data centers.
Sammy Zoghlami, Senior Vice President for EMEA at Nutanix, emphasized that this development significantly broadens customer choice. He stated that the offering empowers enterprises to construct a sustainable public cloud platform aligned with data sovereignty requirements. The partnership enables clients to protect vital workloads, facilitate cloud migration, and pursue modernization with greater confidence.
For any organization prioritizing compliance with European data regulations, the inclusion of NC2 within OVHcloud’s portfolio presents a compelling alternative. The joint platform merges proven Nutanix innovation with the assurance of OVHcloud’s European-owned infrastructure. This gives businesses enhanced flexibility to shift and scale applications, all while maintaining control to ensure data and critical operations stay within European borders.
Caroline Comet-Fraigneau, Chief Sales Officer at OVHcloud, noted that the strengthened alliance solidifies OVHcloud’s role as Europe’s sovereign cloud provider. She pointed out that modern enterprises demand trusted, transparent, and efficient solutions for their hybrid multicloud approaches, and Nutanix Cloud Clusters on OVHcloud meets that need by delivering performance and sovereignty through a seamless user experience.
Beyond compliance, hybrid multicloud deployments can unlock significant return on investment through sustainability gains. A recent IDC White Paper, sponsored by Nutanix, illustrated how these environments can dramatically reduce environmental impact. Documented cases include one organization slashing its rack space requirements by up to 80%, while another cut carbon emissions by 200 metric tons annually. Both interviewed companies reported energy consumption reductions between 60% and 80%.
The integration between the two companies is designed for a smooth customer journey. OVHcloud now appears directly within the Nutanix account portal (My Nutanix), simplifying how users discover and activate NC2 services on the platform. The solution is built on OVHcloud’s high-performance, Nutanix-qualified bare-metal servers, blending operational simplicity with sustainable infrastructure. Additional advantages include OVHcloud’s European heritage, low-carbon data centers, and a predictable pricing model that notably avoids data egress fees.
Raif Abou Diab, Country Manager for South Gulf & Sub-Saharan Africa at Nutanix, observed that governments and enterprises in the Middle East are increasingly focused on digital sovereignty, sustainable innovation, and cost predictability. He confirmed that the availability of Nutanix Cloud Clusters on OVHcloud provides a sovereign, sustainable, and flexible multicloud alternative, enabling regional customers to modernize infrastructure, enhance compliance, and accelerate digital transformation initiatives securely.
The partnership already supports a diverse roster of European customers, demonstrating the market’s trust in the combined offering. Organizations are using Nutanix on OVHcloud to streamline hybrid cloud operations while simultaneously achieving sovereignty, sustainability, and cost-efficiency objectives.
Paul Bodet, CTO of the LFB Group, a biopharmaceutical company, explained that data sovereignty and compliance are non-negotiable. He said Nutanix Cloud Clusters on OVHcloud allows them to modernize infrastructure while keeping sensitive data in a trusted European cloud, simplifying operations, strengthening resilience, and enabling continued healthcare innovation with full confidence in security and compliance.
Hemant Lamba, CEO of Inetum Solutions, a digital services provider, added that their mission is to help enterprises simplify and accelerate their hybrid cloud journey. He stated that with this solution, they can offer clients a sovereign, cost-effective alternative supported by seamless operations across on-premises and cloud environments, enhancing their ability to deliver modernization projects with greater speed, predictability, and confidence.
