Hello Arnaud,

thanks for your reply.

Yes OVH has pretty large dedicated servers too.

My main concern is about networking Vrack speed to choose, they offer 1Gbps on middle class Advance servers to 25Gbps on High end Scale servers.

And for sure storage nodes will need higher bandwidth than control nodes.

Any suggestion on minimal bandwidth requirement per type of node?

Thank you.

Hello,

That's a hard question. The answer mostly depends on what hardware you will use, how many instances and computes you plan to have, etc.

But, there is no reason that prevent you to successfully run an OpenStack infrastructure on OVH servers.

As you said, the OVH public cloud offer is based on OpenStack and it works.
And even if the hardware used for this offer is different from the one you will find in public catalog, there is no major difference in how they manage the servers (a server is a server ;)).

Regards,
Arnaud (from ovh / public cloud team)

Hello all,

I know that OVH uses Openstack to offer their public cloud services.

I would like to know if someone was able to use their dedicated servers to build a private cloud based on Openstack.

Do you think OVH dedicated server hardware + Vrack can provide sufficient requirements for a production environment?

Thank you.
