OVHcloud’s 20 October results report 250 MW of connected power and 140 MW in operation. The 110 MW difference gives it room to grow without building new sites, the company says.[1]
That figure describes connected power, not installed GPU capacity. In his accompanying letter, chief executive Octave Klaba describes adapting liquid cooling to newer GPUs and a supply chain able to respond to customer demand within days.[2]
The hardware between power and useful work
OVHcloud’s October 2025 Smart Datacenter announcement shows the physical chain involved. Waterblocks on processors carry heat into a closed water circuit. A cooling distribution unit serves several rack rows, with sensors monitoring pressure, speed and temperature. The outside cooler then rejects the heat.[3]
That design lets software adjust pumps, fans and valves as workloads and surroundings change. Its AI can choose different trade-offs between water and electricity use. The useful capacity of a site depends on this complete installation: servers, water circuits and outdoor heat removal working together.[3]
Hardware still requires investment. OVHcloud says it bought €49.5 million of memory and disk components in advance for its 2027 financial year.[1]
OVHcloud says 2027 will be the deployment phase of its redefined AI strategy. It plans to explain more at its 19 November AI summit.[1]
