OVHcloud has opened a new ‘Local Zone’ in Dublin. The Local Zone uses technology from gridscale, an OVHcloud company, and enables organisations to deploy low-latency cloud services from a European provider.

“The opening of our new Local Zone in Dublin is the next step in our plan to bring better support to Irish businesses of all kinds,” said Emma Dennard, VP Northern Europe, OVHcloud. “Although we’ve been working with companies in the region for some time, we’re very happy to have a physical footprint in the city of Dublin itself.”

The Local Zone in Dublin offers services including Compute, Object Storage, Block Storage and Networking. OVHcloud’s Local Zone roadmap includes approximately a hundred openings within the next two years, with four deployments in the Scandinavian region planned for 2025.

OVHcloud Local Zones give organisations peace of mind that data will be resident in the same country, complying with regulations and handled in a way that meets local expectations. The Zones offer single-digit millisecond latency to most companies in the country and are particularly effective for latency-sensitive applications like streaming or real-time analytics.

The Dublin Local Zone follows other openings in Brussels, Amsterdam, Madrid and Milan, as well as further sites across America and Europe.
