OVHcloud / Scaleway
European cloud infrastructure that works with data protection, not against it.
OVHcloud and Scaleway are European cloud providers with data centres in the EU, particularly in France. They offer scalable infrastructure for applications, databases and services without your data having to leave the European legal sphere. That makes them a foundation for projects that want to combine scalability with data protection and digital independence.
How Conexa Digital uses it
For European cloud infrastructure, OVHcloud and Scaleway are among the providers we regularly consider at Conexa Digital. When a project demands EU data residency and independence from non-European corporations, we set up servers, services and databases on this foundation. Which provider fits best in a given case is decided by the requirements, the region and your specifications.
Why it matters to you
Anyone processing sensitive data benefits when the infrastructure is governed by European law and carries no non-European access risks. OVHcloud and Scaleway keep your data in the EU and thereby make GDPR-compliant processing easier. At the same time, they reduce dependence on a handful of global providers — a contribution to long-term digital sovereignty.
Frequently asked questions
What distinguishes OVHcloud and Scaleway from US cloud providers?
Both are European companies with data centres in the EU, governed by European law. Your data therefore remains within the European legal sphere, which eases GDPR-compliant processing and markedly reduces non-European access risks.
Is a European cloud automatically GDPR-compliant?
An EU location is an important foundation, but it does not replace correct configuration and contractual arrangements. Conexa Digital ensures privacy-compliant implementation during setup — the location creates the precondition; the execution determines the outcome.
Does Conexa Digital commit to one of these providers?
No. OVHcloud and Scaleway are two sovereign EU options among others in our toolkit. We choose infrastructure based on the specific need, the desired region and your requirements — and openly recommend whatever fits best.
