In light of the recent news about the OVH fire which destroyed four halls of SBG1, as well as all of SBG2 it shows that even those who feel they have prepared can miss important details.
On the 10th March 2021, OVHCloud suffered a devastating fire which caused much more damage than first thought.
As well as destroying the whole of the SBG2 data centre, the fire destroyed four rooms out of 12 in the adjacent SBG1 data centre. Power to all four data centres on the site is off, and the UPS at SBG3 has been shut down according to OVH’s status page for the incident. OVHCloud are hoping to bring the power back online to SBG1 and SGB4 on Monday, 15th March but it will take until Friday 19th March to restore the UPS at SGB3.
