Using a provider is an alternative to managing your own physical cross-connect (Direct connection). ## Why use a provider? | Benefit | Description | | ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **No co-location required** | You don't need equipment in the same data centre as OVHcloud. The provider bridges the gap. | | **Simplified ordering** | The provider handles the physical connection, cross-connects, and often provides a portal to manage everything. | | **Dynamic provisioning** | Many providers offer on-demand connections that can be set up in minutes through their platform. | | **Multi-cloud connectivity** | Many providers also connect to AWS, Azure, GCP, and others — ideal for multi-cloud architectures. | | **Managed services** | Providers may offer additional support, monitoring, and SLAs on top of OVHcloud's own guarantees. | ## Choosing the right provider Consider the following: - **Geography** — Is the provider present at your location and at the OVHcloud PoP you want to use? - **Existing relationship** — Do you already use a provider for other cloud connections? Consolidating simplifies management. - **Connection speed** — Confirm the bandwidth options available (typically from 50 Mbps to 50 Gbps). - **Provisioning model** — Some providers offer instant, portal-based provisioning; others require manual coordination. - **Additional services** — Look for monitoring, SLA guarantees, and multi-cloud features. ## Supported providers OVHcloud partners with the global network providers listed below. :::info **Note:** The list of supported providers may evolve over time.
