No, but near it.
@vahe, NO, do a traceroute and you will see where it is located.

The pricing to America will be $79/month, or $69/month if paid annually. Europeans will pay the same as a SP Mini 2012 in France - €49.99/£44.99 (edit: +VAT where applicable).
There are no Kimsufi servers in Beauharnois - people who had the alpha servers (4GB Atoms) should have had theirs shut off by now and those servers will be used for free trials. They want to position themselves as somehow 'premium' - I can't see how they're going to pull it off, especially since they didn't seem to have worked out all the kinks in their network as of a couple of weeks ago when I had one of these 16GB freebies.
But mostly I'm grumpy because I wanted a Kimsufi in Canada :P
I think Google has some of their stuff awfully close to whatever datacentre iWeb keeps their stuff in.
@sspy: Yeah, that's pretty much par for the course. All the offers OVH has been doing like this run out within 3-4 seconds of the start of the offer.
In Finland this price is 61,50 € (incl. VAT 23 %).

mtl = Montreal, where OVH has networking equipment in an existing datacentre (because there's nothing in Beauharnois itself for them to connect to.) The code they use for datacentre the servers are in is "bhs". Google Maps says it's only ~40 km by road, hence the low pings.
Yeah, I should've made clear that price was excluding tax (which is how OVH show it where they're not required to include it, the misleading buggers). I forgot because I'm outside the EU (so no VAT) but I have to pay OVH in Euros.
Meh, Datashack and FDC is still cheaper then OVH than I guess.
$70 for a OVH?
Nah, I rahter stick to DataShack, VolumeDrive and ServerStadium.
Brace for impact. It may be imperfect, but even without the kimsufi line I think OVH is going to really stir the pot in North America. Good old fashioned competition, but on quite the massive scale. We'll all see a significant shift in the market from this over the next two years I predict.
unless they fix up the network, i still see ds/vd/joe's as king in the low end dedi market in the US
A few people we kind enough to run some benchmarks (thanks @ElliotJ & @fly):
http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2012/08/01/anJEBcKP4BVvBO1D
network is still fishy, but the cpu is good, and the dd tests are good
The tracert is curious actually:
I wouldn't think they'd route this via Europe, the latency would be much higher?
Also a much better connection to SmartDC than their own DC in Paris, trololo.
I forgot to mention – I'm running a Minecraft server on mine now, which would somewhat befoul benchmarks, but if there's anything anyone particularly wants to see results of, I can provide.
I'd like to consider this system for a vps node (after their launch, obviously), obviously not a huge quantity with the CPU though. Those benchmarks aren't bad. The drives seem pretty good. Surely the routing is the biggest concern that I see.
The real savings is in the memory and drives for the price as I see it. I wonder what they'd charge later to add two drives.
Don't take this post as meaning I'm going to do any of the above, only that I'm open to it
The specs aren't bad. The pricetags are awesome. The network is probably getting worked on (I mean come on, its beta). And its free for a month for OVH to test.
I'd say besides for this being a pretty damn solid marketing strategy, its also a great place to get your server up without too much of a hassle.
Now, one problem this could bring though is more summer hosts
>
A migration every one month :P
Minecraft Forum's is pretty much flooded with these.
Is sad.
Comes with 1 IP only
Price still better on OVH CA U$69 for this specs Doubled/Triple DataShack. I give it a try after beta, networking must be in improve process, now pick 9MB to Hetzner Germany not bad at all.
@Alex_LiquidHost @HalfEatenPie Try IP Failover in Manager you have 3 availables.
Only 1 IP? Virtual host subdomain vps. Do it!
I'm sure they'll allow IP orders. Maybe not yet.
I just finished my FreeBSD & Root on ZFS setup by using OVH's vKVM.
Just getting 1 myself.
Woop, I got mine earlier.
Set my alarm, had my information in the forms already before 9am so I could submit it at 9am. First form 'an error had occured' upon submit, luckily I had another tab open ready to go with my information all set in already.
There was only a 4 minute window of opportunity to nab one of these, they went fast.
@MannDude: and for the price tag of free, its pretty rockin'
I'm here at 9pm lol. Already start filling captcha at 8.59pm. (-_-)
Anyone want a VPS on my box?
