"... OVH first announced its intentions to enter North America in 2012 and launched the Quebec
facility (its second in the region) last January with capacity for 360,000 servers. The OVH team
built two hosting towers of 10,000 servers each within six months of opening. The third
operational phase brings another 10,000 servers. ..."
Maybe there will be some stock for a little while.

Title threw me off, I thought they're moving the hosting towers with some sort of crane or something and they dropped it
@nexmark, Title edited to reduce mass paranoia. Thanks for pointing that out, however, that is how they have the article titled. Shocked me a bit reading it at first as well!
Am I the only one that read it as they setup a monster 10,000 VPS container node...
I now feel disappointed.
Wait that's pretty old news. When OVH Canada launched they pushed 10.000 dedicated servers for free for one month via Twitter and their Canada homepage. I had one.
@SandwichBagGhost - I read this as a newly announced expansion, as they just added another 10,000 servers to their Canada DC.
@wych - With them calling them server towers, I can see where that idea comes from, however, they are towers as in the physical structure that handle the servers themselves.
Only until I remembered their love for shipping containers
You know Google does this too, right?
