If anyone is affected and needs temporary backup storage or anything else, please contact us. We are willing to offer some of our services free of charge for some period.
Still moving failover IPs is stuck
bad dream this, i already restore affected services from backups to elsewhere.. I cant understand how can whole datacenter be destroyed by fire. Epic failure..
oh wow, this should be a nightmare for tenants at SBG. 😔
Rip my vps
Hope staff made it out safely. It seems like SBG2 is fully gone and if you didn't have backups, you're toast.

wonder what's there to actually burn in these tin cans... with what did they isolate?
if you look at this vid don't get your hopes to have anything from "SBG2" recovered at all:
I hope everybody is safe.
Looking at the pictures, their data center was more of a truck container than a building.Σ(゚д゚;)
That’s why my favourite CSGO server was down sadpikachu.jpg
Yeah it's basically shipping containers. I recall they were marketing how cheap it was to build because of this. Very worrying the fire suppression either failed or was not sufficient.
Saw somewhere that halogen suppression systems aren't allowed or something?
Yeah no wonder why they recommended everyone to activate their business recovery plan
Yeah, concerns about the ozone layer I think.
Argonite / IG55 is completely legal in EU and largely deployed in professional datacenters.
I am looking for information about fire suppression system at OVH but cannot find any.
I have a server in BHS1 and a backup on BHS2. Could I be affected like this in the future or are those DCs very far away from each other?
update twitter:
Update 7:20am
Fire is over. Firefighters continue to cool the buildings with the water.
We don’t have the access to the site. That is why SBG1, SBG3, SBG4 won’t be restarted today.
Whatever it is, one thing is safe to say, it wasn't very effective
I think even if they're 10 miles apart you should have backups with different providers in different locations.
My public cloud instances in SBG are also removed from my control panel.
Let's pray and hope everybody there is safe!!
Oh. Understandable. We don't have such restrictions yet here. Thank you for the information.
Ouch.
Literally last week bought a server from SYS at SBG, set it up, migrated a VM to Proxmox there.
Did not figure out how to do proper external backups from Proxmox yet.
Lesson learned.
It is going to be interesting to read the lessons learned in a few months once the root cause analysis is complete.
Does someone manage to move fail over IPs pointed to SBG ?
CEO Says Fire Has Destroyed OVH’s Strasbourg Data Center (SBG2)
https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/uptime/ceo-says-fire-has-destroyed-ovh-s-strasbourg-data-center-sbg2
Holy F... This seems first time in datacenters history that actual fire destroy it. I never heard of such incidents in the past.
Poor customers, now they will have to fight OVH in court
anyone know where the Kimsufi servers are located, I have a rest API hosted in a Kimsufi dedicated server and connections were intermittent last night, thought it was my internet connection, now thinking it could be related
Check your invoice - it might have the exact DC
