Is OVHcloud's Standard 3-AZ (over 500 TiB) the best deal?

Object Storage · $0.01/mo

Competitively priced

OVHcloud's Standard 3-AZ tier is price-competitive at $0.01/GB/month, but all listed alternatives match or undercut this rate with similar hidden-cost profiles. The choice hinges on region availability, retrieval patterns, and whether you need multi-AZ redundancy or can tolerate single-zone storage.

Object Storage Standard One Zone

$0.01/mo

Identical per-GB rate, single-zone simplicity, and 75 GB free egress per month reduces bandwidth surprise costs compared to OVHcloud's region-limited multi-AZ model.

Caveat: Single availability zone means no built-in redundancy; Glacier restoration fees apply if you later migrate cold data.

Blob Storage Cool tier

$0.01/mo

Matches OVHcloud's rate with LRS (locally redundant storage) and 99.99% SLA; 100 GB free outbound bandwidth per month is more generous than OVHcloud's region-limited model.

Caveat: 30-day minimum storage duration and early-deletion penalties; 128 KiB minimum per object can inflate costs for many small files.

Cloud Storage Nearline storage

$0.01/mo

Matches base rate with 99.99% SLA and 200 GB free egress per month to certain destinations, better than OVHcloud's region lock-in.

Caveat: 30-day minimum storage duration, $0.01/GB retrieval fee, and sustained-use discounts are easy to miss; egress pricing varies by destination.

Object Storage Infrequent Access

$0.0102/mo

Marginally higher at $0.0102/GB but includes retrieval fees upfront in the tier design; 99.95% SLA and no region restrictions.

Caveat: Minimum retention period and per-GB retrieval fees ($0.0102/GB) apply; early-deletion penalties can compound costs for short-lived data.

Before you switch

OVHcloud's 3-AZ redundancy is a genuine advantage over single-zone competitors; verify whether your workload requires multi-AZ or if single-zone suffices.
All tiers carry early-deletion penalties and minimum storage durations (30-180 days); confirm your actual data lifecycle before committing.
Egress bandwidth is a hidden cost trap across all providers; OVHcloud's region limitation (Italy/France only) may lock you into higher egress costs if you need global distribution.
Retrieval fees vary: Azure and Google charge per-GB, Oracle charges per-GB, Scaleway charges per-GB for Glacier; model your access patterns.
Verify whether you need multi-region failover or compliance with specific geographic residency rules, which may justify OVHcloud's premium for 3-AZ.
