RICHMOND – Governor Terry McAuliffe announced today that OVH, the leading cloud provider in Europe, will invest $47 million to establish its North American headquarters and first U.S. data center in Fauquier County. The company will install dark fiber infrastructure in an existing facility in the Vint Hill Business Park. Virginia successfully competed against North Carolina for the project, which will create 54 new jobs in Fauquier County.Governor McAuliffe and other Virginia officials met with OVH leadership during a June 2015 trade and marketing mission to Europe.

“OVH’s decision to establish its North American headquarters in Virginia after meetings and discussions in Europe and Virginia further solidifies the Commonwealth’s global standing as the top player in the flourishing data center sector,” said Governor McAuliffe. “Thanks to our competitive IT infrastructure and skilled workforce, Fauquier County will be home to one of the most elite cloud providers in the world. OVH is a tremendous addition to the nearly 600 data processing and hosting centers in the Commonwealth, and we are proud that the company is part of our ongoing success in building a new Virginia economy.”

“OVH is the leading cloud provider in Europe, and we are honored the company has chosen Fauquier County as its U.S. home,” said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Todd Haymore. “This significant project is a win-win, as OVH will invest in infrastructure enhancements to the Vint Hill Business Park, opening access to the development of nearly 150 acres with increased fiber, sewer, water and electrical capacity. It is exciting to watch Virginia grow as a leader in the data center industry, which has accounted for more than 7,600 jobs and $9 billion in capital investment since 2005.”

Really excited to hear about this. Northern Virginia is the epicenter of so many data centers and it is fairly close to me. As someone who has been considering OVH for my next server, this is definitely the location I would go with. I prefer to keep all my data inside the U.S., too.
