RAM Optimized instances for memory-intensive processing
Get high speed memory-intensive processing thanks to RAM Optimized instances, perfect for databases and memory-intensive applications, or RAM-intensive purposes.
Unlock the potential of your applications with high performance computing, and reduce costs with our cost-effective and transparent pricing.
High performance computing
Get cloud servers specially adapted for memory-intensive applications, with 8 GB RAM per vCPU ratio.
Harness the full power of your server. These instances have guaranteed resources, continuously allocated 100%.
An ecosystem for your applications
Get high availability and a 99.999% service level agreement (SLA) with our Memory Optimized instances. Build complex environments within a comprehensive, secure cloud ecosystem (IAM, private network, Load Balancer, Anti-DDoS).
NVMe disk for bandwidth
Unlike standard SSD disks, NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) drives use NAND flash memory cells to store data. With their PCI Express connectors, which until recently were only used by devices like graphic cards, the bottleneck created by the SATA connection is cleared.
ISO/IEC 27001, 27701 and healthcare data hosting compliance
Our cloud infrastructures and services are ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, 27018 and 27701 certified. These certifications ensure the presence of an information security management system (ISMS) for managing risks, vulnerabilities and implementing business continuity, as well as a privacy information management system (PIMS). Thanks to our health data hosting compliance, you can also host healthcare data securely.
Use cases
Distributed databases
Databases are often optimised to use a large amount of memory, reducing disk access as a result. RAM instances provide 8 GB RAM per vCore (excluding r2-15). These instances offer better conditions for faster query execution on a MySQL/Galera or MongoDB engine, for example.
Advanced scientific computing
Carry out complex, scientific analyses to get data or conclusions in record time (healthcare, scientific research or aerospace).

Your questions answered
What is the difference between the r2 and r3 ranges?
The r2 range comprises an Intel processor and correspond to our legacy instances. The r3 range is our latest instance range, with an AMD processor. You also get better network performance with the r3 range.
Can I migrate my current r2 instance to a new r3 instance?
Yes, you can migrate your r2 instance to an r3 instance. The size of the destination disk must be the same as that of the source model. In addition, your target instance must have at least the same storage capacity as your current instance.
How do I migrate my r2 instance to an r3 instance?
To migrate your r2 instance to an r3 instance, you will need to edit your instance and change your model.
Changing your model may result in server downtime for a few minutes. Server downtime duration may vary depending on the model. In some cases, this may take more than an hour. It is recommended that you back up your instance before changing it. You will be able to restore your backup using the original model if you encounter any problems after the change.
Can I integrate a Memory Optimized instance into the OVHcloud virtual private network (vRack)?
Yes, you can integrate an instance into the vRack network.
Can I use an IPv6 address on these instances?
Yes, an IPv6 address is assigned for each instance using a public network interface.
