25. OVH PARTNERSHIP
25 - Confidential
Container heavy architecture
To super the scale and growth of our client while still delivering high quality experience, ForePaaS has very early on
decided to develop a microservices architecture based on containers.
WHAT IS A CONTAINER?
A container is a standard unit of software that packages up code and all its dependencies so the application runs
quickly and reliably from one computing environment to another.
TECHNOLOGY PROVIDER
• An industry standard
• Lightweight use of kernels
• Secure isolations
ORCHESTRATION SERVICE
• Open-source
• Infrastructure automation
• Self-healing
• Horizontal scaling
CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT
ForePaaS heavily customized the
K8S APIs to facilitate the provisioning
and the automation of our clients
services.
4 MIN
Time to deploy new nods on K8S
using FP QuickScale technology.

26. OVH PARTNERSHIP
26 - Confidential
The obvious choice
OVH was key in the development of ForePaaS’ infrastructure and current success.
TRANSPARENCY
As a data company, ForePaaS is
extremely alert wrt downtimes. OVH
is always very transparent about the
source of incidents and planned
maintenances.
DIVERSE PRODUCT OFFERING
From public, private to bare metal
products, OVH can satisfy all our
clients requirements while running a
unified infrastructure stack.
NETWORK TECHNOLOGY
The vRack technology has been a
crucial selling point for ForePaaS
reducing development &
maintenance time while simplifying
our internal architecture.
OPENNESS
Use of open source technologies
(VMWare & OpenStack) makes it
easy to develop complex custom
infrastructures.
GLOBAL FOOTPRINT
As a European technology provider,
ForePaaS needed a robust network
of datacenters physically located in
the EU with room for growth
internationally.
COST EFFICIENCY
Clear pricing, pay as you need. No
additional costs for network data
transfers between datacenters.
Savings are in +10K / months.
