It is terrible timing with the company planning an IPO and also because the French government has heavily backed OVH. I think some government websites went down. France has a statist tradition that leads it to get involved in industries where has no expertise.

and a few hundred of us hoping we never have to stand in front of that<br>
camera to explain a similar incident<br>
<br>
a few things stood out: where backups are located, the ability to build<br>
a lot of new servers and the supporting infra, ... but in a week or two<br>
i hope he can tell us results of more analysis.<br>
