Flux secured a partnership with OVHcloud to help expand its edge cloud solutions catalog, according to a press release.

"Our team at Flux is not maximalist, we believe working with Web2 and Web3 will benefit users of both platforms. OVHcloud is trusted in the Web2 space and is forward-thinking about how to build a trusted digital environment in tandem, much like the development of on-prem and cloud services. They will provide the suitable infrastructure for us to grow a truly decentralized internet," said Flux co-founder Daniel Keller. "We will use OVHcloud servers to help us support our Titan Node staking platform. OVHcloud servers will be used to deploy FluxNodes knowing that they are of robust and enterprise quality."

The purpose of the partnership is to introduce Web3 for OVHcloud and Web2 for Flux on a global scale.

The collaboration will help the company connect the gap between Web2.0 and Web3.0 infrastructure to “iterate tech together and build a better future for all,” a recent press release explains. “Working with OVHcloud and their robust presence worldwide, Flux can get more nodes on the network and increase computational capacity.”

The partnership is announced in correlation with a recently noted increase 10,000% in network usage. 

“More and more companies outside of the crypto space are noticing the advantages the Flux Cloud offers and want to get their feet wet in Web3,” the press release stated.

"The promise of decentralized infrastructure requires security, high bandwidth and fast provisioning in a cost-effective overall package, which is exactly what OVHcloud is providing," said Evan Hamilton, key account manager at OVHcloud. "Our global footprint of 33 data centers, including eight in Canada and 18 in Europe, is a key benefit when handling a growing number of nodes worldwide. On top of performance and scalability, Flux and their users can also count on our trusted and sustainable cloud infrastructure, with a proven track record in energy efficiency and operational sovereignty."
