Today, OVH founder and chairman Octave Klaba has provided a plausible explanation for the fire that had burned down OVH data centers in Strasbourg, France.
OVH is the largest hosting provider in Europe and the third-largest in the world. The cloud computing company provides VPS, dedicated servers, and other web services.
The online properties impacted by the fire included free chess server Lichess.org, videogame maker Rust, cryptocurrency exchange Deribit's blog and docs sites, telecom company AFR-IX, encryption utility VeraCrypt, news outlet eeNews Europe, the art building complex Centre Pompidou, and many others.
