The product is based on a VMware hypervisor and enables isolated VMs to run on shared physical hosts. The architecture supports full virtualization, live migration of VMs, dynamic resource allocation (CPU, RAM, storage), advanced network management (GENEVA segment) and backup of snapshots on demand. VMs can run various OS (Linux, Windows and BSD).

## Cost and fees

Billing is for monthly use without duration commitment. There is no specific cancelation fee: deleting the service will stop billing at the end of the current period. Any associated OVHcloud credits cannot be transferred. It is the client’s responsibility to export data, images, snapshots and configurations before service deletion, as deletion is irreversible.

After the service deletion or a contract termination, OVHcloud permanently deletes all data, images, snapshots and configurations of the shared VMs. Automatic backups are also deleted. It is therefore imperative to export all necessary data before deletion. No restoration is possible after the fact.
