Data center of European hoster OVHCloud in Strasbourg almost completely burned down

Tonight (about 1 am ET) in the company’s Strasbourg data center OVH there was a fire that destroyed most of the equipment. Firefighters from the rescue services de-energized all buildings and only in the morning the fire was extinguished. No harm done. The prefecture and the police have established a security perimeter around the buildings, and employees are also denied access there. This event has already affected many OVH clients, as it turned out, many backups were stored in the same datacenter.
