Yovole Networks

What Yovole Networks does

Yovole Networks (有孚 / Youfu / Yovole Cloud) is a privately-held Chinese enterprise cloud computing and data center operator headquartered in Shanghai, founded in 2001 and operating more than 100,000 square meters of data center capacity. The company is recognized alongside GDS Holdings and VNET Group as one of China's top data center operators and operates through a wholly-owned international subsidiary, Yovole International, which has begun to extend footprint into Singapore.

The company's core offering is a full-stack IaaS/PaaS platform spanning compute (cloud servers, GPU cloud servers, bare metal, HPC Supercomputing, AI Computing / 银汉智算), storage (cloud disk, object storage with AWS S3-compatible API, CDN, backup), networking (VPC, load balancer, NAT gateway, elastic IP, dedicated network access, VPN), databases (MySQL/vRDS with high-availability and up to 5 read replicas, Redis), container services, monitoring (CDS probe-based site monitoring), and security (WAF, DDoS, auditing). The platform carries ISO 27001, GDPR, Trusted Cloud Service Certification, and MLPS Level 3 compliance. In 2025 the company launched a DeepSeek full-version LLM service platform, adding managed AI model inference on top of its GPU compute stack. Distribution is hybrid — a self-serve cloud console (bp.yovole.com), enterprise field sales with one-on-one professional consulting, and Brand Cloud / Technology Partner programs.

Yovole's business model is subscription- and usage-based cloud services revenue, billed via prepaid monthly/annual or postpaid pay-as-you-go for most products, with quote-based pricing for enterprise deals and additional managed services revenue from migration, security operations, disaster recovery, and outsourced operations. Customer segmentation is vertical-driven across six industries — financial services (flagged as primary, focused on trading-class IT infrastructure), e-commerce, chain/retail, manufacturing, education, and healthcare — with additional specialized workloads in autonomous driving, genomics, broadcasting, and smart security. The company has raised capital via participation in a collective ~9 billion yuan ($1.3B) privately-placed real asset-backed securities issuance with GDS and VNET, and explores sustainability initiatives including a 2026 hydrogen power pilot in Singapore.
