What Oxeva SAS does

Oxeva SAS is a Paris-based managed hosting provider (infogéreur) founded in 2005 by Olivier Doucet, Vincent Harmin, and Gabriel Barazer, specializing in high-availability infrastructure for high-traffic websites and applications. The company operates three core product lines: Cloud (managed VPS or dedicated cloud hosting with multi-datacenter architecture for disaster recovery), Big Data (storage-compute decoupled infrastructure built on PureStorage FlashBlade and Cloudera/Hadoop for 50-100TB workloads), and CDN (intelligent content distribution for French and international delivery). A fourth sub-brand, Nua.ge, operates as a related domain and web services offering. The technical stack spans diverse environments (Magento, Drupal, Prestashop, WordPress, Node.js, Java, MongoDB, Elasticsearch) supported by a proprietary six-stage migration methodology ("Méthode du Peuple Migrateur") and automated provisioning systems capable of provisioning new platforms in 48 hours.

Oxeva generates revenue exclusively through managed services (infogérance) on a quote-based, multi-year contract model with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. The go-to-market is consultative enterprise and mid-market field sales, prioritizing technical audit and tailored architecture proposals over productized selling. Distribution is wholly direct — no reseller, marketplace, or self-service channel exists. Marketing relies on a technical blog authored by founders, customer case studies, a monthly newsletter, and a strong referral/word-of-motion component rather than paid acquisition at scale. The company emphasizes 100% French data sovereignty as a regulatory differentiator against US hyperscalers subject to FISA, alongside active open-source community participation.

The customer base is diversified across e-commerce (Le Slip Français, Yakarouler, Voga, Bleuforêt), online media (Toutelatele.com, Atlantico), digital agencies (Equinoa), gaming (Celsius Online), travel (Poplidays), SaaS (Kéméo), Big Data analytics (Budgetbox), and retail optics — almost entirely mid-market French businesses plus occasional European exposure. Oxeva operates from a single Paris headquarters at 12 rue de la Bourse, has 11-50 employees, has never raised external funding, and has not disclosed revenue figures. The company shows no acquisitions, leadership changes, or restructuring events, and remains entirely founder-owned.

Direct peers

• Scaleway: French sovereign cloud provider (Iliad subsidiary) offering VPS, dedicated servers, object storage, and managed Kubernetes across European data centers. Competes directly with Oxeva in French/European sovereign cloud hosting for mid-market and developer customers.
• Clever Cloud: French PaaS provider offering managed hosting for applications (Java, Node.js, PHP, Python, Scala) with automated scaling and European data centers. Comparable in French market positioning and managed application hosting focus, but with a more developer/self-service oriented GTM than Oxeva.
• Ikoula: French managed hosting and dedicated server provider with cloud, private cloud, and infrastructure outsourcing offerings. Overlaps with Oxeva's infogérance model and French mid-market customer base, though with broader SMB reach.
• Outscale (Dassault Systèmes): French sovereign cloud provider (subsidiary of Dassault Systèmes) offering IaaS and managed cloud services with strong emphasis on data sovereignty and security certifications. Comparable in sovereignty positioning and French enterprise focus, with deeper regulated-industry penetration.
• OVHcloud: France's largest cloud and hosting provider, offering dedicated servers, VPS, public cloud, and managed services with European data sovereignty. Directly comparable to Oxeva in target market (French mid-market/enterprise) and product line (cloud hosting, Big Data, CDN), but at vastly greater scale.
• Infomaniak: Swiss-based sovereign cloud and hosting provider emphasizing data privacy, GDPR compliance, and 100% European infrastructure. Closely comparable to Oxeva on sovereignty positioning, target customer (mid-market/enterprise), and managed hosting focus, though serving primarily Switzerland and French-speaking Europe.

• Gandi: French domain registrar and managed hosting provider offering VPS, dedicated servers, and cloud hosting with European data centers. Operates in the same French mid-market hosting space and shares the European sovereignty narrative with Oxeva, though Gandi is more SMB/dev-focused.
• Platform.sh: European (French-founded) managed cloud platform for web applications, providing automated DevOps, hosting, and CI/CD across multiple cloud providers. Comparable in managed application hosting for mid-market and enterprise developers, and shares European/GDPR-aware positioning with Oxeva.
