The background

HollaEx® operates more than 100 exchanges across 20 countries. Each crypto exchange using HollaEx has the option to host their own exchange or utilise our streamlined cloud exchange services, currently available through OVHcloud. The majority of our clients prefer our cloud exchange services which as a result, has significantly enhanced our partnership with OVHcloud.

The challenge

HollaEx® was utilising various cloud services, ranging from Amazon AWS to Google GCP. In addition, they have managed some servers internally for specific sensitive crypto fund-related activities.

“Our primary focus is on maximising uptime and cost-efficiency. Not every exchange utilising our white label exchange software requires extensive compute resources, so affordable and fair cloud services are essential for our success,”

Adrian Pollard, Chief Product Officer and Co-founder, HollaEx®

However, as a blockchain financial services business, they have encountered many challenges with the significant costs associated with maintaining their exchange infrastructure. These issues stem from inadequate support from their cloud provider, high expenses, and the absence of personalised assistance.

The solution

HollaEx®'s white label crypto exchange relies on OVHcloud for Kubernetes services across various regions.

The solution has significantly improved their ability to manage multiple regions efficiently. Additionally, it has provided them with direct communication channels with OVHcloud team members, enabling them to ask questions and troubleshoot any issues promptly.

“Furthermore, the strong emphasis on privacy and data protection demonstrated by OVHcloud was a critical consideration for us, particularly regarding user private data and financial transactions,”

The result

Operating a crypto exchange cloud infrastructure presents unique challenges. With the personalised one-on-one support provided by OVHcloud, direct access to their support team and responsiveness to our specific needs, it has been a positive standout experience for us among other cloud providers.
