Founder Octave Klaba attributes this to RAM suppliers shifting fabrication capacity toward high-bandwidth memory for AI, driving memory costs to 6x June 2025 levels, with 9x forecast for September 2026 and 12x by early 2027. NVMe drives sit at 7x and hard drives at 3.5x. Storage and IP addresses become separate billed items on Gen3 instances from October 1, and shorter savings plans are being dropped. Klaba expects the situation to persist until 2028. By contrast, AWS has raised its EC2 Capacity Blocks for ML reserved GPU product by about 20 percent in July after 15 percent in January, leaving the rest of its catalog unchanged, because hyperscalers buy memory years ahead in volumes that secure priority allocation and some design their own chips. Commentators note this asymmetry could hurt sovereign cloud providers' cost advantage just as European procurement frameworks increasingly favor them. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Why is OVHcloud raising its server prices in September 2026? OVHcloud is raising prices because memory and storage component costs have surged as RAM suppliers redirected fabrication capacity toward high-bandwidth memory for AI, away from standard DDR4 and DDR5. Founder Octave Klaba states RAM cost six times more in June 2026 than in June 2025, with nine times forecast for September 2026. 2026-edition gaming servers rise 87 percent, other recent servers 40 to 59 percent, while older ranges like Kimsufi and Rise remain unaffected. _Teams tracking cloud cost swings can follow infrastructure pricing shifts like this one on daily.dev._ ### How has AWS changed EC2 Capacity Blocks pricing compared to OVHcloud's broader price increases? AWS raised EC2 Capacity Blocks for ML, a reserved GPU product, by roughly 20 percent in July after about 15 percent in January, while leaving the rest of its catalog, including Trainium instances, unchanged. This contrasts with OVHcloud, which is raising prices 40 to 87 percent across most of its catalog because it buys memory month-to-month rather than years ahead like hyperscalers with volume-based priority allocation. _Comparing how cloud vendors absorb component cost shocks helps teams choosing infrastructure providers, a comparison worth following on daily.dev._ ### How long is the memory and component price surge affecting cloud providers expected to last? Octave Klaba, founder of OVHcloud, says the exceptional pricing situation caused by AI-driven memory demand will last until 2028, with RAM cost multiples forecast to reach 12 times June 2025 levels by early 2027. NVMe drives are already at 7x and hard drives at 3.5x their prior cost, driven by AI datacenter, GPU, and agentic AI demand. _Planning cloud budgets around multi-year cost shocks is easier when tracking infrastructure pricing trends on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [AWS GPU prices jump 20% as memory crunch bites](https://daily.dev/posts/aws-gpu-prices-jump-20-as-memory-crunch-bites-jdminsus0) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Alibaba Cloud lifts prices, blames AI and hardware costs](https://daily.dev/posts/alibaba-cloud-lifts-prices-blames-ai-and-hardware-costs-8jnwgjxhp) · The Register · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Your AI Storage Bill Is the Cost No One Is Watching](https://daily.dev/posts/your-ai-storage-bill-is-the-cost-no-one-is-watching-4arlf7qyd) · finout · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [The hyperscalers are pricing themselves out of AI workloads](https://daily.dev/posts/the-hyperscalers-are-pricing-themselves-out-of-ai-workloads-qx0a2nvcw) · InfoWorld · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#aws](https://daily.dev/tags/aws) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/ovhcloud-raises-prices-as-ai-memory-demand-reprices-non-ai-infrastructure-5apiqjaxy) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"OVHcloud Raises Prices as AI Memory Demand Reprices Non-AI Infrastructure","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/ovhcloud-raises-prices-as-ai-memory-demand-reprices-non-ai-infrastructure-5apiqjaxy","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/ovhcloud-raises-prices-as-ai-memory-demand-reprices-non-ai-infrastructure-5apiqjaxy"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T08:47:17.872Z","dateModified":"2026-08-24T06:51:36.721Z","description":"OVHcloud is raising prices across most of its catalog starting September, with 2026-edition gaming servers up 87 percent and other recent servers up 40 to 59...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/7c95edcac114ac9082d77bf32e6470da?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/7c95edcac114ac9082d77bf32e6470da?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"InfoQ","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"InfoQ","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/afc3bced3e1e4b188dd9127017a60e0c","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/infoq"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/ovhcloud-raises-prices-as-ai-memory-demand-reprices-non-ai-infrastructure-5apiqjaxy","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"aws","timeRequired":"PT5M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"InfoQ","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/infoq"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"OVHcloud Raises Prices as AI Memory Demand Reprices Non-AI Infrastructure"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/ovhcloud-raises-prices-as-ai-memory-demand-reprices-non-ai-infrastructure-5apiqjaxy#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Why is OVHcloud raising its server prices in September 2026?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"OVHcloud is raising prices because memory and storage component costs have surged as RAM suppliers redirected fabrication capacity toward high-bandwidth memory for AI, away from standard DDR4 and DDR5.
