European cloud provider OVH Groupe SAS is sticking with Super Micro Computer Inc. as a supplier after it audited its servers and found no sign of a hardware attack, Founder Octave Klaba said.

A team of in-house experts systematically vets parts coming from external providers and assembles them into the servers that OVH relies on to offer data hosting services, Klaba said at a press conference in Paris. Super Micro is one of several companies supplying OVH with mother boards.
