The price of some cloud services will have to rise by five to ten percent by mid-2026, maybe sooner, according to Octave Klaba, CEO of French cloud OVH. In a weekend post to his X account, Klaba opened with the observation that the price of RAM and NVMe drives will increase significantly in around six months. The CEO attributed that increase to demand for AI hardware, which he said has seen memory-makers shift production to the HBM memory used in GPUs.
