Nation Data Center

With plans for 15 locations by 2030, Nation Data Center is a responsible, sovereign and local network of data centres in France.

As data centres represent 16% of France’s digital carbon footprint, limiting their environmental impact is an urgent requirement. Nation Data Center aims to make digital technology more sustainable.
Our involvement in the design, construction and operation of our data centres is therefore based around three pillars: responsibility, with centres designed and operated in a low-carbon way while ensuring the highest standards of physical and digital security; sovereignty, operating only on French soil; proximity, with an approach focused on people and regions.

Responsibility

An eco-responsible design that combines technology and ecology.
Our data centres meet the highest standards of physical and digital security and fulfil the latest eco-responsible obligations. Designed and operated in a low-carbon way, they prioritise renewable energies and do not consume water.

Sovereignty

Sovereign hosting to maintain data protection.
Conscious of the sensitive nature of our customers’ data, we firmly believe in the importance of a sovereign physical hosting location. We are French and operate only on French soil, thus providing protection against extraterritorial laws at an infrastructure level.

Convenience

A local approach that focuses on people and regions.
To provide hosting and support as close to you as possible, our goal is to develop a network of 15 data centres that are 100% located in France by 2030.

Our first two data centres, currently under construction in Val-de-Reuil and Roazhon , are the first components in a network of 15 centres to be completed by 2030.

« While massively deploying IT infrastructures related in particular to the development of artificial intelligence, companies are highly committed to reducing the environmental footprint of their activities, particularly digital. We are supporting them with a network of state-of-the-art data centres aligned with 2030 decarbonisation targets. »

Our offer meets the highest quality standards for tailor-made IT hosting.

  • Maximum physical and digital data protection
    24/7 defence-in-depth concept, indoor and outdoor video surveillance, security guards, ANSSI-compliant double authentication and 3.5 m fencing to prevent any physical intrusion into our infrastructure. Our facilities are ISO 27001 and HDS certified.
  • Tailor-made joint leasing
    Private cage, dedicated room, storage space, very high density: our 1,000 to 2,000 m2 modular data centres provide an opportunity to meet the development needs of your hosting infrastructure.
  • Optimal connectivity
    Presence of meet-me-rooms in all our data centres to host the various telecom and cloud service providers.
  • Living and working spaces
    A pleasant working environment and spaces that can be privatised on an ad hoc basis or year-round.
  • Proximity and support
    On-site operating teams that can carry out a range of local interventions on equipment at customers’ request. Experts available to support them at every stage.

To develop more environmentally friendly data centres, we apply five main principles from construction to operation.

  • Building with decarbonisation
    Responsible use of wood, waste management for a clean site, reuse and recycling of construction waste or materials found on brownfield sites.
  • Using clean energy
    Favouring green electricity deals, long-term contracts with renewable electricity producers, using local renewable energies, developing geothermal energy and free cooling (using cold air from outside).
  • Reducing energy consumption
    Purchasing high-performance materials for thermal insulation and electrical infrastructure, rational consumption through management and optimisation of resources.
  • Protecting water resources
    Avoiding water-intensive technologies that are often used for cooling facilities, such as adiabatic systems.
  • Recovering waste heat
    Systematic study of the possibility of using the heat released by our infrastructures for the benefit of urban heat networks, for example, to heat a municipal swimming pool or housing.
