With the potential to house 32 data centers, the DATA4 Paris-Saclay site claims the title of Europe's largest data center campus. Originally an Alcatel Lucent research facility, the campus was redeveloped and opened in 2007. It holds a strategic location within the Paris-Saclay technology cluster, which is home to a claimed 15% of France's tech industry.

  • The campus itself is divided into three distinct zones: PAR01, PAR02, and PAR03. PAR01 is the largest zone, having been expanded to encompass 23 buildings. PAR02 houses 1 building, while PAR03 provides space for 8 data centers.

PAR01 Specifications


  • 23 Data Centers
  • Power for the site is supplied by the Villejust electricity substation, which is one of the most powerful in Europe, with two underground high-voltage lines of 90,000 V each
  • High security, with 24/7 CCTV monitoring
  • Interconnection to over 70 telecom operators / Direct access to more than 145 public Cloud platforms
  • Proximity to the Paris-Saclay ecosystem (Top 8 of worldwide clusters – MIT ranking)
  • A pleasant working environment for your staff: “living” areas, relaxation areas, offices and sporting facilities
  • An environmentally responsible approach to promote biodiversity by preserving 70 hectares of listed woodland, including beehives and the production of several dozen kilos of honey each year

Power


DATA4 supports use of Renewable Energy throughout its sites. 100% of its electricity consumption is produced from Renewable Energy (hydraulic and wind).

In addition, for each MWh consumed, the French electric utility company EDF donates one Euro to renewable energy R&D in France.

Location


The Paris-Saclay PAR01 campus is located in Marcoussis, less than 20 minutes from an international airport (ORLY) and an RER-TGV connecting train station (Massy), as well as being 30 minutes by car from the centre of Paris (via the A6 or N118).
