Nation Data Center moves in near Rennes, France

Nation Data Center (NDC) has announced it is to build a new 3,000 sqm (32,300 sq ft) data center based near Rennes, in France. The facility named the Roah Data Center, will accommodate 600 racks when fully built out. 

The facility was given the go-ahead after the company obtained a building permit in the Commune of Noyal sur Vilaine in Brittany. Alongside this new build, the company also has projects planned in Bordeaux, Marseilles, Nice, Toulouse, Lyon, Strasbourg, Rouen, and Lille.

Commenting on the Okan Turedi, President of Nation Data Center, said: “The benevolent and sincere welcome given by the local authorities reinforces our role as an infrastructure serving the general interest. Our eco-responsibility approach responds to very strong local demand. The Rennes basin is very important for Nation Data Center in its commitment to digital autonomy for France.”

Likewise, in a statement, the company said: “We warmly thank the community Pays de Châteaugiron Communauté and the Commune De Noyal Sur Vilaine for their kindness in this project. A big thank you also to Benoit Andrier and Sterenn Architecture that allows us to make a pleasant data center and in harmony with the nearby urban landscape.”
