dc2scale (PAR2)

This 250 sq m (2,691 sq ft) datacenter was built by dc2scale and became operational in 2013. It is a multi-tenant (mixed use) facility housed in a retrofitted building and offers housing capacity for up to 60 racks within a single mutualized room. The facility supports full cabinets, partial cabinets, shared rackspace, and cages, along with remote hands services.

Power Infrastructure

The datacenter is powered by a 250 kVA electrical connection from EDF, backed up by a 300 kVA diesel generator to ensure power continuity. Electrical distribution to each of the 60 racks is secured by two independent 120 kVA Vertiv Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems. The total available power capacity at the site is 0.3 MW.

Rack Specifications

A range of rack options are available including 1/4 racks, 1/2 racks, and full 600x1070mm racks, all supplied by APC - Schneider Electric. Power is distributed to each rack using APC PDPM units, enabling precise measurement and billing of power usage. Customers can choose between 16 Amp or 32 Amp power configurations per rack depending on their needs.

Cooling System

Cooling is delivered through two independent Stulz ASD 402 direct expansion units and four separate 40 kW cooling systems. Additionally, a water-based freecooling system is in place to dissipate heat either partially or entirely when outside air temperatures fall below 20°C, improving energy efficiency.

Network Connectivity

The datacenter is connected to major carriers including France Telecom/Orange, SFR, GTT/Interoute, Cogent, and Sipartech, with dual optical fiber paths for redundancy. Each rack includes up to 5 Gbps of Layer 2 connectivity to other connected sites such as dc2scale Nanterre, SFR NetCenter, Telehouse 2, and Scaleway Datacenter DC3. The site hosts one Internet Exchange Point and connects to 28 peering networks.

Security and Access

Security is a top priority at the facility, featuring 24/7 onsite security personnel, biometric access control, CCTV surveillance, and a mantrap entry system. Additional infrastructure includes roof access and a Meet-Me-Room (MMR) for interconnection needs.
