DATA4 is a premier European operator and investor specializing in the data center market, dedicated to providing secure, personalized, and scalable hosting for a diverse range of clients from SMEs to large international corporations. By leveraging its vast land bank of 111 hectares and energy reserves of 205 MW, the Group allows businesses to delegate their infrastructure management and focus entirely on their core activities. Their service model is built on flexibility, offering everything from single colocation racks to entire dedicated buildings, all supported by significant financial resources that ensure long term technical reliability and infrastructure evolution.

A cornerstone of DATA4’s philosophy is its strict neutrality toward telecommunications operators and cloud providers. This carrier neutral approach empowers clients with the freedom to choose service providers that best fit their technical and budgetary requirements. On site, clients have access to a massive ecosystem comprising 80 telecommunications operators and direct links to over 150 public cloud platforms, ensuring high speed interconnection and seamless hybrid cloud integration.

Since its inception in 2006, DATA4 has maintained a record of zero service interruptions, a testament to its cutting edge design and high quality technical management. The facilities are built to Tier 3 standards and carry ISO 27001 certification, reflecting a rigorous commitment to information security. Physical protection is equally robust, featuring 24 7 on site security staff and comprehensive CCTV monitoring across the entire 220000 sq.m. plot, creating a dependable environment for mission critical data.

The PAR3 site stands out as a technological powerhouse, featuring eight dedicated data centers with a total built out power of 120 MW. The site is energized by the Villejust electricity substation, one of Europe’s most formidable, via two independent 90000 V underground high voltage lines. This purpose built infrastructure is designed for scalability, featuring expandable whitespace and specialized facilities such as Meet Me Rooms MMR, private suites, and custom cages to house diverse hardware footprints.

To accommodate the specific spatial and technical needs of every client, DATA4 offers a versatile range of hosting options. Whether a company requires shared rackspace, partial cabinets, or full cabinets, the infrastructure is designed to scale alongside the business. Clients can manage their hardware footprints with precision, supported by Remote Hands services, on site technical assistance available to perform physical tasks, cabling, or reboots, ensuring that equipment is maintained even when the client’s own team is off site.

Strategically situated within the Paris Saclay ecosystem, ranked among the top eight worldwide research clusters by MIT, DATA4 PAR3 offers clients unique proximity to a hub of innovation and technology. Beyond the hardware, the campus prioritizes the well being of the staff who operate there. The living areas include modern offices, relaxation zones, breakrooms, and sporting facilities, ensuring a pleasant and productive working environment that bridges the gap between industrial utility and human comfort.

DATA4 integrates an environmentally responsible approach directly into its campus model, balancing industrial growth with ecological preservation. Of the total site area, 70 hectares consist of listed woodland dedicated to promoting biodiversity. This initiative includes the maintenance of on site beehives that produce several dozen kilos of honey annually. By combining advanced infrastructure with a focus on preserving local flora and fauna, the Group sets a standard for sustainable digital transformation.
