Our data center campuses: A unique way to support your digital development
Data Center operators provide the infrastructure we rely on to make our everyday digital lives possible, whether for work, play, or in government. The need for information technology hosting is skyrocketing as every strata of society rushes to go digital, en masse.
DATA4 has developed a model based on efficient and scalable Data Center campuses, unique in Europe, to support its customers’ growth.
Data4 is committed to ensuring maximum availability and reliability of its infrastructures and services. This includes implementing redundancy mechanisms for power supplies, cooling systems and network connections (fiber optics and copper) to limit service interruptions. In addition, rigorous 24/7 maintenance and monitoring processes are in place to quickly detect and resolve any potential problems. Finally, we comply with recognized standards and certifications, such as ISO 27001, 9001 and 14001, to ensure the security and continuity of all our operations.
AI-ready DCs
Artificial intelligence is transforming digital infrastructure requirements. In response to this technological revolution, we have upgraded our data centers to be AI-ready, designed specifically to meet the growing power and cooling requirements of AI-based systems.
Our facilities offer exceptional densification of server racks ( over 100 kW per rack), responding to the intensive workloads required for AI model training and inference. This level of densification has been carefully studied to guarantee optimum performance while keeping costs and energy efficiency under control.
To accompany this unprecedented density, we have implemented an advanced cooling design, based on Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) technology. This carefully engineered liquid cooling system maintains optimal temperatures for each rack, while reducing power consumption. This ensures uninterrupted performance and unrivalled reliability, even for the most demanding AI applications.
Our AI-ready data centers are designed to offer flexibility, scalability and maximized energy efficiency.

and expertise
By their very nature, Data Centers consume huge amounts of energy, and a reliable electricity supply is critical to the business continuity they guarantee for their customers. This reliability depends not only on the quality of the electricity provided by the energy company, but also the quality of the electrical network within the Data Center.
By grouping together several of our Data Centers on a single campus, DATA4 has secured the resources it needs to invest in a very high quality, secure, underground high voltage energy network (90 kV in Paris-Marcoussis, 132 kV in Milan), with an unrivalled availability rate.
Our Data Center campus model – with its added value services and teams of specialist experts – provides our customers with all of the expertise they need for seamless hosting services, in one single location.
Why choose DATA4:
- Peerless power supply
- Speedy, competitive construction lead-times
- Shared construction and operations costs, through economies of scale
- Optimised electricity consumption, recycling, mobility, and goods transport
DATA4 Campuses are home to all the energy supply and management expertise you need for optimal availability
Designing
connectivity nodes
By grouping several Data Centers – and therefore a large number of customers – together on a single campus, DATA4 transforms them into connectivity nodes where scores of operators meet.
With the rocketing need for connectivity, our campuses are becoming the nerve centres of networks for access to and connections between different cloud services.
Why choose DATA4:
- A number of completely separate dark fibre infrastructure entry points with access to over thirty Paris Data Centers and around twenty Data Centers in Milan
- A Carrier Neutral, hyper-connected Data Center, hosting a wide range of access and transportation operators, for more cost-effective connections to your different sites, and the internet itself
- A Cloud Neutral Data Center with hundreds of direct connections to providers of cloud services in Europe and all over the world
DATA4 Campuses form connectivity nodes for companies, where they have access to more than 220 telecom and public cloud operators
