France Data Centers

France

France boasts the 7th largest economy in the world based on GDP. France is also one of the world’s oldest countries and its reach extends around the globe through science, politics, economics, and perhaps above all, culture.

DataBank offers five data center locations throughout France. Together, they provide more than 73,000 sq. ft. of data center space. These facilities also offer access to a broad range of fiber, Internet, and connectivity options. Each facility offers amenities to include package service, parking, and office space.

The increased usage of the Internet, smartphones, social media, and the rise in digital payment services have driven much of France’s technology growth over the past few years. France is consistently listed among the world’s Top 10 innovative countries. The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and the CNIL (The French Data Protection Authority) will bring more investments in data centers in the country as the CNIL provides the protective legal framework for data storage and processing. The government’s digital roadmap also offers various investments toward the digital economy under the National Investment Program. It is expected that IoT will drive the need for applications and workloads that demand near real-time responsiveness, which will promote the deployment of edge data centers.
