Gatineau has 1 data center listed on DataColoc, operated notably by Equinix. Compare colocation (rack, half-rack, 1U), pricing, certifications and connectivity, then get an instant costed estimate.
Colocation in Gatineau (server housing) relies on one listed data center, operated by Equinix. Your servers are hosted in a 19" rack featuring redundant power, cooling, and 24/7 security. Declared certifications: ISO 27001, PCI-DSS. For a wider choice, nearby cities and their distances are listed below.

Compare data centers in Gatineau →The data center listed in Gatineau is operated by Equinix. Declared design level: Tier III. That level describes the building's redundancy, not a contractual availability commitment: only the contract carries one. Available formats range from 1 baie to 1 baie: you can start small here, without renting a whole rack.
Declared certifications: ISO 22301, ISO 27001, ISO 50001, PCI DSS, SOC 2. A certification is verified site by site and carries an expiry date: ask for the certificate, not the logo. Note: operation falls under a US-jurisdiction company, hence under the CLOUD Act. Hosting in Europe is not enough to escape it: what counts is the provider's nationality, not the building's address.
A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Gatineau are connected to the national grid, itself interconnected with its neighbours. What is measured, and what decides, is therefore the country's generation mix. That grid draws 52.8% of its electricity from hydro (2025). The detail: hydro 52.8%, natural gas 17.8%, nuclear 13.1%, wind 7.9%, coal 4.1%, bioenergy 1.6%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 23.1% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 191 g of CO2, i.e. 2.4 times less than the world average (458 g), 2025 figure. Concretely: a 3 kVA rack, in a site with a PUE of 1.5, draws 35,478 kWh a year and therefore emits 6.8 tonnes of CO2 a year here. The same rack, same hardware, same PUE, would emit 16 tonnes on a world-average grid. The building has nothing to do with it: the country does.

Since 1970, 2 earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above have been recorded within 100 km of Gatineau, and 3 within 200 km. The strongest: magnitude 5.3 in 2010, 34 km away. This record covers 56 years, which is short on a seismic timescale: no recorded earthquake does not mean no hazard. It does not replace the statutory zoning, which alone binds construction.

With a single listed site, Gatineau cannot support a disaster-recovery plan spread over two separate buildings within the same town. A second site remains necessary, and it is found in the nearby cities listed below. No Internet exchange point is listed here: traffic will run over transit bought from a carrier, which is billed by bandwidth. No rate is published by the operators in this city: pricing is on request, and we do not estimate it on their behalf.
The nearest site outside Gatineau is 42 km away, in Ottawa (5 sites). Short distances matter: they drive the cost of a link between two buildings, and whether a backup site is workable.
