Compare data centers in Pointe-Claire →The data center listed in Pointe-Claire is operated by Vantage Data Centers. Declared design level: Tier III. That level describes the building's redundancy, not a contractual availability commitment: only the contract carries one.
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 Pointe-Claire are connected to the national grid, itself interconnected with its neighbours. What is measured, and what decides, is therefore the country's generation mix. No single source dominates it: the largest, natural gas, supplies only 40% (2025). The detail: natural gas 40%, nuclear 17.4%, coal 16.3%, wind 10.3%, solar 8.6%, hydro 5.3%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 57% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 384 g of CO2, i.e. 1.2 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 13.6 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, 0 earthquake of magnitude 5 or above has been recorded within 100 km of Pointe-Claire, and 3 within 200 km. The strongest: magnitude 5.3 in 2002, 108 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, Pointe-Claire 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 Pointe-Claire is 4 km away, in Montréal. Short distances matter: they drive the cost of a link between two buildings, and whether a backup site is workable.
