Compare data centers in Vélizy-Villacoublay →Vélizy-Villacoublay has 7 data centers, operated by dc2scale SAS, Cogent Communications, Inc., Etix Everywhere, ★ Dyjix SAS.

24 networks are listed at the sites in Vélizy-Villacoublay according to public interconnection registries. That number drives your negotiating power: every carrier inside the building is one more quote, with no civil works. 1 Internet exchange point is reachable from these sites, which cuts latency to the large content networks and the cost of transit.
Declared certifications: ISO 27001, ISO 50001, HDS, PCI DSS. A certification is verified site by site and carries an expiry date: ask for the certificate, not the logo. Note: part of the 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 Vélizy-Villacoublay 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 68.8% of its electricity from nuclear (2025). The detail: nuclear 68.8%, hydro 10.4%, wind 8.2%, solar 5.6%, natural gas 3%, oil (fuel oil, diesel) 1.8%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 5.1% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 41 g of CO2, i.e. 11.2 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 1.5 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.

No earthquake of magnitude 5 or above has been recorded within 200 km of Vélizy-Villacoublay since 1970, according to the US Geological Survey's global catalog. 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.
