UltraEdge at a glance
Paris (France) · Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners (70 %) et Altice France (30 %)
UltraEdge was born in late 2023 from an unusual move: carving SFR's data centers out of the carrier to create an independent colocation company. The result is France's largest network of proximity sites, backed by Morgan Stanley.
The story in short
In November 2023, Altice France announced the creation of UltraEdge to group SFR's hosting infrastructure, then sold 70% of the capital to Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners at a valuation of about €764m (completed in 2024). The company inherited roughly 250 technical sites across the country, including several dozen marketable data centers.
Footprint
UltraEdge's strength is not the giant campus but the mesh: sites in most French metropolitan areas, inherited from the carrier's network and therefore natively well connected. The announced plan: about €400m of investment to structure seven regional 'datapoles' by 2028.
Services
Proximity colocation (rack to room), edge computing close to end users, and carrier connections eased by the buildings' telecom origins. The pitch targets regional businesses, integrators and content players who want lower latency without centralising everything in Paris.
What it means for your project
To host near your regional sites — Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Lille and beyond — UltraEdge is often among the few genuinely local options. Service levels vary between inherited sites: check the specific site's certifications and connectivity on its listing rather than reasoning from the brand alone.
