VIA DC

How France is rated in terms of attractivity for the Datacenter market ? You can download this white paper from France Datacenter Association, delivering a survey benchmarking France vs the others European countries. https://lnkd.in/eSmCRKNv

Olivier LABBE, Président de VIA DC, était à Nantes ce jour pour l'inauguration du Datacenter flottant de la société DENV-R. Outre la performance écologique (le refroidissement par une boucle immergée dans la Loire, sans pompage d'eau, permet un PUE de l'ordre de 1.1), cette solution, quasi invisible depuis le quai, permet de résoudre la difficulté de trouver du foncier urbain disponible pour les futurs Datacenters Edge. La majorité des villes étant traversées par des rivières ou des fleuves, cette technologie est promise à un bel avenir.

The European Commission makes an obligation for Member States to ensure that Datacenters with a total rated energy input exceeding 1 MW will use the waste heat or other waste heat recovery applications unless it is not technically or economically feasible. In the same time, it defines 6 milestones (see extract here below) that the Heat Networks will have to cope with. No doubt that both parties will make more and more effort to partner to commonly reach their own regulation commitment. VIA DC may support you in your Datacenter project development phase in Europe to validate these opportunities.

VIA DC, with its deputee BlueSun DC in #Greece, supported the development of Data4 Group in Athens, to allow the european colocation leader to secure its project in this new country (due diligence, power, permitting) https://lnkd.in/efY7c2Uv,

Great Platform Markets Group Event this week in Antibes. My key take aways : * Datacenter size is growing, first because of the demand for sure, but as well because it is "less suffering" to develop one 500 MW IT project vs 5 times 100 MW IT project, as regulative constraints and power process becomes more and more difficult to manage. * The project development milestones are now : power capacity first and site quality afterwards, and no longer the opposite. VIA DC is able to support the Datacenter investors to succeed in their project from 11 locations in Europe, backing this development phase including for sure the power strategy. Warm thanks finally to Barry Gross, Douglas Loewe, Henry Daunert and Matthew Baynes, for this dynamic roudtable about market entry !

As of today, VIA DC is also able to support the devlopment of your #Datacenter projects from #Belgium and #Luxemburg. This area, surrounded by the 4 FLAP hubs, offers some consolidation market options. We may advise you from 11 European locations for strategic and technical missions.

VIA DC brings strategic and technical support to help operators, real estate companies and investment funds to develop their #Datacenter projects. We will be glad to meet you during the next Platform event in Antibes (10th-12th September). #PlatformGlobal #datacenters #investment #sustainability

The trend of Data Center market is not just keeping the momentum, but booming ! Let you have a look of the graphics in this article from Sherwood. https://lnkd.in/eKFVM6bc

Geothermal energy could supply big Datacenters, as this example recently announced in Kenya. East Africa is definitely appropriate for this kind of energy, but, to a lesser degree, Turkey and Italy, the European main providers, could consider this option. https://lnkd.in/gc3wPBz3

8 to 9 GW currently under request process for #Datacenter in France !! Nevertheless, RTE (French TSO) is not so worrying about its capacity to face the challenge, but is pointing out this current bottle neck. VIA DC may support you in your Power process for any Datacenter development project in France. See this article from "Les Echos" https://lnkd.in/edPeP4cy
