Your challenges
The problems we solve for CIOs
Unpredictable costs
End-of-month "bill shock" has become a board-level issue. For stable workloads, public cloud is structurally more expensive than colocation.
An in-house server room to manage
Cooling, redundant power, physical security: maintaining an in-house server room ties up disproportionate expertise and resources.
Time-consuming compliance audits
ISO 27001, HDS, PCI DSS: documenting your hosting chain takes time. A certified provider takes on part of that burden.
Urgent physical interventions
When a server goes down at 2 a.m., you need immediate access or a team able to step in for you.
Multi-carrier connectivity
Your connectivity cannot depend on a single provider. You need to be able to choose your carriers and make them compete.

Frequently asked questions
Colocation allows your IT department to host your own servers in our secure facilities. You keep full control of your equipment and its configuration; we provide the shared infrastructure: N+1 redundant power, cooling, multi-carrier connectivity, physical security and 24/7 monitoring.
Nation Data Center is a subsidiary of the Altarea Group, a French company listed on Euronext Paris. All our sites are in France. No entity in our group is subject to the US Cloud Act or FISA. Your data remains under French and European jurisdiction, and we can formalise this contractually.
For stable, predictable workloads (databases, ERP, business-critical applications), colocation offers a structurally lower TCO than public cloud over 3 to 5 years. The difference comes from the absence of markup on computing power and full cost predictability. We provide a free comparative TCO analysis on request.
Yes. Your authorised staff have secure 24/7 access via biometric control. In addition, our smart hands can carry out physical interventions at your request (reboots, cabling, LED checks, component installation, etc.) without you having to travel.
Our facilities are working towards ISO 27001 (information security), HDS (health data), ISO 50001 (energy) and ISO 14001 (environment). As a client, you can use our certifications to support your own compliance files, reducing the hosting-side audit scope. Our technical documentation is available under NDA on request.
