Etix Everywhere: ETIX Nantes #3

The ETIX Nantes #3 Data Center is a neutral, secure, and interconnected facility that offers advanced hosting solutions and robust infrastructure for modern IT needs. Located less than 3 kilometers from ETIX Nantes #1 and interconnected via two dark fiber routes, this facility provides unmatched redundancy, synchronous replication, and scalability. As part of the ETIX cluster, it offers a high level of operator connectivity, enabling clients to integrate into a dynamic industrial ecosystem. The data center is powered by 2,500 kVA of incoming power, delivering 1,200 kW of IT capacity. It supports per-cabinet capacities of up to 12 kW, with additional cooling solutions for higher-density requirements. The facility achieves a PUE of 1.4 and offers an SLA of up to 99.995% availability.

The cooling infrastructure at ETIX Nantes #3 is designed for reliability and efficiency, featuring an N+1 cooling design and indirect cooling, which prevents the mixing of outside and inside air for better environmental control. The cold corridor principle further optimizes cooling performance, minimizing energy consumption while maintaining optimal temperatures for IT operations. The facility is built with a phased modular architecture to enhance energy efficiency and optimize operations.

Security at ETIX Nantes #3 is robust, with 24/7 on-site NOC staff, CCTV monitoring, and dual authentication for access to critical areas. The facility employs VESDA early fire detection and a human-friendly fire suppression system using inert gas, ensuring equipment safety and minimal downtime. Proven low-noise extinguishing systems further protect sensitive hardware. A 24/7 service desk ensures clients receive continuous operational support.

As a carrier-neutral data center, ETIX Nantes #3 provides access to 25+ connectivity providers, including international, national, and local telecom operators. With two diverse points of entry (POEs), fiber conduits, and four separate telco distribution cabinets, the facility ensures path diversity and high telecom availability. Interconnections with other ETIX data centers enhance scalability and flexibility for clients’ digital strategies.
