A sovereign data center campus, connected to the world
Phocea DC is developing a data center campus in Marseille, designed as a set of complementary infrastructures within a single strategic area.
Sovereign, interconnected sites operated by local teams, designed to support evolving needs in colocation, connectivity, cloud, CDN, AI and HPC.
Rehabilitating existing buildings, rooted locally
Phocea DC favors the rehabilitation of existing buildings.
Our data centers are the result of the complete renovation of buildings in the heart of Marseille.
This location goes hand in hand with local economic roots: European shareholders, European suppliers and local partners.
Our teams are based in Marseille and work directly on our customers’ infrastructure, 24/7.
Located at the heart of a global digital crossroads
Marseille is the world’s 6th largest interconnection hub, with 18 subsea cables linking Europe to Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
Phocea DC data centers are located at this point of convergence, with access to international networks and to the connectivity infrastructure available in Marseille.
As a carrier-neutral provider, we let you choose your carriers and interconnect your infrastructure with the networks, CDNs, clouds and AI/HPC environments of your choice.
Infrastructure designed to manage its impact
Phocea DC has made energy performance and impact management core criteria in the design and operation of its data centers.
We implement concrete solutions to reduce consumption and optimize resources: a PUE of 1.2, 100% low-carbon electricity, free cooling and waste heat recovery. AI-driven smart management also makes it possible to adjust certain operating parameters in real time.
This approach extends beyond the infrastructure: rehabilitation of existing buildings, reused furniture, a 100% electric company fleet and ISO 14001 certification.
