À propos de DC2SCALE

Who are we?

Discover the history and values of DC2SCALE, a major emerging player in the sovereign French data center industry.

An independent French actor

A sovereign vision of the French data center

DC2SCALE is an independent French operator (with 100% French capital) specialized in the design, construction, and operation of sovereign and modular data centers.

Since 2020, we have been developing an industrial approach to data centers, based on the complete control of the value chain, from design to operation, in order to offer our clients reliable, high-performance, and responsible infrastructures.


Our ambition: to offer a sustainable and sovereign alternative to the oversized and energy-consuming models of the traditional industry.

Growth based on industrial expertise

Born from the experience of engineers and entrepreneurs in the IT and hosting world, DC2SCALE has built its development on a simple conviction:

"a data center must be designed as a living, evolving, and optimized system at every link of its design."


It is with this logic that Circular Datacenter, the construction and assembly subsidiary of the group, was born.
Circular Datacenter designs, builds, and refurbishes the physical infrastructures of the DC2SCALE network: IT rooms, electrical systems, climate, and mechanical systems.

This integrated model allows us to ensure full traceability of equipment, significantly reduce electronic waste, and optimize every watt consumed within our sites.

Design, operation, energy: the DC2SCALE model compared to market standards

Datacenter traditionnel

- Infrastructures standardisées, surdimensionnées dès la construction
- Construction sous-traitée, dépendance à des chaînes d’approvisionnement
- PUE moyen supérieur à 1.6 avec recours massif au refroidissement mécanique
- Cycle de vie linéaire : extraction → utilisation → déchet
- Coûts fixes élevés, rigidité contractuelle
- Rigidité technique des gestes de proximité
- Peu ou pas de valorisation énergétique des rejets thermiques
- Empreinte carbone compensée a posteriori

Modèle DC2SCALE

- Architecture modulaire, ajustée dynamiquement à la charge réelle
- Conception et assemblage internes via Circular Datacenter, circuits courts
- Freecooling direct généralisé, PUE ≤ 1.35
- Modèle circulaire : réemploi, reconditionnement, valorisation
- Flexibilité d’échelle et tarification adaptée aux besoins réels
- Techniciens et ingénieurs à votre écoute
- Récupération et valorisation de chaleur intégrées aux salles techniques
- Réduction à la source, conception low-energy dès le design

A network of interconnected campuses

The DC2SCALE network is based on several regional campuses and strategic sites, interconnected with low latency:

- Paris-Vélizy : main campus (PAR2, PAR3, PAR4, PAR5)
- La Défense : PAR7
- Marseille : MRS1
- Lille : LIL1

Each site is designed as a scalable brick of the DC2SCALE mesh, capable of adapting to the desired level of redundancy and energy density.
Our architectures are designed to offer horizontal scalability and native high availability, while maintaining a PUE ≤ 1.3 thanks to systematic use of freecooling.
