Security is at the top of the list of Paris data centers: it is designed using cutting-edge technologies to protect sensitive information, for example, through multi-layered security protocols comprised of biometric access controls, 24-hour surveillance, and fire prevention systems.
According to Aurora analysis, unlike other sectors, data centres exhibit highly stable electricity demand throughout the day, varying by only 5% intraday. However, it suggests that seasonal variations of up to 23% occur due to cooling needs, which can represent up to 40% of total energy consumption for these facilities.
Indeed, from a fiscal standpoint, the French Administrative Supreme Court has ruled that a data center is not a storage facility (CE, 11 October 2022, no. 463134).
Modern data centres can achieve PUE ratings of 1.1, with further efficiency gains expected as the sector matures. The PUE metric measures the ratio of electricity consumed to power the entire data centre versus electricity consumed by IT equipment alone.
