Free Pro: PAR02 Data Center

The PAR02 Data Center operated by Free Pro (formerly part of the Iliad Group / Jaguar Network family) is located at 114 Rue Ambroise Croizat, Saint-Denis, Paris, France. 

 This facility is part of Free Pro’s expansion in the Paris metropolitan area, offering a strategic location close to major fibre and metro networks while benefiting from support by a national operator. Despite being described as “planned / in planning stage” at some sources, it presents a compelling option for enterprises seeking fresh space in the Paris region.What makes it stand out is its alignment with Free Pro’s network ecosystem, enabling customers to leverage carrier connectivity, colocation flexibility, and local French data-centre presence under one brand umbrella.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• According to Baxtel, the site is marked as “Planned / Future facility in planning stage” under Free Pro: PAR02.
•  This means that many detailed specifications (such as final IT load, exact PUE, full rack counts) may still be subject to change.
• This location benefits from Free Pro’s operator context: the Free Pro group (formerly Jaguar Network) is expanding its footprint and bringing its managed services and network infrastructure into this facility.
• The facility is situated within a dense data-centre ecosystem (multiple other large facilities nearby in the Paris region) which can offer strong interconnect opportunities. 
• While full details are not publicly disclosed, the infrastructure is reported to include autonomous power-generator capacity and underground fuel tanks capable of supporting full facility operations even at peak load. 
• Cooling, scalability and modular build-out details remain limited in public documentation. Interested clients should engage with Free Pro for the latest build-out specification, rack-density options, and expansion roadmap.

🔐 Security & Compliance

• The facility’s documentation indicates the presence of full UPS/generator backup systems and resilient power infrastructure—typical of modern Tier III+ class data centres—although explicit tier certification is not publicly listed. 
• Given the operator’s footprint and competitive positioning, standard 24/7 operations, on-site security, controlled access, fire suppression and monitoring systems are assumed to be in place—however, specific certifications (ISO 27001, PCI DSS, etc.) for this particular building weren’t clearly publicised at the time of review.
• Clients should verify with Free Pro for the latest compliance regime (data-sovereignty, GDPR, audit reports) relevant for regulated industries.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• The site is well-positioned in the Paris metro region, benefiting from proximity to fibre corridors, major network hubs, and other key data-centre campuses—offering strong potential for low-latency regional connectivity. 
• As part of Free Pro’s data centre estate, the facility is expected to support a carrier-neutral model, enabling cross-connects, multiple provider options, and integration into Free Pro’s network topology.
• For hybrid / multi-site strategies, clients can leverage Free Pro’s broader footprint in France, enabling inter-facility connectivity and redundancy planning.

💼 Who It Serves

• Enterprises seeking a Paris-based colocation or managed infrastructure location, especially when proximity to French-based network infrastructure, sovereignty, and local operator support matter.
• SaaS, cloud and service-provider organisations that require Paris region presence and connectivity flexibility, especially those integrating heavily with Free Pro’s network ecosystem.
• Businesses planning growth or requiring future-proof build-out options in the Paris metro region, due to the facility’s new-build stage and expansion potential.
• Organisations with multi-site, DR/backup or hybrid IT architectures that leverage French-site presence as a component of wider European deployment.
