Groupe Oceanet Technology: Armor B Data Center

The Armor B Data Center is located at 2 Impasse Joséphine Baker, 44800 Saint-Herlain (Nantes region), France, and is operated by Groupe Oceanet Technology, a secure hosting and cloud infrastructure specialist that was acquired by CELESTE in July 2021. 

As part of Oceanet’s in-house data-centre footprint, the facility serves as a key regional node for colocation, cloud hosting and managed services, benefiting from its proximity to western-France fibre routes and enterprise demand in Nantes / Pays de la Loire region. Its positioning enables businesses to leverage a sovereign-hosting venue with strong security credentials, network access and regional redundancy.
