NEXEREN: Cébazat Data Center

The NEXEREN data centre in Cébazat is situated at 95 Rue Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, 63118 Cébazat, France. 

Operated by NEXEREN — a French, regionally-focused colocation services provider founded in 2013 and headquartered in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (AURA) region. 

This facility serves as part of NEXEREN’s network of sovereign data centres in the Rhône-Alpes area. It offers enterprises and public-sector organisations a local, high-performance and secure infrastructure option outside of the major Paris or Frankfurt hubs. The proximity to Clermont-Ferrand and Lyon gives regional businesses strong access to low-latency connectivity, local regulations and French data-sovereignty benefits.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• NEXEREN emphasises very high infrastructure standards: the company’s data centres hold a double certification from the Uptime Institute for both “Design” and “Facility” tiers (Tier IV) — one of the few in France achieving this level. 
• The company cites a very low Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of less than 1.3, reflecting energy-efficient design and operations. 
• Rack-density support up to 20 kW per bay is explicitly mentioned — demonstrating readiness for high-density, performance-intensive workloads.
• The facility is fully telecom-neutral, enabling access to multiple operators and cloud connectivity options. 

🔐 Security & Compliance

• Physical and logical security levels are high: NEXEREN holds ISO 27001 certification for information security management. 
• The operational infrastructure is built to support “critical IT production never interrupted” thanks to robust uptime and maintainability commitments. 
• The facility provides French-based data-sovereignty advantages for public-sector, enterprise, and regulated-industry customers.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• Located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region near Lyon — a strong connectivity corridor in France — the facility supports carrier-neutral colocation and hybrid-cloud access.
• The site offers infrastructure prepared for high-density workloads and network-rich connectivity options, making it suitable for interconnection, cross-connects and advanced network services.

💼 Who It Serves

• Enterprises and mid-market organisations based in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region (and broader France) seeking high-availability, secure colocation or private-cloud infrastructure.
• Public-sector bodies or regulated-industry firms requiring French-based data infrastructure with sovereign control and strong certifications.
• Cloud, SaaS or hosting providers looking to deploy equipment in France with high power-density support and carrier-neutral connectivity.
• Technology-intensive users (e.g., HPC, AI/ML workloads) needing high-density racks (up to 20 kW) and a resilient facility built to Tier IV equivalent standards.
