MAXNOD

MAXNOD is a French data center and infrastructure brand operated by Adeli, a regional telecom and IT operator based in the Ain department near Lyon. Public materials position MAXNOD as a high-availability data center platform serving the Rhône Alpes Auvergne market, with colocation, server hosting, and fiber-driven interconnection services. The official site describes MAXNOD as created in 2009, rebuilt for reopening in April 2025, and tied closely to Adeli’s broader network footprint and internet exchange presence.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

Data Center Footprint:

MAXNOD publicly presents a single data center site in Saint Trivier sur Moignans, near Lyon. Third party infrastructure directories and interconnection databases consistently show one MAXNOD facility at Route de Sandrans in Saint Trivier sur Moignans, operated by Adeli.

The official site markets the facility as a Lyon area data center positioned for regional high availability and fast fiber access. Its access page places the site about 35 minutes from Lyon and says it is interconnected with Lyon, Paris, and Geneva.

MAXNOD’s current public positioning also reflects a major rebuild cycle. The official homepage states the site was fully rebuilt for an opening in April 2025, while third party reporting confirms the Saint Trivier sur Moignans data center suffered a serious fire in March 2023.

Facility Design & Infrastructure:

The official site describes MAXNOD as a high availability data center aligned to “Tier4” positioning and says it was created with energy performance in mind. It also highlights dedicated sections for power, cooling, security, and fiber operator access as core parts of the facility profile.

MAXNOD’s published news items indicate continued infrastructure investment, including installation of 560 rooftop solar panels in January 2020, 1,260 additional solar panels above parking areas in April 2021, a new chilled water unit in August 2017, and ARISTA 100G core network upgrades in September 2016.

The broader Adeli network presence around the site is also reflected in PeeringDB, which lists the MAXNOD facility in Saint Trivier sur Moignans and shows four networks present there, including Adeli and Lasotel.

Service Portfolio Overview:

MAXNOD publicly markets server hosting and colocation-oriented services through its data center site. The company presents the facility as a hosting environment built around availability, security, and performance.

Adeli’s public telecom materials reinforce that the operator’s wider service portfolio includes fiber internet access for residential and business users, messaging, backup-related services, and data center services. Those materials explicitly tie the MAXNOD data center to Adeli’s broader network and service platform.

The interconnection profile is stronger than a basic local hosting site. Adeli publishes connectivity through multiple exchange ecosystems and peering locations, while MAXNOD itself is listed as an interconnection facility in PeeringDB.

🔐 Security & Compliance

Infrastructure Resilience:

MAXNOD’s official messaging is centered on high availability and Tier4-style positioning. The site describes the facility as the only high-availability data center in the Rhône Alpes region responding to Tier4 specifications and says the rebuilt site is intended to meet newer customer requirements.

The company’s public certification page also says MAXNOD has run a long-term quality program since September 2015 aimed at ISO 27001:2022 certification and health-data-hosting related approval efforts. That same page says risk evaluation and infrastructure failure prevention are part of the program.

Physical & Logical Security:

Security is one of the core pillars presented on the official MAXNOD site, alongside energy, cooling, and fiber operations. The certification page further frames MAXNOD’s quality initiative around information security and customer trust.

Because the facility suffered a major fire in March 2023, resilience and recovery are especially relevant to its current profile. The official homepage’s reference to a full reconstruction for April 2025 indicates the present site positioning is post-rebuild rather than legacy-only.

Compliance & Standards:

MAXNOD says it is pursuing ISO 27001:2022 certification. The official certification page also references work toward approval related to hosting health data.

The official homepage continues to describe the facility as being “en cours de certification,” so the available evidence supports an active certification program rather than a clearly published completed ISO 27001 certification status on the current public site.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

Carrier Neutrality:

MAXNOD is not presented as a classic multi-tenant retail carrier-neutral marketplace in the same style as major pan-European colocation brands. However, the facility is clearly interconnection-oriented: PeeringDB lists MAXNOD as a facility with multiple networks present, and the official site emphasizes access to fast optical fiber and regional interconnection.

Network Capabilities:

Adeli states it is connected to several internet exchange points, including LyonIX, CIXP, TOPIX, Equinix, FranceIX, and AMSIX, and says it has been connected to LyonIX since 2006 through an optical loop to optimize network and internet services.

PeeringDB shows Adeli, under ASN 43142, with public peering at CIXP, Equinix Paris, France-IX AURA, and France-IX Paris. It also lists interconnection presence at MAXNOD, CERN Geneva, Telehouse Paris 2, and UltraEdge Lyon-Venissieux.

The MAXNOD access page says the site is interconnected with Lyon, Paris, and Geneva, which aligns with Adeli’s broader exchange and interconnection footprint.

Connectivity Use Cases:

The published profile fits customers looking for regional colocation or hosted infrastructure near Lyon with direct fiber-based connectivity into larger French and nearby international interconnection hubs.

It also fits organizations that value regional hosting combined with Adeli’s telecom network, exchange participation, and peering-rich connectivity model.

💼 Who It Serves

Organizations seeking Lyon area colocation or server hosting in a French domestic facility.

Customers that need fiber-based connectivity and access to a regional operator with exchange and peering presence.

Businesses looking for a combined data center and telecom provider rather than a pure colocation-only operator.
