NEXEREN

NEXEREN is a French-owned, carrier-neutral data centre operator located in the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region (with key sites near Lyon and Clermont-Ferrand). Founded in 2013 (formerly known as SHD – Solutions d’Hébergement Durable) and part of the XEFI Group family, NEXEREN offers high-performance colocation and hosting services that emphasise sovereignty, connectivity and high operational standards. Positioned near major European Internet axes, it benefits from its Rhône valley location for strong connectivity and latency performance. 

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• Certified to Dual Tier III (“Design” & “Facility”) standards by the Uptime Institute. 
• Capable of supporting high electrical density workloads (e.g., up to 20 kW per rack) and infrastructure built for HPC/AI workloads. 
• Modular, scalable facility design supporting growth in power, surface area and connectivity. 
• Carrier-neutral data centres, offering access to multiple operators and abundant fiber connectivity along the Rhône-Alps corridor. 
• Low PUE (power usage effectiveness) emphasis with efficient cooling and infrastructure design, reducing operating cost burden. 

🔐 Security & Compliance

• 24/7 operations and monitoring with a reliability track-record of 99.99%+ electrical availability. 
• Access controls, CCTV surveillance, and infrastructure designed to meet public- and private-sector standards of security. (Implied by certification and target markets)
• High certification level across design and operations, enabling support for regulated or critical workloads.
• Infrastructure built for resilience (redundant feeds, high density support, etc) to safeguard mission-critical systems.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• Carrier-neutral facility: clients can choose from multiple telecom operators rather than being locked to one provider. 
• Stations located on a major European Internet axis (Rhône valley), providing excellent bandwidth, low latency and strong connectivity options.
• Support for high‐speed connectivity services: e.g., dedicated IP transit, connectivity from 100 Mbit/s up to 400 Gbit/s. 
• Able to serve as a colocation and interconnection hub for enterprises, cloud/back-end providers and network infrastructure growth.

💼 Who It Serves

• Enterprises (including public sector, regulated industries) in France seeking sovereign, high-availability colocation infrastructure in a regional (non-Paris) location.
• High-performance workloads such as AI, HPC or GPU compute, given the high-density rack support.
• Service providers and cloud/back-end firms requiring connectivity-rich, carrier-neutral sites with options for scaling.
• Organisations looking for cost-efficient alternatives to major metro centres, yet still benefiting from strong network connectivity.
