Scaleway: WAW3 Data Center

Scaleway’s Eastern European presence is anchored via its Warsaw region, where the company offers an Availability Zone in a Polish data-center ecosystem that sits within the major Warsaw hub.While Scaleway does not publicly list a specific “WAW3” branded building under its own name with full infrastructure specs, it references three data-centres in Warsaw and the “WAW3” naming convention appears tied to the campus operated by Atman (Atman Data Center Warsaw-3). The region offers a strategic east-central European location—providing lower latency coverage for Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, the Balkans, Eastern Germany, and Scandinavia. With a strong focus on European cloud sovereignty, Scaleway’s Warsaw footprint enhances its multi-region, multi-AZ architecture and supports enterprise-grade workloads, especially for customers requiring EU-centric data infrastructure.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• Scaleway provides its Warsaw region as one of its multi-AZ deployments, enabling scalability, redundancy, and local data sovereignty in Eastern Europe. 
• The underlying data-centre campus (Atman WAW-3) offers targeted IT power of 43 MW and is designed for hyperscale, high-density deployments. 
• The first building of the WAW-3 campus provides approximately 6,324 m² (≈ 68,000 sq ft) of net IT space with ~14.4 MW of IT power. 
• The facility is designed with high floor-loading capabilities (up to ~2,400 kN/m²) and supports high-density racks—suitable for modern AI, HPC or cloud-native workloads.
• Scaleway emphasises sustainability and transparency: its data-centres are powered by 100 % renewable energy and its published PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) metrics are available.

🔐 Security & Compliance

• Scaleway states that its data-centres are “certified data centers” operating under European standards, with compliance to GDPR, ISO / HDS certifications and strong security measures. 
• At the underlying campus (Atman WAW-3) multiple security layers include CCTV, zone access control, intrusion detection systems, 24/7 onsite surveillance and dedicated security zones for each building. 
• Infrastructure is built to exceed Tier III standard requirements (for the Atman facility) and includes precision cooling, high-resilience power, and support for demanding enterprise workloads. 

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• The Warsaw region is located in a major Eastern European digital hub and offers excellent connectivity to Central & Eastern European markets, reducing latency and enabling robust multi-region architectures
• While Scaleway does not publish a full list of carriers specific to WAW3, it emphasises multi-cloud, multi-AZ connectivity across its data-centres — meaning users benefit from resilient network topology and choice of interconnects. 
• The underlying data-centre campus is described as carrier-neutral, with diverse and redundant fibre-optic cabling systems, making cross-connects and network-rich deployments possible.

💼 Who It Serves

• Enterprises and technology providers seeking European-based cloud infrastructure with data sovereignty, multi-AZ redundancy, and coverage across Eastern Europe.
• AI, Machine Learning and HPC-intensive workloads that require high-density compute, power and future-proof infrastructure (given the campus’s high-power design).
• Service providers, SaaS vendors, media or streaming companies that need low-latency access into CEE markets and an EU-compliant infrastructure.
• Organisations looking to avoid vendor lock-in, requiring a regional cloud provider with strong connectivity, scale and domestic presence in Poland.
