SFR SA: Canteleu Data Center

The Canteleu (Leu) data center, officially listed as “SFR MSC Canteleu”, is operated by SFR SA and is situated at 111 Rue du Chêne à Leu, 76380 Canteleu, in the Normandy region of France. This facility represents SFR’s local interconnection and data handling capabilities in the Rouen area. While specific strategic advantages are not extensively documented, its regional positioning likely supports local network resilience and connectivity in Normandy.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• Raised Floor Area: The facility spans approximately 220 m² of data center space 
• Power Infrastructure: Mention is made of a “robust infrastructure” with redundant power feeds and backup generators to ensure uninterrupted operation
• Cooling Systems: Efficient cooling systems are indicated to maintain optimal server operation under sustained load

🔐 Security & Compliance

• Security Measures: The facility is safeguarded by multiple layers of security, featuring 24/7 surveillance, access controls, and physical barriers to deter unauthorized access 
• Certifications & Compliance: There is no publicly available information regarding formal industry certifications (e.g., ISO, Uptime Tier, SOC), so none are included to avoid speculation.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• Network Connectivity: According to PeeringDB data, the data center hosts at least one network provider—Quantic Telecom (ASN 198507)—with a connectivity capacity of approximately 10–20 Gbps, primarily handling inbound European traffic 
• Carrier Neutrality & Exchanges: There are no explicit details confirming whether the facility is carrier-neutral, nor is there mention of Internet Exchange Point (IXP) presence or broader interconnection services beyond Quantic Telecom; such information is omitted due to lack of verification.

💼 Who It Serves

• Regional ISPs & Telco Operators: Given its modest size and connection to Quantic Telecom, the facility is likely tailored to regional internet service providers or telecommunication operators requiring local aggregation or peering capabilities.
• Local Enterprise Customers: Entities in Normandy that require reliable, locally based network connectivity—such as small enterprises or municipal services—could benefit from this data center’s infrastructure.
