Two challenges are redefining data centers.
Digital infrastructure no longer just hosts servers. Today it sits at the heart of two major transformations for businesses: sovereign control over their data, and the rise of artificial intelligence.
Sovereignty & cybersecurity
IT departments must regain control of their critical infrastructure: data protection, compliance, resilience, and independence from hyperscalers.
AI & energy efficiency
The explosion in GPU compute needs and the growth of AI workloads demand infrastructure that is both more powerful and more energy-efficient.
Ethical Internet Exchange
To meet these new challenges, ETIX builds infrastructure that is independent from carriers, high-performing, and designed to limit its environmental impact.
An open architecture that gives businesses the freedom to build their own resilience.
Multi-carrier
Freedom to choose and combine connectivity providers.
Resilience
Redundant architectures with no single point of failure.
Sovereignty
Full control of infrastructure, with no imposed dependency.
Cost optimization
Competition between carriers works in the client’s favor.
Environmental performance as an intrinsic feature of the infrastructure, not an option.
Energy efficiency
Designed and operated to reduce consumption.
Resource optimization
Natural cooling, low-carbon systems, near-zero water consumption.
Emissions reduction
A committed trajectory toward carbon neutrality.
Responsible operations
Certified and audited by independent third parties.
Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact
ETIX joined this initiative as early as 2021, setting a clear timeframe for its decarbonization trajectory.
Responsible operations, measured and audited
Five concrete levers turn these commitments into verifiable results, from regulatory reporting to reusing waste heat from our sites.
Non-financial reporting
Transparent and compliant with European requirements.
- Aligned with the Taxonomy and CSRD.
- Ready for enhanced non-financial reporting.
Local presence
Regional data centers, close to their users.
- Proximity to clients, site by site.
- Fewer kilometers, fewer emissions.
EcoVadis
First rating obtained in 2025.
- Gold level from the very first assessment.
Investments
Energy efficiency built step by step.
- Targeted investments in technical infrastructure.
- Goal: improve energy efficiency, site after site.
Heat reuse
Waste heat becomes a resource.
- At ETIX Lille #3, it heats the Convention Center.
Excellence validated by independent audits.
Six certifications covering security, environment, health, and payments. Far beyond simple claims, this is certified compliance, validated by third-party bodies.
Information security
Risk assessment, access control, and continuous security improvement.
Health data hosting
Mandatory French certification for hosting health data.
Payment security
Certified infrastructure for processing payment card data.
Environmental management
Structured framework for reducing waste, emissions, and resource consumption.
Energy management
Monitoring energy efficiency and systematically reducing consumption.
European Code of Conduct
Voluntary European Commission program for sustainable data centers.
27001 ISO
14001 ISO
50001 HDS PCI
