Two challenges are redefining data centres.
Digital infrastructure is no longer just about hosting servers. It now 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 need to regain control over their critical infrastructure: data protection, compliance, resilience and independence from hyperscalers.
AI & energy efficiency
Soaring demand for GPU computing and growing AI workloads call for infrastructure that is more powerful, but also uses less energy.
Ethical Internet Exchange
To meet these new challenges, ETIX builds carrier-neutral infrastructure that delivers high performance and is designed to limit its environmental impact.
An open architecture that leaves businesses free 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 over the infrastructure, with no imposed dependency.
Cost optimisation
Competition between carriers works in the customer’s favour.
Environmental performance as an intrinsic feature of the infrastructure, not an option.
Energy efficiency
Designed and operated to reduce consumption.
Resource optimisation
Free cooling, low-carbon systems, near-zero water consumption.
Emissions reduction
A committed pathway towards 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 timeline for its decarbonisation pathway.
Responsible operations, measured and audited
Five concrete levers turn these commitments into verifiable results, from regulatory reporting to reusing the waste heat from our sites.
Non-financial reporting
Transparent and compliant with European requirements.
- Aligned with the EU Taxonomy and the CSRD.
- Ready for stricter non-financial reporting requirements.
Local presence
Regional data centres, close to their users.
- Close to customers, site by site.
- Fewer kilometres, fewer emissions.
EcoVadis
Score achieved in 2026, up from Bronze level (2025).
- From Bronze to Gold in a single assessment.
Investment
Energy efficiency, built step by step.
- Targeted investment in technical infrastructure.
- Goal: improve energy efficiency, site by site.
Heat reuse
The heat we generate becomes a resource.
- At ETIX Lille #3, it heats the Convention Centre.
Excellence validated by independent audits.
Five certifications covering security, the environment, health and payments. Going well beyond mere claims: certified compliance, validated by third-party bodies.
Information security
Risk assessment, access control and continuous improvement of security.
Health data hosting
Mandatory French certification for hosting health data.
Payment security
Infrastructure certified for processing payment card data.
Environmental management
A structured framework for reducing waste, emissions and resource consumption.
