Frequently Asked Questions
Colocation pricing depends on the footprint: rack count, power draw per rack, cross-connects, IP transit and contract term (12 to 36 months initial, then automatic 12-month renewals). Lille runs below Paris on real estate and power for the same Tier III standard. Tell us the space and power you need and we return a firm quote within one business day. No obligation.
Lille sits 220 km from Paris on an independent power grid, outside the capital's flood-risk area, with sub-10 ms to London and sub-5 ms to Brussels. Same Tier III standard and carrier access at lower cost. It fits UK/Benelux coverage or a Paris disaster recovery site.
A quarter to full rack is ready in 5 to 7 business days. A private cage takes 10 to 14 days for buildout and security configuration. Cross-connects land within 24 to 48 hours. Delivery starts once the contract and access list are signed.
Tier III means concurrently maintainable: every power and cooling path has redundancy, so any component can be serviced without dropping your load. That backs the 99.99% uptime SLA, roughly 52 minutes of downtime per year.
