Orange DC Normandie

Orange DC Normandie is a state-of-the-art data center located in the heart of Normandy, France. This facility is part of Orange's commitment to providing advanced data services while maintaining a strong focus on energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. The data center boasts a significant 16,000 square meters of space, with 5,000 square meters dedicated to computer rooms, designed to host a wide range of data and services for both business customers and the general public.

The architectural design of Orange DC Normandie allows for the utilization of 'free cooling' techniques, which leverage the external air to naturally cool the equipment for more than 10 months each year. This innovative approach reduces the data center's energy consumption by 30% compared to previous generation data centers. Additionally, Orange has secured Power Purchase Agreements with renewable energy providers to cover the data center's power needs, further emphasizing its commitment to a sustainable future.

With an energy efficiency indicator estimated at 1.3, Orange DC Normandie ranks among the most efficient data centers in France. It represents a strategic asset for Orange, enabling the company to support the increasing demand for digital services while significantly reducing its carbon footprint. The data center is a key component in Orange's plan to consolidate its data hosting facilities, aiming to close 17 historical data centers by 2030 and centralize national data hosting in these new generation facilities.
