100% SOVEREIGN DATA CENTERS.

(no “ifs, buts, or maybes”.)

Our starting point: sovereign, high-performance data centers. No interference. No backdoors. No compromises.

Proven know-how drives proven results.

20+ years delivering high-performance data centers 

For over 20 years, we have designed, built, and operated high-performance data center infrastructure across France and Europe. This means experienced in-house teams with real on-the-ground know-how. 

We know what it takes

Working directly in operations for some of Europe’s most demanding data center environments means consistently meeting SLAs, solving challenges with teams who know every system inside out, and building client relationships that last.

    Where our story begins

    Our data center journey started with ISDNet Europe — the infrastructure company that laid the foundations of what would become Opcore. In 2008, ISDNet was integrated into Online S.A.S, founded by Arnaud de Bermingham, which later became Scaleway. The expertise built then lives on in everything we do today.

  • 2009
    Retail colocation takes off

    Iliad Datacenter is created as a neutral retail colocation business, marking a major strategic step and the beginning of our colocation expertise.

  • 2015
    1st certified Tier III data center in France

    Our Paris data center PAR3 becomes the first in France to receive Tier III certification from the Uptime Institute, a landmark milestone cementing our commitment to the highest standards of reliability and performance.

  • 2015
    Hello, Bigscale & Hyperscale

    We launch our bigscale and hyperscale offering, opening a new chapter in large-scale data center services, with our first hyperscale contract signed the following year in 2016.

  • 2020
    Expertise united

    The Scaleway brand brings together ONLINE, Dedibox, and Iliad Datacenter, uniting infrastructure, cloud, and data center expertise.

  • 2023
    New name. Same proven expertise.

    In 2023, our data center business is carved out of Scaleway to become Opcore SAS — a fully independent company. From day one, Opcore integrates the data center portfolios of Free Pro and Play in Poland, establishing itself as a multi-asset European operator with immediate scale.

Data center sovereignty starts here.

  • #1
    Power, secured at the source.

    We do not constrain our clients with a rigid energy procurement policy. We have neither PPAs nor long-term commitments. We develop our energy procurement policy hand in hand with our clients to seize the best opportunities and secure the energy they need at the right price. Since 2018, Opcore has sourced exclusively renewable energy.. 

  • #2
    Innovation built in-house, not borrowed.

    We are one of the few datacenter operators to control the entire value-chain, from design to operations, in-house with highly experimented engineers. We also fully control (hardware and software) all ultra-critical physical security (access control) and monitoring (BMS) equipment.

  • #3
    Sovereign by design

    We are a European company with European capital. Our governance is protected and guarantees strategic independence and immunity from extraterritorial laws by default.

  • #4
    Rooted in Europe

    Capital, decisions, and control stay where they should: close to the infrastructure, close to your business, and close to Europe.

  • #5
    Native European Regulatory Compliance

    Natively aligned with GDPR and European regulatory standards, 

    For organizations facing strict sovereignty, security, or compliance requirements, we are a natural partner, not a compromise. 

HYPERSCALER PERFORMANCE, EUROPEAN CONTROL, CARBON-NEUTRAL OPERATIONS: WE'RE NOT ADAPTING INFRASTRUCTURE — WE'RE DESIGNING IT FOR TOMORROW'S DEMANDS." Hugues Bodin (CHIEF TECHNICAL OFFICER)

Our CSR commitments,
in action.

  • #1 - Environment

    Our modular HDD design externalizes cooling and power units, reducing material use and on-site construction waste. 

    Every module is factory-tested before deployment, minimizing unnecessary resource consumption.

  • #2 - People

    We build expertise from within and retain it. 

    Our low staff turnover keeps +20 years of operational knowledge alive, our SLAs unbroken, and our clients' infrastructure in the hands of people who know it by heart.

  • #3 - Energy

    We have direct access to electricity markets and source our energy in line with each client’s procurement and environmental responsibility policies. Our key metrics (such as PUE and WUE) are audited and publicly accessible in real time. Our HDD technology enables a PUE of less than 1.2 across all our new data centers.

  • #4 - Ethics & Governance

    100% European capital. 
    100% in-house R&D. 
    100% GDPR-native.
