Infrastructure — le datacentre francilien

On behalf of its members, UNIF operates the Île-de-France regional datacenter , certified by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research. In cooperation with local authorities via a GIE and relying on a professional datacenter operator, Euclyde, UNIF is thus able to offer hosting of tier 3+ server bays, network interconnections and essential local gestures to your IT department.

New services such as computing bays, hosting of virtual machines or research data are under study or in the process of being finalized.

Our DataKairos tool , developed with the help of the Île-de-France region and the Caisse des Dépôts, provides decision-making support on the opportunity to migrate to the regional data center on which your establishment depends, taking into account environmental issues.
