Datacenter
A secure physical site that brings together the servers, storage, network and redundant cooling and power systems required to operate an information system reliably. Hexceos operates its own multi-site datacenter in France.
What a datacenter is
A datacenter is a secure physical facility that brings together IT equipment (servers, storage, networking) and their supporting systems (cooling, redundant power, access control, fire detection) required for the continuous operation of an information system.
Datacenters vary widely in resilience and sovereignty. They can be operated by hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP), by colocation operators (Equinix, Digital Realty, Interxion), by sovereign European providers, or directly by the consuming organisation.
Why an in-house datacenter
Operating your own datacenter is more expensive than renting cloud capacity, but it preserves three things:
- Legal sovereignty — no exposure to extraterritorial laws (US Cloud Act, similar Chinese laws);
- Technical sovereignty — the operators are your own staff, hardware supply chain is controlled;
- Data sovereignty — your data and all the telemetry around it stays where you choose.
Datacenter at Hexceos
Hexceos operates a sovereign multi-site datacenter in France (Île-de-France and Occitanie), certified for hosting health data (HDS). Used both for client workloads and for the telemetry generated by our SOC and Sentinel XDR.
