High service availability, 120 computer racks that can accommodate up to 5,000 servers, a usable surface area of 450 m²: the Data Centre of the University of Strasbourg is the result of an ambitious project initiated in 2013. This state-of-the-art infrastructure, which has been operational since November 2019, aims at providing the university and its institutional and academic partners with a unique hosting facility for their IT equipment and data. The Real Estate Department and the Digital Department called upon EBRC to design and build this highly technical space.
Romaric David, Head of the Data Centre at the University of Strasbourg, recounts the background of this successful partnership.
