The right location depends on what you run. These are the points worth checking first, before you start comparing colocation offers.
The closer your servers are to your users, the lower the latency. Also look at how many carriers are present in the building and how far it is to the nearest internet exchange point (IXP), such as France-IX in Paris or DE-CIX in Frankfurt: that is what shapes your interconnection options and network redundancy.
Electricity is a large share of what you pay for colocation. Price per kWh, energy mix and the power available per rack vary a lot from one country to the next. For high-density AI or GPU workloads, check the power capacity actually available and the cooling options right from the start.
Keeping your data in the European Union makes GDPR compliance simpler and limits exposure to extraterritorial laws. Some sectors add their own requirements, such as HDS certification for health data in France, or data residency rules in finance and the public sector.
A cool climate allows more free cooling and brings PUE down. Flood-prone, seismic or very hot areas, on the other hand, call for extra precautions. The risks identified for each city are listed on its page.
A nearby train station or airport makes on-site work and audit visits much easier. If your teams are far away, check that the datacenter offers remote hands for routine operations.
Whether you are a data center owner or a company looking for hosting, the Datalok marketplace connects you to the best opportunities on the market.
