Building tomorrow’s datacenter, today

Data processing has become a real socio-economic challenge for public and private organisations, no matter where they are based. With digital technology already representing 5.5% of France’s GDP, the Internet of Things market is set to reach around 1525 billion euros by 2020. As well as this exponential growth, demand is increasing for low-latency, high-speed connections which alone generate several million euros online every minute.

At the same time, Greenpeace is warning us that the internet is one of the world’s biggest energy consumers and that datacenters represent 4% of worldwide energy use, with annual growth of 5%. In light of such challenges, JERLAURE is taking a truly ethical and responsible approach, designing datacenters which are connected to their environment and use renewable energy.

In addition, with large datacenters requiring intercontinental cable landing, the development of the Internet of Things and the cloud has generated increased demand for local datacenters close to users which allow for lower latencies and more reliable exchanges as well as unclogging networks. As well as these purely technical elements, philosophy and ethics are at play. There is a new concept of harnessing and sharing the digital economy to allow ICT stakeholders, cloud operators, ISPs and public/private companies to enhance their local digital economies as they develop.

An economy that provides a fair return to those who create it appears to be a good solution. Indeed, JERLAURE subscribes to this approach and combines cutting-edge technologies to create new solutions which meet developing market requirements.
