zColo France SAS

The data centres, operating under the name "zColo France SAS," are situated in key locations, including Paris, Toulouse, and Montpellier. DataBank originally acquired these facilities as part of the zColo transaction in 2020, and the sale represents a deliberate shift in focus for the company.

DataBank emphasized the decision: "This transaction allows DataBank to focus capital and resources on our core US market." With a remaining portfolio of over 65 data centres across more than 27 markets, DataBank retains its position as the leading-edge data centre provider in the United States, surpassing both public and private competitors in terms of facilities and market coverage.
