PMP in partnership with the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations published in 2014 a practical guide to help local players structure their thinking and their action in terms of local Datacenters.

The purpose of this practical guide is to fuel the reflection of local public actors

who are planning to embark on a local data center project and who

are wondering how to carry it out: using an existing offer and/or developing a local datacenter?

This practical guide addresses the main questions that arise during such a process:

• A local datacenter: what are the goals?
• What are the typical characteristics of a local data center project?
• What are the different possible strategic options of the public actor?
• What are the possible public-private arrangements?
• What are the main conditions of economic equilibrium for a project of this type?
