Plans to consolidate 17 data centers to just three by 2030
French telco Orange has opened two data centers in its home market
The company this month announced the commissioning of two new data centers
in Amilly in the Centre-Val de Loire region and in Val-de-Reuil in Normandy in France
Both buildings span 16,000 sqm (172,200 sq ft) with 5,000 sqm (53,800 sq ft) of computer rooms
The telco said the two new facilities will use an outside-air free-cooling system for around 10 months of the year and operate with a PUE of around 1.3
Orange began work on the Normandy 2 facility in 2019 and was due to be completed in 2020; the first facility on the 18-hectare campus was commissioned in 2012
Development on Amilly began around the same time
Orange has entered into Power Purchase Agreements with Boralex, Engie, and TotalEnergies to cover the energy consumption of the three data centers with energy from renewable sources
The three deals total 170MW from wind and solar sources across the country
deputy CEO of Orange Group and CEO of Orange France
said: “These new data centers are truly strategic assets for the Group
They support the growth of our internal usage and that of our customers
in a framework of trust while significantly reducing energy and environmental footprint.”
Dulac said the new facilities mark a “significant milestone” around the company's consolidation of its data center fleet
“By 2030 our 17 historical data centers will have closed and all our hosting activities will be concentrated on these three new ones,” he said

sponsored content in collaboration with sunday
After joining Deliveroo in its infancy and going on to help it become the tech giant it now is
a company working to pioneer innovative payment solutions for restaurants
CODE talked to Elisabeth about her passion for hospitality
and then you combine that with origins from the south of France
which is really the capital of deliciousness when it comes to food…
I wanted to have a restaurant when I was 16
But no one was an entrepreneur in my family – there was no emphasis around doing your own thing
I decided to go to business school and then I moved to London
it was not as good for a young intern to start when there was a major change happening in the economy
I started in this kind of madness.
I quickly realised that I didn’t want to do banking
but I like the idea of doing something that I like when I wake up in the morning
This grew in me particularly when I was doing long hours on something I was not interested in
I figured that I don’t mind the long hours if I’m actually passionate
I’m not going to launch my own restaurant
‘I’m going to do the second-best thing.’ And the second-best thing for me was to work for restaurants.
I joined Deliveroo at a relatively early stage
I did different roles and I was fortunate enough to always be on the restaurants team
It was my first real introduction to the restaurant world
I was dreaming of a job where I would be more involved in the hospitality part of things
And I was lucky enough to be contacted by sunday.
I love the idea that you could change something as simple or as weird
Because no one really goes to a restaurant to pay
This the idea that you’re going to change payments through QR codes
But I quickly realised the benefits that it has for restaurants – when you replace these 15 awkward moments when you’re waiting for the bill
which means that – especially if you’re high traffic – you’re going to be able to serve more customers
you’re very happy that the staff doesn’t have to run after payment terminals
That’s also very much a benefit for the staff.
We have a team that comes from hospitality
And we work very closely with the restaurants to explain how we can fit into the customer journey
as opposed to just saying: ‘Here’s a QR code
That’s why I think we are hospitality
And it ends up with the staff entailing a lot more tips than they used to
We allow restaurants tools to get more in touch with the customer
We’ve launched a system where you can review and rate the restaurant internally for bouncing back and improvements
what you can do with payments – when you don’t make it just for payments.
essentially defining the strategy for the markets
how do we approach the hospitality industry – it’s a £60 billion industry
You cannot just go after restaurants without any strategy
You have to understand where you’re going
what type of restaurant you can bring the most value to with the current product
what kind of markets you can address.
I don’t think it’s only related to hospitality
I am a mentor to a few people from business school who are young graduates
and I always say the same thing: it’s really important that you build your self-confidence
because there will always be imposter syndrome
And number two: choose to work for people that you actually admire
as opposed to making you doubt your own abilities
Find people who challenge you in the right way and respect you because
there’s only a given amount of hours in the day
I’ve seen too much of these contexts
We’re launching a new part of our business model
which is going to be based on SAS – ‘software as a service’
you subscribe to extra services that are going to bring you much more than payment.
We know that right now restaurants have a lot of questions around how they can differentiate themselves versus another restaurant
how do they keep their relationship with their customers
especially when they haven’t been booked through a platform like SevenRooms
especially if you pay in cash or at a payment terminal
They will never be able to reach out to you and say
we would love to offer you a free ramen because you’ve been here seven times now
We’d love to reward you.’
we’ve always had a strong relationship with them
They went from 200 tips a month per site to 1,000
because we’re co-building this with the restaurants
And I think that’s where having this restaurateurs’ heart that is coming from our founder is pretty cool
We’re thinking as restaurants as opposed to just as tech.

Alberta Pane Gallery is pleased to present
the first solo show in Venice by French artist Marie Lelouche (Saint-Junien
Interested in the evolution of forms in their technical and cultural context
the artist works through a multidisciplinary approach and with a focus on remix practices
In this solo exhibition Marie Lelouche presents both new works conceived for the gallery space in Venice and works belonging to two preexisting series (Failed to Synchronize and Out of Spaces)
respectively at Fabbrica Alta in Schio (Italy) in 2019 and at Les Tanneries - Centre d’art contemporain (Amilly
These installations have a strong connection with the territory
the architecture and the building in which they were conceived and created
The artist readapts them to the space in order to weave a dialogue with the Venice gallery that houses them
The space becomes dichotomous: at once real and virtual
the abstract motifs that decorate the sculptures and carpet in Failed to Synchronize have a familiar yet ungraspable appearance; they evoke the impossibility of the memory to reconstruct the past
as well as the fleetingness of layering memories
A song created by the artist also accompanies the work and provide visitors with a multisensory experience
play on the concepts of the French words espèce (species) and espaces (outdoor and indoor spaces)
creatures capable of filling the places they inhabit through the sounds they emit and that serve as reminders for human beings of the passing of time
whose practice deals with different forms of spatiality
Marie Lelouche graduated from Ensba in Paris
obtained a Master's degree in Visual Arts at La Sorbonne (Paris)
and completed a program at Le Fresnoy with honours of the jury
She is currently finishing a PhD/creation in post-digital sculpture at Le Fresnoy (Tourcoing
France) in collaboration with UQAM (Montreal
Her colorful and multi-faceted work - which tends to abstraction - has been shown in several solo exhibitions
Spazio Thetis (Venice) or Centre d'Art Contemporain Les Tanneries (Amilly
The artist’s next project is in collaboration with the Jeu de Paume in Paris; she will present an online creation accompanied by events taking place at the museum

Team Jumbo-Visma is looking forward to tomorrow’s time trial with confidence after the second stage in Paris-Nice. The Dutch team brought their leader Primoz Roglic to the finish line in Amilly without any problems.
The stage once again had a nervous and hectic outcome with the threat for echelons and several crashes. National Champion George Bennett crashed in the final of the stage, but was able to continue and reach the finish.
Sports director Grischa Niermann looked back on the stage with mixed feelings. “It was a nervous stage and the last fifty kilometres were very dangerous at some points. There was also not enough wind to split the peloton apart. In the end, we survived the stage with Primoz well. So that’s good. George’s crash was a setback. We will have to see how he is doing.”
Tomorrow is the first real test for the overall standings. The third stage is a time trial of a little over fourteen kilometres. Niermann looked forward to the race against the clock with confidence. “We know that Primoz can do a good time trial, but he is certainly not the top favourite for the stage victory.”

data takes the highway – just like the rest of us
Global communications are based on high capacity long-distance carrier networks
We’re one of the main operators of these national
international and sometimes even intercontinental “information superhighways”
we maintain a national network to connect towns and cities
The national network is then connected to the rest of the world
transporting voice and data traffic over long distances
It mainly employs optical fibres but can also rely on radio links between satellite dishes – especially in countries where terrestrial networks are not so well developed and where customers are more reliant on mobile communications
We’re one of the major operators able to connect long-distance networks between countries
in particular when it comes to submarine cables
which support the majority of intercontinental communications today
We have deployed 188,000km of our own cables and have a stake in around 450,000km in total
enough to travel 10 times around the world
To build out these submarine cable networks
we partner with various stakeholders including other operators
private companies and major internet service providers
We contribute to 50 different consortia covering various routes
from the North Atlantic and the Caribbean to Europe-Asia and Europe-Africa
In addition to our terrestrial and submarine cables
we’re also using satellite communications to offer certain services (such as our business customers’ maritime fleets) and to connect remote sites across Africa
We lease capacity from satellite operators such as Eutelsat
Teleports are terrestrial sites equipped with large satellite dishes
which provide a gateway between communication satellites and the terrestrial “backbone”
We operate one of the largest teleports in Europe at our Bercenay-en-Othe site in France

process and deliver our customers’ data across our various networks
We own 75 data centres across all our main operating countries in Europe
If telecommunications are a bit like a nervous system comprising cables and radio links
This is where we manage all of our customers’ traffic and store their data in thousands of servers
We invest heavily each year to make sure our data centres are using the latest technologies while increasing capacity and improving energy efficiency

“The new Onroak Automotive site in Amilly will be able
to work in synergy with the Everspeed group’s other companies
Thanks to our new activity we will be well placed to create fresh opportunities to collaborate with the major manufacturers.”
“The Tork Engineering teams and I are very happy and proud to be joining Onroak Automotive,” said Richard Tur
“After almost five great years with Poclain Véhicules
we’re looking forward to writing a new chapter in our history and contributing to the development of the Everspeed group.”

Alberto Contador only returned to France for functions
Paris-Nice marks his first race back on French territory
"It's another symbol to me because I won it two years ago," the Spaniard explained at his hotel in Ferrières-en-Gâtinais
"I was frustrated last year when I was not able to defend my title and I'm happy to be back
This year, Contador has decided to not take part in any race for the purpose of training. Only if he's got a chance to win will he line up. "Paris-Nice is a very important race, it justifies the first part of the season," he commented. "Shall I win it again, it would for sure give me the confidence for the Tour de France. In any case I won't draw any conclusion and I'll avoid comparisons with 2007."
After the Tour of the Basque country, Contador will decide whether or not he'll compete in the Flèche Wallone or Liège-Bastogne-Liège, or both.

By commissioning two new data centers, in Amilly in the Centre-Val de Loire region and in Val-de-Reuil in Normandy, where the first data center has been in operation since 2012, Orange is placing the energy efficiency of its infrastructures at the heart of its Net Zero Carbon goal by 2040. The two identical buildings will cover 16,000 sq. m., including 5,000 sq. m. of computer rooms.
The three highly secured data centers will host Orange business and residential customer data and services, as well as our own in-house information system.
For more than 10 months a year they operate without the use of air conditioning by using a free cooling system. The outside air and the design of the buildings provide natural cooling for IT equipment, thereby reducing their energy impact by 30% compared to older generation of Orange data centers.
The PPAs that Orange has entered into with Boralex, Engie and TotalEnergies cover the consumption of the three data centers with electricity from renewable sources.
With a Power Usage Effectiveness estimated at 1.3, these data centers rank among the most efficient in France.
