Marseille servers in the datacenter

Marseille is one of the most strategically important hosting markets in Europe — but for a reason most buyers don't know. The city is a major submarine cable landing point, with direct fiber to North Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia (multiple cables landing including SEA-ME-WE, AAE-1, IMEWE, and others). Our Marseille deployment sits in 's Marseille campus (now part of Digital Realty), the dominant carrier-neutral facility in the city.

Marseille is the right answer when your audience extends to North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt), the Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon), or India. The submarine-cable advantage typically means Marseille beats Frankfurt or Amsterdam by 30-80 ms for those geographies. For purely European audiences, Marseille is also a strong choice for southern France, Corsica, Italy, and Spain.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Marseille deployments.

What datacenter is used in Marseille?+
Marseille servers are deployed in 's Marseille campus (now Digital Realty), the dominant carrier-neutral facility in the city and the colocation home for most of the submarine-cable landing infrastructure.
Why would I choose Marseille over Paris?+
Three reasons: (1) you serve North Africa or the Middle East and want direct submarine-cable paths; (2) you serve southern France, Corsica, or the Italian/Spanish Mediterranean coast where Marseille often wins by 5-15 ms; (3) you're building a multi-region setup and want a French location that isn't in the same blast radius as Paris.
Is Marseille a good choice for Indian audiences?+
It's the best European option. Marseille has direct fiber to Mumbai via SEA-ME-WE 5 and AAE-1, putting India at 115-130 ms RTT — roughly 30-40 ms better than Frankfurt or Amsterdam. For an India-primary deployment, Mumbai is still the right choice; for a single EU+India location, Marseille is the only sensible answer.
