Global Switch's Paris data center hosts a large Nvidia Blackwell GPU deployment; end customer unnamed.

Global Switch has been selected to host a large cluster of Nvidia Blackwell hardware at its Paris data center. The cluster will be mostly liquid-cooled and deployed within Global Switch's Nvidia DGX-ready facility. The company describes it as "one of the biggest Nvidia Blackwell deployments in Europe," though it has not specified the exact scale or disclosed the end user.

Nicolas Duhamel, president of Global Switch France, said: "AI and high-performance compute customers require significant power, advanced cooling optionality and dense, resilient connectivity. This deployment demonstrates the strength of Global Switch as a platform for the next generation of AI businesses, powering the digital economies of the future. It also underlines the role that established, highly connected data centers can play in accelerating AI innovation at scale and in supporting France's sovereign AI ambitions."

The Paris campus operates on 100 percent renewable energy and is set to participate in a heat-offtake agreement to provide waste heat to the cities of Levallois-Perret and Clichy, beginning in 2027. Google is a known customer of the facility. In 2023, a data center at the site experienced a fire caused by a cooling system water pump failure that leaked water into the battery room.
