nLighten Expands French Data Center Footprint Through Paris Site Acquisition

Paris, 2nd of February 2026 – nLighten, a digital infrastructure platform developing operating innovative edge data centers across Europe, announces the acquisition of a data center in Émerainville, Paris from oXya, a leader in managed services and cloud solutions for business-critical applications including SAP. This strategic move reinforces nLighten’s position in one of Europe’s most important digital hubs and expands its portfolio of sustainable, regional infrastructure solutions.

The Émerainville facility becomes nLighten’s eight site in France and adds to nLighten portfolio of over 30 data centers in seven markets. Strategically located in Paris’s eastern data center cluster, approximately one kilometer from nLighten’s existing PAR1 facility, the site will continue serving anchor customer oXya under a long-term master services agreement, while additional capacity will be made available to enterprise customers via channel partners, aligned with nLighten’s core retail strategy.

The facility is designed to support high-density and AI-ready configurations, providing scalable infrastructure that can evolve with customer requirements. nLighten’s approach emphasizes delivering sustainable, interconnected infrastructure tailored to enterprise needs, with seamless connectivity between its sites.

Harro Beusker, CEO and Co-Founder of nLighten, said: “The acquisition of this Paris data center represents a significant expansion of our French footprint and strengthens our position in one of Europe’s most dynamic digital infrastructure markets. Paris is a critical hub for regional connectivity, and this facility enables us to deliver enhanced capacity and resilience to our enterprise customers. The proximity to our existing Paris sites creates operational synergies while also allowing us to support dual-site deployments. This acquisition exemplifies our strategy of building smart, sustainable infrastructure that scales with customer needs and contributes to the digital transformation of European businesses.”

Anwar Saliba, Managing Director nLighten France, said: “This acquisition fully aligns with our ambition to build a distributed, locally operated digital infrastructure across France. By adding capacity in the Paris region through three interconnected sites, we provide our customers with the conditions needed to deploy more resilient architectures, better secure their data, and meet growing requirements in terms of performance, service continuity, and digital sovereignty. Proximity is therefore becoming a concrete driver of sustainable digital transformation in France.”

Christophe Bronner, Group Chief Financial Officer of oXya, comments: “We are pleased to see this data center continue its evolution thanks to the partnership with nLighten. This transition allows oXya to focus on its core business of delivering managed cloud services and consulting to our customers, while ensuring continuity and enhanced capabilities for our infrastructure needs. We believe nLighten’s expertise and commitment to sustainable operations will benefit both our organization and the broader customer community.”
