Scaleway

Scaleway is a European cloud computing provider and subsidiary of the Iliad Group, headquartered in Paris with data centers across France, the Netherlands, Poland, and global expansion underway. Since its renaming from Online in 2015, the company has grown to offer a robust suite of cloud infrastructure services, including bare-metal servers, virtual instances, managed storage, Kubernetes containers, serverless functions, databases, and networking tools.

The company distinguishes itself through innovation and sovereign cloud capabilities. In 2021, Scaleway became the first in Europe to offer Apple M1 bare-metal servers. It later introduced a multi-availability-zone resilience model, Elastic Metal dedicated servers, and in 2023 the “Nabuchodonosor” AI supercomputer powered by NVIDIA DGX H100. In early 2024, it launched Europe’s first cloud-based RISC-V servers, reinforcing its commitment to open architectures and technological independence. It also integrated NVIDIA's latest GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip to support advanced AI and HPC workloads.

Scaleway places a strong emphasis on sustainability and local sovereignty. Its data centers operate with certified efficiency, and the company has attained health data hosting and national cloud security certifications. Developer-focused initiatives—like its Generative APIs platform and active startup programs—position Scaleway as a champion of Europe's independent, AI-ready cloud landscape. The platform supports over 25,000 businesses and caters to developers, startups, and public institutions seeking resilient, compliant, and green cloud infrastructure.
