Etix has opened its fourth Edge data center in Lille, France.

The company, formerly known as Etix Everywhere, announced that the facility was open for business at the Choose France summit, an event highlighting the successes of French held earlier this month.

According to DC Mag, which first reported the news, the new data center, Lille #4, will offer 2MW of capacity and is designed to accommodate AI workloads.

As well as opening the new data center, Etix is boosting capacity at an existing facility in France, adding 2MW to its Paris #3 site at Velizy, a suburb south west of the French capital.

The company currently operates 15 data centers in France, Belgium, and Thailand.

It formerly ran hyperscale facilities, but sold these to Vantage in 2020 and is now focused on the Edge market. ASX-listed Global Data Centre Group (GDCG) bought the remainder of Etix in 2020, before European private investment firm Eurazo invested $46.8m into the company last year, and French investment firm Infranity bought the remaining stake from GDCG earlier this year.

In October, the company secured €170 million ($199.5m) in financing to help fund an expansion to more European markets.
