What is Policloud?
Policloud is a network of modular micro-data centers designed for low environmental impact.
Each unit delivers high-performance computing and secure data storage in a compact, water-free container that can be deployed anywhere, in less than 4 months.
Small footprint
No construction permits. No lengthy public consultations.
Policloud units require between 50 m² and 100 m² depending on their size and can be installed on existing municipal, industrial, or agricultural sites.
Fast time to market
Deployment is simple: delivery, installation, power and fiber connection, then operational.
A Policloud unit becomes operational within four months of order under standard conditions.
Resilient by design
Policloud units can operate independently or interconnect through Poligrid, Policloud’s sovereign network.
This allows workloads to be balanced across units and improves resilience and performance at the edge.
Frugal by design
Policloud units use no water for cooling and are designed for optimized energy consumption across configurations ranging from 70 kW to 500 kW, powering from 104 to 400 GPUs per container.
The infrastructure is designed for high compute density with controlled resource use.
Public institutions
Policloud enables public institutions to keep sensitive workloads and data under local control. AI fine-tuning, inference, archives, and critical systems run on infrastructure that remains physically and legally sovereign.
Data sovereignty is a strategic priority for us. By partnering with Policloud, the City of Cannes and the Cannes Lérins Agglomeration securely host and control their data in a sovereign, high-performance, and environmentally responsible cloud—marking a decisive step in protecting public and local economic data.

Policloud, cloud.cotedor.fr, the departmental data center, Cyberdome, and the digital umbrella: these projects are a territorial response to a global challenge. Behind these technical terms lies a deep conviction: innovation, a true driver of transformation, only makes sense if it strengthens trust, public service efficiency, security, and proximity.

Energy producers
Energy producers host Policloud units on their sites to convert locally produced electricity into computing capacity. Unused compute resources can be shared through PoliGrid to recover part of the investment.
Policloud has transformed how we monetize our power capacity. We have moved from converting electricity into Bitcoin to converting it into premium GPU compute hours, significantly increasing value creation.
The renewable energy market in France and Europe has become more challenging and we now need new ways to maximize the value of our electricity production. PoliCloud enabled us to convert our KWh into GPU and CPU hours, creating a new high value revenue stream tied to growing demand for AI infrastructure.
Corporate
Corporations deploy Policloud to run high-performance AI inference and fine-tuning workloads closer to their data, without relying on distant hyperscale data centers.
Agriculture
Policloud units allow farmers to reuse generated heat to support agricultural production while creating a new source of revenue from compute workloads.
Policloud is a compelling example of how agriculture and responsible digital infrastructure can reinforce each other. The solution allows us to deliver high-performance AI infrastructure locally while recovering data center heat to warm our tomato greenhouses, creating a truly virtuous, circular model for the territory.

Why Policloud stands out
Mega data centers demand large tracts of land, massive energy capacity, redundant power grids, large quantities of water, complex permitting processes, and long construction timelines.
Policloud offers a simpler path: high performance with a small footprint and full sovereignty.
Policloud meets the growing need for secure, high-performance computing for complex AI fine-tuning and inference workloads while reducing environmental impact and ensuring sovereignty.

low energy per unit, no water cooling
Resilient:
decentralized and distributed by design
Sovereign:
run workloads and store data at the edge
Time to market:
short build and deployment timelines
Cost-efficient:
affordable to acquire and to operate
High performance:
custom-built, optimized servers
How Policloud works
Each Policloud unit is a hardened container that hosts state of the art, high performance compute, storage, and networking hardware.
It can run independently on its own, or form a private network with multiple units or join Poligrid, Policloud’s sovereign distributed network.
Models come with standard equipment and each unit can be customized.
Pricing ranges from €1M to €4M, depending on configuration, with an annual service fee of 10%. Policlouds have a life span of 20+ years.
A Policloud owner can generate revenue from unused resources, helping to offset acquisition and operating costs and achieve a return on investment within five years.

Poligrid:
Policloud’s distributed and sovereign network
Policloud units can interconnect to form a resilient virtual global data center using Hivenet’s distributed operating platform.
Organizations keep full ownership of their data. They can choose to join Poligrid or form a proprietary private network. This improves performance, resilience, availability, and cost efficiency without vendor lock-in.
Policloud mission
Provide responsible, high-performance computing infrastructure to foster humanity’s journey into the digital era.
We believe in frugality, decentralization, sovereignty, and relentless innovation.
We envision a world where cities, businesses, and innovators power their digital ecosystems responsibly, sustainably, and on their own terms.
