Asset management group Tikehau Capital has invested an additional €50 million in high-performance computing (HPC) and Al hosting services company Eclairion, bringing its investment to €160 million.
French company ECLAIRION offers modular infrastructure consisting of container modules, providing agility, speed, and precision. This infrastructure can host high-density solutions from 30 kW to 200 kW per bay, and beyond if needed. Clients can choose configurations based on their needs for intensive computing.
Eclairion is now hosting the deployment of the first Al cluster from French unicorn Mistral Al in partnership with GPU cloud computing provider Fluidstack.
This facility, one of the largest dedicated HPC sites in Europe, boasts an initial power allocation of 60 MW.
Tikehau Capital first committed €110 million in November 2023 to finance the development of Eclairion’s large-scale HPC data centre south of Paris.
According to Jean Odendall, Deputy Head of Tactical Strategies and Head of Middle East at Tikehau Capital:
“We look forward to continuing our partnership with Eclairion as this platform scales, driving further innovation in AI and high-performance computing, as well as broader economic growth across Europe.”
