Exaion, an EDF Group subsidiary specializing in the development and operation of eco-responsible digital services platforms 1 , announces the opening of its data center in Sherbrooke, Canada. Located at the heart of the Humano District project 2, to which it will provide heating and domestic hot water, this data center, named Bellevue, is a world first: an eco-responsible and decentralized infrastructure specifically designed for quantum hybridization 3<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bellevue stands out for its choice of over 99% renewable energy supply 4, the integration of innovative cooling technologies combining air and immersion methods, and the valorization of waste heat. These methods allow for the recovery of 100% of the heat emitted by the servers to provide heating and hot water to the entire real estate complex.
\nThe Bellevue data center houses cutting-edge equipment, including PINQ\u00b2’s high-performance computing infrastructure dedicated to collaboration between academia and industry as well as companies’ digital innovation projects, the first quantum computer installed by Quandela in North America, and Numana’s first quantum key distribution test bench for cryptography development in Canada. These facilities make Bellevue a pioneering infrastructure in North America, fully aligned with the activities of DistriQ, Sherbrooke’s Quantum Innovation Zone.
\nBellevue also serves as a model for data security and benefits from multiple levels of protection. A perimeter defense system including anti-intrusion security solutions, video surveillance, and reinforced authentication has been established to combat unauthorized access.
\nThis installation highlights Exaion’s expertise in data center design, construction, and operation, its commitment to developing innovative and environmentally friendly solutions, and its ability to meet the most demanding needs of local businesses in blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, digital twins, quantum, and digital simulation.
\nFatih Balyeli, CEO and co-founder of Exaion, stated: \u00abWe are very proud to inaugurate this data center in Sherbrooke, a project that marks a turning point in the industry thanks to its eco-responsible and decentralized approach. This project perfectly embodies Exaion’s vision: to combine technological innovation and environmental compliance to meet the digital challenges of tomorrow. With Bellevue, we demonstrate our ability to go beyond current standards, offering cutting-edge solutions for the most advanced use cases.\u00bb
\nMatthieu Cardinal, Vice President of Development at Services Immobiliers First and promoter of the Humano District real estate project, stated: \u00abIt is with great pride and a sense of accomplishment that Humano District welcomes Exaion’s Bellevue computing center, realized in close collaboration with its partners Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke, DistriQ Innovation Zone, and \u00c9nerg\u00e8re, in an emblematic building of Sherbrooke, La Maison G\u00e9n\u00e9rale des Petites S\u0153urs de la Sainte-Famille. This innovative computing center, located in the heart of Sherbrooke’s innovation zone Quantum sector, will be the preferred eco-responsible heat source for heating Humano District.\u00bb
\n\u00c9ric Capelle, CEO of PINQ\u00b2, stated: \u00abWe are proud of our partnership with Exaion, a leader in hybrid quantum solutions. This partnership will allow us to further support Quebec companies in their innovation and digital transformation projects. Our collaboration materializes through a data center powered by renewable energies, decentralized and specially designed for quantum hybridization. It highlights Quebec’s expertise and appeal in this cutting-edge field. Moreover, our shared eco-responsible values positively enrich our collaboration.\u00bb
\nNiccolo Somaschi, co-founder & CEO of Quandela, stated: \u00abThrough this French-Canadian partnership, we are pleased to deploy the first European quantum computer within the Bellevue data center in Sherbrooke. We are fully committed to creating this ecosystem of partners to support industries and organizations in their quantum transformation.\u00bb
\nYves A. Sicard, Vice President of Innovation Zones and Networks at Investissement Qu\u00e9bec, stated: \u00abWe are pleased that Exaion, a global leader in eco-responsible data center management, is establishing itself in our DistriQ quantum innovation zone to demonstrate that the adoption of disruptive technologies can be combined with eco-responsible practices to support the growth of an innovative, inclusive, open, and sustainable economy.\u00bb
\nProfessor Pierre Cossette, Rector of Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke, stated: \u00abExaion’s arrival in our innovation ecosystem is excellent news for Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke. The DistriQ innovation zone, in collaboration with PINQ\u00b2, thus benefits from new eco-responsible infrastructures and expertise in high-performance and quantum hybrid computing, while generating new real-world learning opportunities at all study levels. UdeS’s leadership in sustainable development will be leveraged in collaboration with Exaion to study the integration of server energy recovery systems in computing centers, which represents a significant challenge for our society.\u00bb<\/p>\n

1 In France, Exaion’s activities emitted 38 grams of CO2 per kWh in 2023, which is about 10 to 20 times less than the average of North American and Asian suppliers. <\/span>
\n2 Humano District is a rental condo project in Sherbrooke that combines sustainability and modernity, located near the Mont-Bellevue Park. For more information: www.humanodistrict.ca\/en\/<\/span>
\n3 Quantum computing utilizes the principles of quantum mechanics to perform calculations much more rapidly than classical computers. <\/span>
\n4 In Quebec, close to 100% of the electricity Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec distributes to its customers is generated from renewable resources, which means there are few or no greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.<\/span><\/p>\n
