Castle IT welcomes ielo to his datacenter in the Loire Valley

ielo, the fibre infrastructure operator serving the wholesale business market, has been deploying and operating its metropolitan network across Tours and the surrounding area for several years. By connecting the Castle IT data centre, ielo continues its expansion strategy, reinforcing its commitment to supporting local digital ecosystems in France's major metropolitan regions.

Already well established in the Centre-Val de Loire region, ielo has connected the Castle IT data centre through its local fibre infrastructure with the objective of extending coverage across the entire region and delivering high-performance connectivity to businesses and public sector organisations.

This development further strengthens ielo’s position as an alternative infrastructure operator in the region.

Through partnerships built on long-term collaboration and a shared commitment to addressing local connectivity needs, ielo continues to expand its presence across France and reinforce the reach of its national network.

"Castle IT's identity is deeply connected to the Centre-Val de Loire region. ielo is delighted to further strengthen its local presence through this next-generation data centre. At ielo, our goal is to support and accelerate the development of digital infrastructure across France. Our collaboration with Castle IT's highly skilled teams is fully aligned with that ambition."
Nicolas Marchal Key Account and Public Sector Manager, ielo
"We are delighted to welcome a leading operator such as ielo. This partnership enhances the interconnection capacity of our regional PoP and strengthens the range of services we can offer to local organisations."
Yoann Thomas Technical Director and Co-Founder, Castle IT
