Blue, a sovereign cloud operator, will inaugurate its second data center in Nantes, covering approximately 2000 m², in October. The British fund L&G's Legal & General Digital Infrastructure Fund (LDIF) has replaced Quilvest as a major shareholder, while Bpifrance is reinvesting significantly.
Blue plans to expand its operations eastward towards Paris and is opening a new office in Île-de-France with around ten employees. The company aims to enhance its cloud offerings, especially around AI, although no specific acquisition opportunities have been identified yet. Investments will also focus on containerization alongside existing virtualization services, enhancing partnerships with VMware and diversifying its platforms.
