Scaleway Buys 1,000 H100s, Expands Cloud to 52 Countries
Scaleway, the cloud subsidiary of France's Iliad Group, expanded its Dedibox VPS offering from three cities to 52 countries and 65 cities globally. The company simultaneously announced a purchase of more than 1,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, running on Nvidia's Spectrum-X networking fabric, to be installed at Iliad's DC5 data center in Greater Paris. This follows a DGX SuperPod acquisition announced in September.
Data Center Dynamics reports that Scaleway has also launched GPU Cluster On Demand, letting customers reserve clusters ranging from a few to several thousand. A supply deal with H, the Paris AI startup led by former Google DeepMind executives and targeting foundational action and multi-agent models, gives Scaleway an early enterprise anchor for its expanded GPU fleet.
Scaleway serves more than 25,000 businesses across Europe. Watch whether the H company deal becomes a replicable model: a European cloud provider supplying compute to European AI labs, keeping both infrastructure and distribution on the same side of the Atlantic.
