Hexatom

What Hexatom does

Hexatom is a privately held French Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider, organized as a SARL (Société à Responsabilité Limitée) and registered in Meaux, France. Founded circa 2010–2012 and effectively owner-managed under représentant Grégory Tourneux, the company delivers a broad portfolio of managed infrastructure services targeting French small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) — web hosting, public cloud virtual machines, private cloud clusters, dedicated servers, GPU servers, housing/colocation, domain registration, and infogérance managed services.

The technical stack is built around owned multi-datacenter infrastructure rather than leased wholesale capacity. Flagship operations center on a 4,000 m², 6 MW facility in Croissy-Beaubourg (operational since September 2023), supplemented by a 500 m² high-density site in Sophia Antipolis (opened January 2018) and a presence at Telehouse2 Paris, all interconnected via a 180 Gbps optical fiber ring. Underlying compute platforms span VMware and KVM Proxmox hypervisors, HP BL460c blade servers with Intel E5-2680 v4 CPUs, NVIDIA GTX 1080 and AMD RADEON RX 580 GPUs, and security layers including Arbor anti-DDoS and Radware WAF; the Croissy-Beaubourg site supports immersion and direct liquid cooling for high-density AI and HPC workloads.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid commercial model: standardized tiers are sold via self-service online ordering in euro ex-VAT subscriptions from €2.49/month (entry-level hosting) up to €890/month (four-GPU servers), while custom private cloud, high-availability configurations, private cages, bare metal on-demand, and rendering services are quoted by a dedicated commercial team. All offers are without long-term commitment, billed monthly, and backed by a stated 99.99% service availability SLA with 24/7/365 phone and email technical support.

Direct peers

• OVHcloud: Largest French/European cloud and bare-metal hosting provider. Directly comparable product portfolio (dedicated servers, public cloud, private cloud, hosting, colocation) and target overlap on French SMEs and European sovereignty buyers, but at materially larger scale.
• Cloud Temple: French sovereign and secure cloud provider (security-cleared, SecNumCloud) competing for French regulated workloads. Overlaps with Hexatom on the 'French-only, sovereign' angle but targets larger enterprise and public-sector clients.
• Online.net (Scaleway): French dedicated server and hosting brand (now part of Scaleway). Closely comparable on dedicated server SKUs, pricing architecture, and French SME customer base, but without equivalent private cloud or HPC differentiation.
• Gandi: French independent provider of domain names, web hosting, and cloud. Overlaps with Hexatom on shared hosting and domain registration tiers for French SMEs and small developers.
• Scaleway: French cloud provider (Iliad-owned) offering public cloud, dedicated servers, bare metal, and GPU instances. Closely comparable to Hexatom on product mix and French SME/government positioning, with a more modern GPU stack and broader footprint.
• Outscale: French sovereign cloud provider (Dassault Systèmes) with SecNumCloud qualification, competing for the same French data-residency-sensitive workloads that Hexatom targets, but with stronger enterprise/government positioning.
• Ikoula: French managed hosting and cloud provider with similar SME focus, owned infrastructure, and product breadth (dedicated, public/private cloud, hosting, managed services). Most directly comparable in scale and go-to-market.

Broad incumbents

• Claranet: European managed hosting and cloud services provider with French presence. Comparable on managed services (infogérance) and cloud migration offerings, but operates at significantly larger scale across multiple countries.

Regional players

• Infomaniak: Swiss independent cloud and hosting provider with a strong sovereign/eco-friendly positioning. Comparable in being an independent European provider of hosting, cloud, and domains, but serves a different geography (Switzerland and French-speaking Europe more broadly).
• Hetzner: German hosting provider with dedicated servers, cloud, and colocation. Comparable on price-disciplined dedicated server offerings and owned datacenter strategy, but based in Germany with different geographic focus.
