GSI Network

What GSI Network does

GSI Network SAS is a privately held French managed web infrastructure operator founded in 2016 and headquartered in Bordeaux. The company provides full administration of dedicated servers hosting isolated production, pre-production, and development environments for B2B clients, with a proprietary agent deployed on each supervised machine feeding real-time metrics into a multi-user client portal. Service pillars include managed dedicated hosting (Hébergement dédié infogéré), operational security with multi-source IP scoring and behavioral bot classification, e-commerce and CMS infrastructure management (PrestaShop, WordPress, WooCommerce, Laravel, Node.js), and sovereign private cloud collaboration via Nextcloud Pro — all delivered on infrastructure physically located in France.

The technology stack sits on OVH dedicated servers with Proxmox virtualization, Debian/Ubuntu LTS, Apache/Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MariaDB/MySQL, instrumented with Centreon monitoring, ModSecurity WAF, Fail2ban/CrowdSec, and AES-256 encryption. A distinguishing capability is the composite IP scoring system that cross-references multiple independent threat intelligence sources in real time to classify bot traffic, including AI training crawlers introduced since 2024, and surface blocking recommendations to clients. All assets are 100% hosted in France with a GDPR-tooled security framework.

Revenue is generated exclusively through recurring managed services contracts sold via direct enterprise sales engagement and a partner agency (B2B2) channel. Pricing is custom-quoted per environment following an assessment conversation — no online quoting or self-service sign-up. Served verticals include industry/manufacturing, pharma/healthcare, food/agriculture, tourism and public sector (collectivités), commerce/retail, and web partner agencies. The company holds no external investors, no parent entity, and discloses no revenue, headcount, or employee information.
