Europe's largest cloud services provider told clients including the French government, the Centre Pompidou and cryptocurrency exchange Deribit to activate their disaster recovery plans following the blaze in Strasbourg, eastern France.
The fire, which broke out shortly after midnight, destroyed one of four data centers and damaged another, the company said. The remaining two were shut down to contain the damage.
"We don't have access to the site. That is why SBG1, SBG3, SBG4 won't be restarted today," founder and chairman Octave Klaba said on Twitter, referring to units housing servers.
The company said it would keep clients updated on the causes and consequences of the blaze.
