As presented at past HEPiX, 8 labs in Orsay region/university started 2 years ago a project to build a new datacenter aimed to replace the existing inefficient computing rooms. This project has been delivered on-time and is in production since last October. This presentation will summarize the needs that motivated the project, the design choices, the building phase experience and gives an early feedback after 6 months of operations. It will also present the future directions for this project and the other related initiatives.
