Creation
Scaleway Labs is a division at Scaleway
Our goals
Our goal is to create computer technology-related prototypes and share technology-centric knowledge. We work on experimental business-related topics that are not customer-driven, and outcomes are not guaranteed, as is the nature of R&D.

Spreading technology-centric knowledge
An open RISC architecture
RISC-V, an open instruction set architecture, allows anyone to design, implement and distribute RISC-V processors without the restrictions associated with proprietary architectures.
This freedom encourages innovation, fosters competition and facilitates the emergence of "sovereign" processors.
Compact and economical
EM-RV1 servers are extremely energy-efficient, consuming between 0.96W and 1.9W per 1.8GHz core.
Incredibly dense, a 52U rack holds up to 672 EM-RV1s!
They contribute to responsible management of the environmental footprint of cloud solutions.
Designed and assembled in Paris
Designed and assembled in our R&D laboratory in Paris, the EM-RV1 is the fruit of months of research to launch a range of RISC-V servers in the cloud.
Hand-crafted design (laser-cut chassis, 3D-printed blades, hand-soldered components) has allowed us to bring you these world-exclusive servers.
Quantum as a Service
Run your Quantum algorithms on powerful and elastic hardware
The Quantum Leap
Quantum computing is poised to revolutionize the next decade of technology.
Traditional computers face limitations in tackling complex problems, prompting a shift toward quantum mechanics principles.
Scaleway's Quantum as a Service (QaaS) emerges as a trailblazing solution, democratizing access to quantum computing's unparalleled power and potential.

IPFS Naming
The first worldwide IPNS service
IPNS
The Interplanetary Name System (IPNS) is a fundamental element of the Interplanetary File System (IPFS), designed to solve the problem of managing and dynamically updating immutable IPFS addresses.
IPFS enables content to be stored and retrieved on the basis of its cryptographic fingerprints, IPNS goes a step further by introducing a mutable naming based on asymmetric cryptography.
IPNS records are no longer stored on a single server; instead, they reside within a distributed network of nodes that collectively manage and respond to naming resolution. This approach significantly enhances reliability and makes it considerably more challenging to censor.
Available Now!
Scaleway Labs is proud to introduce the world's first IPFS Naming Service, which tackles a fundamental challenge in the era of a post-DNS Internet.
This service is available now, at a competitive price, and benefits from the redundancy and stability of Scaleway infrastructures in its three European regions.
Nodeless
When combined with our IPFS Pinning service, our IPFS Naming service allows you to host your content on the IPFS network by delegating the technical details to us.
This means you can host your website on IPFS without the added expenses of operating a dedicated IPFS node.
Additionally, you have the flexibility to manage everything through an API, making it seamlessly integrated with the familiar Scaleway Developer Experience.

IPFS Pinning
A multi-region, multi-az redundant IPFS pinning service.
Welcome to the next evolution of file storage.
Global Peer-to-Peer Network
The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a file sharing peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data in a single global network. IPFS uses content-addressing to uniquely identify each file and a DHT to locate the content you are looking for.

AMP2 instances
Powerful 64-bit ARM virtual machines, based on Ampere's latest processor designed for the cloud: the Altra Max.
In addition to its performance predictability, this new ARM8.2 processor is a market leader in terms of energy efficiency.
A new hope
Powerful 64-bit ARM virtual machines, based on Ampere's latest processor designed for the cloud: the Altra Max.
In addition to its performance predictability, this new ARM8.2 processor is a market leader in terms of energy efficiency.
Energetic efficiency
The processor upon which AMP2 Instances are built has a maximum thermal envelope of 250W. This allows the processor to run its 128 cores under full load, without losing frequency.
To further improve energy efficiency, these Instances use processor time densification technology, allowing even better sharing of available physical resources.
Direct from the Labs
AMP2 Instances are the result of a collaboration between Ampere Computing and Scaleway Labs, representing the return of ARM technologies to Scaleway’s cloud ecosystem.
Please note that these Instances are currently in a trial phase. It is not recommended to use them to host critical services.
