AS6738 DRI

DRI is DRI SAS, an independent French web-hosting and managed-IT company based in Nantes. It markets "sovereign" French hosting and outsourced IT operations, with an explicit eco-responsibility positioning.

What it's used for

• Shared, dedicated and managed hosting. Reverse DNS across the announced space is dense with ds-… names under dri-services.net and produhost.net — ds being dedicated servers — plus router and backbone-link names on the infrastructure addresses.
• The announced inventory is around a dozen /24s, mostly out of 46.18.192.0/21 and 185.86.178.0/23, registered with netname DRI-NET-MAN.

Notable

• This is a hosting network, not an access provider: no subscriber pools, no CGNAT labels, just server addressing across a handful of French data-centre sites.
• DRI runs transit from several French cities and peers at FranceIX, which is a fairly serious posture for a hosting company of its size and reflects the "keep the data in France" pitch it makes to customers.

Interesting

• The company holds ISO 14001 alongside ISO 27001 — an environmental certification is unusual to see foregrounded by a hosting provider, and it is the differentiator DRI leads with rather than raw capacity.
