The Atos Birmingham Data Centre, situated within the Birmingham Business Park, is a purpose-built, sole-tenant facility that has been operational since 1990. Spanning a total building size of 3729 sq.m., it is specifically designed to handle high-performance IT solutions. The facility provides a robust environment for enterprise-grade hardware, offering various housing options including full cabinets, partial cabinets, and shared rackspace to suit diverse client needs.
To support modern processing demands, the data center boasts a fully built-out power capacity of 2.5 MW. This energy is utilized across 3046 sq.m. of dedicated whitespace. In terms of efficiency, the facility operates with a Power Usage Effectiveness PUE of 1.58, reflecting Atos' commitment to balancing high-performance output with a focus on sustainability and environmental impact reduction.
Designed as a Tier 3 facility, the data center ensures high availability through significant infrastructure layers. It utilizes a 2N UPS redundancy configuration alongside 2N standby power redundancy, ensuring that operations remain uninterrupted even during equipment failure or maintenance. This architecture provides a reliable foundation for mission-critical data storage and continuous processing.
Security is managed through a multi-layered approach to protect sensitive digital assets. The site is monitored by 24/7 onsite security staff and comprehensive CCTV surveillance. Access is strictly regulated via card access control systems, ensuring that only authorized personnel can enter the premises. These physical barriers create a secure perimeter for the colocation and managed services housed within.
To mitigate risks associated with hardware heat and electrical faults, the facility is equipped with an automatic fire suppression system. Rather than using water, which could damage electronic equipment, the center employs Inergen and Argonite gas systems. These gases effectively extinguish fires by reducing oxygen levels while remaining safe for the specialized equipment located in the whitespace.
The Atos Birmingham Data Centre adheres to rigorous international standards, ensuring high levels of service quality and data protection. It is DSS PCI certified for secure financial transactions and holds ISO27001 Information Security, ISO9001 Quality Management, and ISO14001 Environmental Management certifications. These credentials, combined with diverse fiber connectivity, make it a premier choice for secure and sustainable IT operations.
