Data centres have evolved into essential digital fortresses for organizations that find traditional in-house ICT management increasingly burdensome. By moving away from on-premise infrastructure, businesses can leverage a model that guarantees a safe, secure environment with uninterrupted access. This transition is particularly vital for entities ranging from SMEs and large corporations to mission-critical operations like emergency services and airline logistics, all of whom require highly available environments that can scale seamlessly alongside fluctuating business needs.
Comprehensive Service Architecture
The facility offers an extensive range of flexible service models designed to minimize risk and capital expenditure. Clients can choose from basic server or rack hosting to more integrated solutions such as Infrastructure as a Service IaaS, Platform as a Service PaaS, and Software as a Service SaaS. Furthermore, the centre specializes in resilience through Disaster Recovery as a Service DRaaS and Unified Communications as a Service UCaaS, ensuring that every solution is optimized to reduce backup times while simultaneously boosting security and system recovery speeds.
Physical Infrastructure and Capacity
Constructed as a purpose-built, sole-tenant facility in 2015, the site boasts a total building size of 33,000 sq. ft., with 15,000 sq. ft. of dedicated whitespace that remains expandable to meet future demand. The facility is engineered for high-density performance, supporting a maximum power of 8 kW per rack across a fully built-out 2 MW power capacity. Clients have a variety of spatial options to suit their specific requirements, including full or partial cabinets, shared rackspace, secure cages, and private suites.
Tier Certification and Efficiency
Reliability is anchored by a Tier 3 Design and Certification, ensuring high levels of redundancy and uptime. Despite its powerful output, the facility maintains a highly efficient Power Usage Effectiveness PUE of 1.2, reflecting a commitment to sustainable energy management. To facilitate seamless connectivity, the centre features a dedicated Meet-Me-Room MMR and supports two peering networks, allowing for robust and high-speed data exchange across the digital landscape.
