Cyxtera operates a robust portfolio of five interconnected data center campuses strategically positioned across London Docklands, Slough, and Reading. These sites are linked by direct low latency fiber routes, ensuring seamless data transfer and high speed connectivity. By distributing facilities across these key regions, Cyxtera provides a resilient infrastructure designed to support the intensive IT requirements of the Greater London Area while offering clients sophisticated dual site solutions for disaster recovery and business continuity.
The portfolio encompasses nearly 16,000 square meters of raised floor space, supported by more than 30MW of utility power. Each location is tailored to specific industry needs. The London Docklands sites offer ultra low latency proximity for financial trading and legal services, while the Slough and Reading facilities cater to the booming Hi Tech sector along the M4 corridor. This geographical diversity allows businesses to colocate their infrastructure in environments optimized for their specific vertical markets.
The Reading data center is housed in a single story steel and brick building specifically chosen for its low risk profile. To ensure maximum uptime, the site is situated outside of known flight paths, flood zones, and away from Control of Major Accident Hazards COMAH sites. Located 22 miles from Heathrow and 37 miles from Central London, it balances accessibility with a safe distance profile, minimizing the impact of urban hazards or environmental threats.
The Reading facility boasts a total building size of 4,178 square meters, with 3,452 square meters dedicated to functional whitespace. It is engineered for a fully built out power capacity of 4.32 MW, maintaining a power density of 0.175 kW per square meter. The infrastructure is designed to Tier 3 standards, incorporating N plus 1 redundancy across UPS, cooling, and standby power systems to guarantee that mission critical operations remain online during equipment maintenance or failure.
Security at the Reading site is multilayered, featuring 24/7 onsite staff, mantrap entries, CCTV surveillance, and biometric access controls. The facility adheres to world class compliance frameworks, including ISO27001, SOC 1 and 2 Type II, and DSS PCI certifications. Fire safety is managed through an automatic pre action dry pipe sprinkler system, ensuring that hardware is protected from both fire and accidental water damage, meeting the strict auditing requirements of global enterprises.
Cyxtera offers a versatile range of hosting options, from shared rackspace and partial cabinets to private cages and custom suites. Clients benefit from a Meet Me Room with five peering networks and specialized services like Remote Hands for off site technical support. To facilitate onsite productivity, the center includes professional amenities such as conference rooms, office spaces, breakrooms, and guest WiFi, providing a comprehensive environment for both hardware and the teams that manage it.
