The Harlow Data Center occupies a site of immense historical significance in the world of telecommunications. It was here in 1966 that Sir Charles Kao made his pioneering discovery of fiber optic cable, a breakthrough that laid the foundation for the modern internet. Today, that legacy of connectivity continues as the site transforms into the UK’s largest data center campus currently under development, specifically designed to handle the nation’s most demanding computational workloads.
Spanning 15 acres and representing an investment of over £230 million, the Data center is strategically positioned in the innovation corridor between London and Cambridge. This prime location allows it to serve two of the UK’s most significant tech hubs simultaneously. The massive development currently comprises four state of the art, carrier neutral data centers designed to provide maximum flexibility for its tenants.
In its current phase of development, the campus is set to support an ITE load of 40MW across 150,000 square feet of technical space. However, the site is built with future scalability in mind. The campus is prepared to expand well beyond its initial footprint, with the long term infrastructure capability to accommodate an impressive total IT load of 83MW, ensuring it can grow alongside the needs of its clients.
Sustainability is at the core of the campus operations. The entire facility is powered by 100% renewable energy, achieving a highly efficient Power Usage Effectiveness value of 1.2. This commitment to green energy is further validated by its BREEAM “Excellent” certification, ensuring that the high density computing performed on site maintains a minimal environmental footprint.
The campus offers a diverse range of hardware housing options to suit various business scales, including full cabinets, partial cabinets, shared rackspace, cages, and custom suites. The purpose built construction features expandable whitespace and dedicated Meet Me Rooms. For operational support, the site provides Remote Hands services, allowing clients to manage their hardware through expert onsite technicians.
Safety and data integrity are managed through rigorous onsite protocols and international standards. The facility is ISO27001 certified and protected by 24/7 onsite security staff to ensure constant monitoring. By combining physical security with purpose built infrastructure, the campus provides a resilient environment for mission critical data and high performance hardware.
