London data centre overview

Our premium London data centres are designed, built and operated by engineering experts to the highest industry standards to ensure your business critical systems are always available. Our London facilities provide flexible infrastructure as standard, with number of sites featuring high-density capabilities enabling us to support the power, cooling and management requirements of the latest high density blade servers. Don’t worry if your needs change. We'll change with you. Because our data centres are based on flexible modular infrastructure, they can easily scale and adapt to your exact requirements.

Power

You need to know your data centre will deliver uninterruptable power to your infrastructure. That's why we double up on everything - to ensure the highest levels of resiliency and redundancy to your critical infrastructure. Whatever your power requirements, we provide flexible, scalable power densities and configuration of up to 20kW per rack. By increasing the power density, you'll need fewer racks and cabling. So you’ll save money too.

Flexible power densities and configurations of between 2kW and 20kW per rack.

Fully redundant and resilient power supplies, at a minimum of N+1, ensure guaranteed uptime.

Maximum diversity and separation of UPS system and power distribution through dedicated A&B supplies.

Every site provides back-up diesel generation at N+1 to support site load in the event of a failure of grid-power.

UPS System

Cooling

Each of our London data centres features a robust heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system which delivers stable air flow, temperature and humidity for efficient equipment operation.

Minimum N+1 redundancy on chilled water-cooling system.

Fully concurrently maintainable, dual-path secondary chilled water distribution.

Close Control Units (CCUs) provide conditioned air to the data floors at a minimum N+2 redundancy.

Our newest London data centres feature free cooling for enhanced efficiency and improved PUE.
