Mike Tobin, CEO of TelecityRedbus, comments; “The rapid growth of web-based multimedia services and applications over the last few years, and the associated rise in demand from power and cooling capabilities required to support such applications, has vastly increased demand on data centre facilities, and this trend is set to continue. Today’s announcement demonstrates our commitment to delivering not just additional data centre capacity, but the highest quality facilities and support to ensure that whatever our customers’ IT infrastructure requirements, we have the service to match.”
