Data Centres - UKS North
500 4kW racks in 930m2 space available from June
If you would like to speak to us about this new Tier-4 datacentre space, please contact us via our on-line enquiry form or call us on 0845 004 1333. A detailed specification is published below.The facility has been designed and built to offer high specification hosting using the very latest energy saving technologies and equipment. Where possible it uses fresh air, rather than refrigeration, to extract the heat from the cooling circuits which run through the data floors. The lack of windows to suites reduces solar gain, and increases security.
You can see the progress of the build which commenced 22nd October 2007 and is due to complete it's final tests in June 2008.
