More Midlands space saves CO₂ from London Datacentres

4th April 2008

UKSolutions, a Midlands based company with 10 years IT infrastructure
hosting experience, today announced a state of the art new Datacentre
facility opening soon on their existing campus. “UKS North”
building designed from the ground up to offer the highest levels of
cutting-edge co-location services, with a focus on limiting environmental
impact.

The new Tier 4 based facility is the highest specified, purpose built Datacentre outside
London designed with 100% A/B (N+N) power and cooling power systems. Split into three
suites it offers a combination of shared and dedicated areas. Single person man-traps, 24x7
security and an exclusive 1.8 acre site contribute towards a strong security ethos. It will be
fully operational by June 23rd, 2008.

Cooling systems are the single largest power user in a datacentre. UKS North utilises “free
air cooling” and compared with a traditional datacentre. From on-site cardboard recycling to
efficient lighting, the environment has been considered to ensure UKS and it's customers can fulfil
their own corporate responsibility objectives.

The UKS site is supplied with a diverse, multi carrier communications infrastructure from a number
of national telcos and UKS' own network for expert delivery of IP transit, MPLS, IP-VPNs and the
popular LINX From Anywhere services.

Daniel Lowe, Operations Director commented;
“ The continuing squeeze on Datacentre space in the UK has created the perfect
environment for UKS to continue to grow its successful hosting services. Having built a reputation
for excellent reliability married with a price sensitive view over the last 10 years, we are
already seeing huge demand for space in our new building. The rising cost of services in London
means that more and more people are looking outside the capital to host their mission critical IT
systems. UKS can provide seamless connectivity back to the main UKdatacentres through its MPLS
services. UKS has proven that it can provide the right levels of service without incurring undue
network delay, dispelling myths that the Midlands is “too far”

We already have a strong core of customers in finance, public sector and the media, as well as a
variety of IT/communications services providers. With our strong financial history we have been
able to plan and deliver this expansion without external investment, our new customers can count on
UKS as a secure partner in the future. ”
