The Facility has 2MVA of power, providing diversity to critical systems and the technical area throughout the Data Centre. An EN50600 and Tier III level power system, from our dedicated on-site substation to rack level distribution; the facility is energised by Schneider Electric, the industries global leaders. Dual independent switchgears, supported by dedicated APC Symmetra PX UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) and generator backup systems, allow this resilient system to provide true diverse power to all critical areas of the Data Centre.  

The Centre benefits from being part of Metro Networks which provides extensive coverage across the UK and connects the facility to other major national communication hubs. The Centre is a Cloud and Carrier Neutral Operator, with a multitude of Tier 1 carriers readily available and the ability to provision diverse, low-latency, resilient circuits and therefore, choices that will best suit your specific needs can be offered.
