The entire Colt modular data centre, including all power and cooling elements, will be constructed and tested in the UK, using modern component based production line techniques before being transported to the site. This unique approach provides Colt the flexibility to expand the data centre in increments. Colt has secured a 32MVA power connection to ensure scalability of the energy supply as the data centre grows in size and requirements. When complete, the site will offer secure, flexible, scalable and carrier neutral data centre facilities to customers.
“Organisations embracing a modular approach to building and expanding their data centres will see cost savings in terms of scalability, energy efficiency and time to market,” commented Jason Schafer, Research Manager, Tier1 Research. “The latest modular designs also allow organisations to benefit from what traditional data centres have to offer while avoiding some of the pitfalls usually associated with new builds.”
Colt has been an established player in the provision of high-specification data centre facilities for more than 15 years, currently operating 19 data centres and managing over 28,000m2 of data centre space across Europe.
