Pulsant Creates New Data Centre Campus in South London
READING, England, October 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Phase one of secure, Tier 3, enterprise class facility now open for colocation clients
Cloud, hosting and colocation experts, Pulsant has completed the first phase of a
GBP14 million, three year investment programme to create a new South London Data Centre
Campus at its existing site in Croydon. Once complete, the facility will offer over
8,400msquared of data centre space increasing the group total to over 34,000msquared,
making Pulsant one of the largest private data centre operators in the UK.
Only 10 miles from London's city centre, Pulsant's campus site offers secure,
resilient and competitively priced, high capacity data storage facilities and ultra-fast
connectivity. Providing low latency connections exactly where they are needed most - close
to the capital's financial and commercial heart. All infrastructure has been designed to
ensure there is no single point of failure and that customers' data is physically secure.
Ideal for businesses in London and its immediate surrounds, the site features advanced
cooling, power management and security systems. These include diverse power supplies, cold
aisle containment and server pods, to optimise server performance and control costs. By
2014, it will provide eight separate data halls, supporting a total of 1,680 racks at
between 2 and 10Kw per rack. As a dedicated campus site, it also offers on-site technical
teams, enterprise class processes and comfortable facilities for clients' IT staff,
including; parking, rest rooms, kitchen and facilities, dedicated offices and meeting
rooms.
Pulsant South London will make a considerable impact on IT provisioning for London
based companies and those looking for large scale facilities to support nationwide data
infrastructure. It is a unique opportunity for businesses seeking to expand their data
storage but currently restricted by space, power and cost. It is also ideal for those in
the process of upgrading their IT infrastructure and servers who want to optimise
performance within a state of the art data centre environment.
Mark Howling, CEO at Pulsant, comments, "The scale of our facility allows customers to
consume capacity to suit their requirements. Options range from single racks and cages to
fully customised private data suites and even dedicated data halls. This flexibility is
achieved with our funding structure and modular build process, which creates capacity
options that transcend the traditional divide of retail and wholesale providers. Customers
can consume on either a usage or fixed cost basis and for larger kilowatt (Kw) power
requirements, which is traditionally associated with larger wholesale transactions. The
key difference being that we offer extremely flexible terms whilst still maintaining a
highly competitive price."
He adds, "Only 10 miles from London's city centre and 7 minutes from the M25, our new
facility will help London based businesses keep their data close in a discreet location;
giving them room to grow while achieving significant site-specific cost savings without
compromising accessibility."
Pulsant South London operates to strict ISO standards to maintain guaranteed levels of
data security at all times. For those customers who operate payment processing, the data
centre can support PCI DSS 2.0 compliant platforms. The entire site is contained within a
highly secure, dual fenced perimeter. HD CCTV ensures access and movement is constantly
monitored and manned security services operate 24/7.
Already servicing Pulsant's existing London-based clients, Phase 1 of the facility is
now available for occupation by colocation customers. Pulsant has a 25 year lease
agreement, full planning consent and capital investment for all four phases of the
development project which completes in 2015.
For companies with multiple site requirements, Pulsant also provides additional
capacity at seven other strategic data centre locations throughout the UK. It also offers
high capacity resilient interconnectivity, managed and hosted services, public and private
cloud computing, application services, and full IT outsourcing.
