BIS Ltd Opens Third Data Hall in London Data Centre

LONDON, November 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    Building on the phenomenal success of its Greenwich data centre, the IT infrastructure
service company BIS has announced the launch of its latest server hall at the South East
London facility. The self-contained 350 sqm unit offers space for 130 high density
equipment cabinets and total capacity for 450Kw of cooling.

    "The new server hall is a true N+1 configuration with its own standalone M&E
installation, built to the highest standards complying with the latest green data centre
initiatives. We pride ourselves on offering the highest specification data centre
facilities commercially available in London and, with our flexible customer centric
service wrapper, we can offer enterprise and corporate customers a compelling service
proposition" said Brian Packer, BIS Chief Operating Officer.

    "The site has proven very popular with our City-based enterprise clients so we felt
the time was right to invest in the expansion of the facility" elaborated Mr Packer. The
new space increases total capacity at the site by 33%. BIS has worked hard to maintain the
current high standard of specification for the new infrastructure by deploying new
substation mains connectivity, four new 550KVA generators and two redundant 750KVA UPS
units. The site has excellent public transport links, plenty of parking spaces and is
manned 24/7. The use of biometric access control expedites many of the day to day
operational activities including IT personnel access and equipment deliveries. Low cost,
diverse gigabit connectivity back to the City of London is available over the BIS Cisco
Powered MPLS core network and dedicated leased line services can also be purchased from
BT, Virgin, COLT and Geo, all of whom currently operate from the site.
