  • All IT power metered and charged as consumed
  • 7 to make 6 block redundant topology to provide 9 MW per floor
  • 99% reliability with the ability for concurrent maintainability
  • IT power supplies are derived from primary and reserve feeds from each block to create an IT distribution topology between all 6 blocks with a reserve from the 7th
  • Block redundant UPS topology with 10-minute battery back-up as standard
  • Fully rated LV back-up redundant generators with 48-hour fuel autonomy, capable of continuous running
  • Re-fuelling contracts to ensure timely replacement

  • 3 metre high security perimeter fence with concrete base
  • Vehicle lock at the entrance to site with PAS 68 rated gates to protect from physical attack
  • Manned gatehouse at the entrance to site
  • Extensive external CCTV to cover external areas of the site including the perimeter fence
  • 24/7 year-round-on-site security located in a secure control room
  • Extensive CCTV and access control throughout the facility
  • Progressive layers of security to restrict access through the site
  • Mantraps with biometric readers into data halls if required

  • The building is certified BREEAM Very Good, guaranteeing it complies with multiple sustainable criteria, including:
    • Sustainable site and waste management – General Contractor demonstrates best practice and meets our KPI’s in all areas
    • Reduction of CO2 emissions through design – this brand-new high-performance building only utilizes best in class highly efficient technology and OFCI’s
    • Reduction in water use and reuse – the closed-loop chilled water system delivers industry-leading PUE alongside measured low water usage
    • Lower environmental impact of the building over its full life cycle – achieved through the use of ‘Green Guide’ high-performance materials
    • Limited impact on ecology – damage is limited during construction and habitats are enhance thereafter by investment in creating biodiverse landscapes with native pollinating planting schemes where possible
    • Reduced impact on climate change & local environment – using materials with low global warming potential (GWP) provision of electric vehicle charging, sourcing staff locally and supporting the local economy
    • Best practice design for health, wellbeing and occupancy ensuring thermal comfort, lighting and control, indoor air quality and acoustic performance, encouraging reduction in car travel through the provision of cyclist facilities

  • Carrier neutral access and diverse fibre connectivity to active A&B Meet Me Rooms from multiple telecommunications providers
  • Four diverse fibre routes onto site
