About this European Data Centre


This data centre was built using our 5th generation POD Architecture® Design and Engineering Guidelines. It operates as a “building within a building” and features a dedicated power and mechanical backplane. This Turn-Key Datacentre is delivered in move in ready condition to the customer in a secure facility. Its power, cooling and redundancy is optimised for efficiency.

As with all our Turn-Key Datacentres, power is metered so that you only pay for the power you use. But our metering and reporting software, PowerVU goes a step further allowing you to maximise your energy efficiency and control your power costs. PowerVU allows you to track and display your energy usage by each metered component to view and track your actual power use in kW/hr, energy demand.
