£44 million data centre opens | | 2008/07/01 | | The first data centre in Europe to be certified independently to the Uptime Institute's international Tier III standard has opened in the UK.
Fujitsu's new £44 million venture, situated within 35 miles of London, will serve both public and private organisations in the UK and Europe.
In an effort to reduce the environmental impact of the project, a warehouse was refurbished to accommodate the data centre, rather than building on green field sites.
Martin Provoost, Fujitsu Services head of data centres said that the data centre would be energy efficient.
He commented: "Attaining high resilience requires more redundant infrastructure, which in turn consumes more energy. However, through new proven technology, Fujitsu's London North data centre achieves both the optimum resilience level and a leading efficiency rating."
According to the company, the operation will save enough energy every year to power up to 6,000 homes.
