Colt To Build 92k Sq Ft Data Centre COLT has won a data centre and managed services contract with “a major global business” which in a 10-year deal provides services at a new-build, 92,000 square foot (8,500m2) data centre. The facility will be situated outside the M25 but close enough to the City of London to meet requirements for minimal latency from financial sector customers. As a result of this contract COLT will extend its data centre footprint to 15 across the main business and financial centres of Europe, and open its third data centre in the UK. The new facility will enable COLT to expand its portfolio of managed services to major customers in the UK, offering secure, off-site application and hosting solutions. The new win represents sixty per cent of the initial build phase of 27,000 square feet (2,500m2). The data centre will start to provide capacity in late 2007. Further clients are currently seeking to secure capacity over the four-year build. As a purpose-built facility the data centre will meet the current and future security and availability requirements of finance sector organisations in particular, and takes full advantage of the 25MVA power supply from the National Grid.
