CyrusOne Opens London Facility To Enter European Market

Data center operator CyrusOne has entered the European market by opening their first ‎‎10,000 square foot co-location data center facility in London, UK. CyrusOne had nearly ‎doubled the Company’s power capacity along with an increase in the data center space at ‎their North Dallas co-location facility.‎

The move will facilitate the company to woo international customers and also improve ‎the service offerings that meet international data center needs to all their existing and new ‎clients. CyrusOne was also in a position to acquire or turn down an additional 10,000 ‎square feet, to be taken upon request, as part of the agreement. ‎

The company’s new data center, designed and built for meeting the standards specified ‎for high availability co-location space, features N+N or N+1 power solutions, a minimum ‎of N+1 standby provided for all cooling systems, a minimum N+N UPS with battery ‎back-up, and adequate fire detection and suppression systems, security arrangements and ‎intelligent building management systems. ‎The data center has provided access to various telecommunication service providers like ‎Abovenet, British Telecom, COLT, Easynet, Virgin Media, Vtesse and Verizon, in ‎response to the growing demand of customers and evolving demand requirements for co-‎location space, in tune with some of the very attractive, growing market segments in ‎Europe.

State-of-the-art construction, having a raised level floor space meeting the best engineering design ‎standards with focus on both resiliencies and redundancies had been adopted at the ‎center. The new data center would be operational in spring.‎
