Sentry42 Planning New Gatehouse Data Center

UK co-location firm Sentry42 is planning to open their new Gatehouse data center. The ‎facility, located adjacent to Norwich, near London, has a massive 60,000 square foot ‎Data Center space, to overcome the data crunch situation that had developed in UK.‎

Sentry42 is a co-location business managed by Data Center Consultant Migration ‎Solutions. Migration Solutions had undertaken the $20 million renovation of the facility, ‎occupied and used earlier by an insurance firm. The company would also take over the ‎management of the facility.‎

The company was delighted with the rapid progress of The Gatehouse from an initial ‎idea to a ready made business-facility. Customers demand state-of-the-art ‎environmentally sound design without any comprise on reliability or security. The ‎Gatehouse fulfills these expectations.‎

The facilities provided at Gatehouse include 5.4MW diverse power, N+1 power ‎redundancy, and stand by generators capable of operating continuously for eight days at ‎full load.‎

The company has complied with the EU Code of Conduct for Data Center Energy ‎Efficiency and the guidelines set up by The Green Grid. As part of green requirements, ‎the facility has free cooling chillers that provide 8,343 hours of free cooling per year, ‎non-ozone-depleting air handling units, and LED lighting.‎

The Gatehouse has access to multiple Telecom providers to manage Telco Interchange ‎Rooms including Virgin Media, Cable & Wireless and BT.‎
