Data centre specialist doubles capacity with new state-of-the-art-facility
17/09/2009
Businesses are set to benefit from more high quality data centre space following MDS Technologies’ decision to open a new high-tech facility in Crawley, West Sussex.
The 3,000 sq ft centre will more than double MDS’s capacity and will enable the company to offer an even higher level of IT resilience, ensuring software applications keep running in the event of power or internet connectivity failures.
The Crawley centre will boast half a meg (0.5MW) of power availability and high level physical security, including reinforced steel doors, CCTV and a coded biometric access system.
“This move marks a significant development for companies striving to streamline their IT function and reduce costs in these difficult times,” said Phil Dawson, MDS Technologies’ Managing Director.
“UK data centre capacity is limited, and this is particularly true of England’s South East. Consequently, this new facility will radically boost data service provision as well as offering businesses, and other organisations, a more robust disaster recovery solution.”
MDS Technologies offers high availability, co-location, services and support with the deployment of complex applications using Software as a Service (SaaS) architecture across more than 30 countries. Multiple lines of gigabyte fibre communication are used to transmit data to and from Tier One carriers for internet and inter-site connectivity.
