IFL – Manchester3

Markets: Manchester/NW England
Operator: IFL - Internet Facilitators
Location: Salford Quays Manchester
  • New 22,000 sq ft facility
  • Planned opening from Dec 2010 with Phase 1 of 300 cabs
  • 4.5kW per cabinet design specification

Colo-X Analysis

IFL’s Manchester3 facility will be their first in Manchester for several years and increase their capacity in the market by almost doubling their floor space but increasing their power by some 200%, given the enhanced specification of this 8MVA facility.  Key to its initial success will be the ability to access the carrier hub at IFL2 until more carriers actually dig in to this site.  Otherwise the well established position of IFL in the local market together with the quality specification should ensure its success.

  • Located opposite the Media City development at Salford Quays.
  • First phase of 300 cabinets forecast to go live in December 2010.
