Facility Description
Lumison opened this small facility off Purley Way, Croydon in Q4 2007. It had formerly been built and run by VideoNetworks, prior to their takeover by Tiscali. After acquiring the site Lumison spent some £1m upgrading it. In Jan 2009 Lumison announced NetBenefit were a new client in the facility. Further growth came through the acquisition of Colocation services company, BlueSquare Data Services, and DediPower Managed Hosting Services in 2011. The business has since rebranded under the name of Pulsant.
Standard power was 8Amps per cabinet but new packages of 2, 4 or 8kW per cabinet (just under 20Amps) are now available. Pulsant run 10G rings into Docklands, Telehouse East and Telehouse Metro and can offer competitive VLANs for connectivity back to central London.
Pulsant are ISO27000 and ISO9000 certified.
