The new data centre will accomodate two data halls of 114 racks each on the ground floor, with the first going live in early 2025 and this will be about half occupied once all racks are migrated from their existing Notthingham site.

Diverse network out of the site on Virgin and BT Openreach fibre runs to both CWCS PoP’s in London Docklands and Manchester. Additional fibre networks are also expected in 2025.
