Colo-X analysis
The NTT HH1 or Centro data centre was originally built and developed by Gyron as their first self-built facility in 2009. The single-storey data centre offers decent mid-density colocation across a number of dedicated halls in a refitted modern industrial building.
With Gyron being acquired by NTT in June 2012, Centro remains well suited to retail colocation rack users. This is in contrast to the other two Gyron Hemel Hempstead data centres nearby (now NTT HH2 and HH3) where the focus is on large-scale dedicated suites at 1MW or above, and where parent NTT offers retail colocation services to smaller users. In summary, this is a good-quality mid-density site at an attractive price point.
