OpenHosting Datacentre Build - nearing completion

Posted by chrisbyrd, 02-08-2009, 03:58 PM
For the past few months, we've been constructing a state-of-the-art datacentre on Trafford Park in Manchester. The fit-out phase of the project is now its final stage and we're very much on-target for completion before the end of this month.
We've set up an informal blog (http://build.manchesterdc.com/) in order for you to keep track of progress (if you're interested...)
Features 'at a glance'...
* Detached building with private fenced yard and carpark
* N+1 Paralleled UPS Protection
* N+1 Downflow Cooling
* Heavy-duty raised access floor
* VESDA Fire Detection with FM200 suppression
* Overhead data cable containment
* Highly efficient cooling with cold-aisle containment
* Dedicated 11Kv substation on-site
* Full generator backup, with several daysÃ¢ÂÂ on-site fuel storage
* 24-hour monitored and recorded internal and external CCTV security
* Multiple-10G resilient network ring linking the site to key datacentres in Manchester and London, and onwards to Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Belgium over our European network
* Support in room/phase 1 for 145 47u racks, accomodating up to 6000 servers
* On-site build, storage, office, meeting and recreation facilities
The primary purpose of the site is to support our expanding shared and dedicated hosting infrastructure, but there will also be a quantity of 11u and 47u cabinets available for colocation customers. Contact us (http://www.ohtele.com/contact/) for information or to arrange a tour.
More information to follow, as it becomes available
