Digital Marketing Agency, Having opened LONDON1 in 2011, British colocation specialist Virtus has now officially launched LONDON2 data center in Hayes, a suburb of London close to Heathrow, to better serve the needs of customers based in the capital. The facility will eventually offer more than 6,000 square meters of technical space.
Product strategy director Matthew Larbey said at the launch event: “If you go to Slough [the unofficial data center capital of the UK], you are effectively a tenant to SEGRO Estates, so all 22 data centers that are in Slough have one landlord. They have a cost base that, over time, they don’t have control of.”
Virtus CEO Neil Cresswell added: “Sometimes there’s an advantage to be where other people aren’t. We are almost exactly halfway between Docklands and Slough, in this ‘Goldilocks zone’ as we call it, where you are far enough for DR purposes but close enough for synchronous replication.”
