Manchester cloud hosting and data centre operator, TeleData, has announced a £2m expansion.
The project at its Delta House facility in Wythenshawe will see the centre expand by 7,000 sq ft and will bring online up to 200 server racks for customers while attracting additional fibre providers to the centre.
The expansion will "make use of the most advanced technologies available to ensure maximum efficiencies, and the entire facility will benefit from a number of non-disruptive changes’ to power and cooling systems."
Matt Edgley, TeleData commercial director said; “TeleData is expanding at a time when available data centre capacity is nearing a critical point, particularly in Manchester, with a serious lack of new investment into high quality supply coming from other providers in the region.
“As the world emerges from the current pandemic situation, data centres form an increasingly important part of the national fabric, enabling remote and flexible working with high capacity networking and compute solutions to ensure peace of mind.
"Customers who are serious about their technology, the environment and effective continuity of key services should be considering TeleData as a provider as we strive to keep our facility ahead of the technology curve.
“Our new data centres will be able to accommodate anything from quarter racks and half racks to dedicated suites or rooms, and phase one of the expansion will be complete in Q4 of 2020.”
This announcement comes after the firm made a six figure investment into its cloud platform in 2019, as well as a £1.2m investment into energy efficiencies - TeleData recently became the first UK colocation facility to join the smart grid with battery storage, as part of a project to improve environmental efficiencies.
