The new hall, named the Shoreditch Suite due to its location at the heart of Tech City, will see City Lifeline take a further step in the expansion of the London data centre. The current part of this multi-phase development includes a new 11,000 volt sub-station and a 2 Megawatt increase in power to the data centre. The Shoreditch Suite will have 88 new racks available immediately, with more to come in 2015, and will be unveiled in October. October 2014 is City lifeline’s 21st birthday.
Roger Keenan, managing director of City Lifeline, says, “This is a very exciting time at City Lifeline. This project will see us quadruple our power capacity over the next four years. The accelerating acceptance of cloud by businesses has resulted in a huge increase in network capacity. With our long background in data communications and computing, and our location right in the heart of London, we are ideally placed to deliver cloud and communications services to both a London and a world-wide customer base.
“I strongly believe that the needs of our clients should come first and they will be able to grow faster with us in the Shoreditch Suite from October.
“To ensure this development is in-line with the rest of our facilities, the Shoreditch Suite is designed to Tier 3 standards. It is ‘concurrently maintainable’, so every part of the system required for reliable operation is duplicated to enable maintenance without affecting the continued operation of the customer’s equipment.
“Connectivity downtime is a costly issue, with recent figures showing 80 per cent of small businesses incur costs of at least £11,500 per hour. That’s why we do everything in our power to guarantee the best service possible, ensuring cloud outages simply don’t happen.”
