Science Park News: New Data Centre

 

Following on from last year's investment in new infrastructure on the Park, VOSTRON is now a major influence in the development of the technology that currently drives many of the tenants' IT services, including Southampton Science Park itself.

VOSTRON's private fibre network ring serves each building on the park in addition to their fully managed Data Centre which is nearing completion on the site. The new Data Centre will provide 8,000 sq ft of available rackspace initially with the option of a further 4,000 sq ft when the need arises.

The Data Centre is fed by diversely routed power feeds from separate sub-stations, protected by UPS and Dedicated Generator and can deliver up to 4kW of power per rack-footprint. In addition, the hosting floors are cooled by N+1 HVAC, protected with Argon/Carbon/Nitrogen Fire Suppression (over head and under floor), monitored by internal and external CCTV and connected to the internet by diversely routed fibre optic all the way to London Docklands. VOSTRON's fibre IP network is delivering sub 3ms round trip times to the BBC and has Multiple Gigabit capacity.

Despite VOSTRON's obvious appeal to larger corporates with multiple site WAN networks, they are committed to providing a comparable service to all companies on Southampton Science Park. Integrating all office suites with the latest network applications and services, as well as IP Voice systems over a lightning-fast network, they provide a fully managed service that new tenants can just 'Arrive and Use'.

New Tenant Adam Kingdon of i2O says 'It's amazing, we just turned up on our first day, plugged our computers into the cables positioned at our desks, and we were able to work immediately. VOSTRON had not only provided our internet connection, but cabled our office and ensured our new telephone numbers were routed to our mobiles prior to us arriving on site on the first day, so our business cards were printed and distributed without us having to worry about losing calls or enquiries. Office moves shouldn't be this easy!'
