CEO OF PURE DATA CENTRES GROUP
“ We welcome the government ’ s decision to classify data centres as critical national infrastructure ( CNI ) and look forward to working with the relevant agencies . This significant step underscores the vital role our facilities play in our digital economy and national security .
“ The data centre industry works incredibly hard to provide and maintain the digital infrastructure which powers and supports all our lives . Reliability and security are always at the forefront of what we do . To get the official recognition and support that we are a vital part of UK infrastructure feels like a very important milestone .
“ At Pure Data Centres , we fully support this initiative and are committed to working closely with all stakeholders to strengthen our nation ’ s digital infrastructure . We hope the new status will encourage all stakeholders to come together to enable smoother planning and delivery of new data centres .”
