power usage effectiveness ( PUE ) suites . The campus has been built to support a variety of different customers , from hyperscale multi-megawatt deployments through to enterprise and single rack colocation .
Furthermore , the campus will be further extended and enhanced with the planned development of a third data centre on the campus , London South , which is expected to come online in the next few years .
“ We started the redevelopment programme with London North and upgraded space within the data centre to provide high-density technical suites with increased IT power ,” Winter comments . “ These spaces reflect our reference design principles with no raised floor and flooded room cooling , delivered by a fan wall product . These initial spaces are already contracted to a global Enterprise customer . The completion of the Phase 1 redevelopment will see the delivery of additional high-density suites .”
Similarly , in London East , Global Switch has a power densification programme which will see existing suites refurbished to provide higher power density . “ This commenced with a singlefloor feasibility study which was immediately let to a hyperscale customer ,” Winter comments . “ Through this first phase , we have extended the study to look across the whole data centre to offer further improvement in terms of PUE and high-density space .
“ While London North and London East are focused on continuous improvement , we also have our planned new development London South which will sit alongside our other data centres as a part of a single campus but with diverse utility and connectivity services ,” adds Winter . “ This state-of-the-art data centre will complement the other data centres on our campus and expand upon the IT power and services that we can offer .”
“ The campus is fantastically positioned , only a stone ' s throw from the financial district of Canary Wharf as well as the City of London , and is located on the site of London ’ s earliest network and connectivity hub ”
