Built by Gyron, this data centre offers connectivity right out to the last mile, as a result of Fluidata’s broad range of connectivity products such as ADSL2+, SDSL and Fibre.

Robin Balen, Managing Director at Gyron states:

Our Centro datacentre in Hemel Hempstead has been built from the ground up with high density power and cooling systems, along with diverse dark fibre connectivity. This, coupled with our location just outside of the M25, makes the facility an ideal choice for disaster recovery and cloud computing applications. Connectivity to the end user’s premises is a key part of any such outsourcing strategy, and one which many datacentres overlook. We look forward to working with Fluidata and their wide range of connectivity services to meet this need.

Piers Daniell, Managing Director of Fluidata states:

In today’s climate, it is increasingly important for businesses to consider hosting and virtualisation in the cloud as a viable business initiative.

At Fluidata, our offering includes multiple data centres across the UK operating on a dark fibre network, configured to operate as one: This is a significant development and an important requirement for businesses looking to host key applications within the cloud. Coupled with national last mile coverage it is a compelling business case for virtualisation.
