(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Data center design and build provider Sudlows (www.sudlows.com) announced on Friday it has been hired by an undisclosed UK Web hosting firm to construct its third data center at an initial value of $1.5 milllion (£1 million).
Though the name of the Web host was not disclosed in the press release, it did mention that it is one of the "UK's leading Web hosting companies".
Located in in Manchester, the new 3,051 square foot facility will incorporate 12,000 servers inside.
The data center will host a roster of existing high-profile UK clients including HSBC, Barclays, T-mobile and JJB Sports.
"I am delighted with this latest contract win there is huge demand for new developments within the data center sector at the moment and, as a dynamic company, we like to keep one step ahead of the trend," says Andy Hirst, specialist project director at Sudlows Limited, who heads the project design and development team. "As key members of The Green Grid consortium for energy efficient data centers, Sudlows are in an ideal position to advise and support our client on current issues affecting data center energy usage and recommend the most innovative products emerging on the market for their long term sustainability."
Manchester-base Sudlows is now one of the UK's leading data center designers and builders, combining business abilities from data cabling, optical fiber, electrical and building divisions.
