IFL Opens Third UK Colocation Facility
November 7, 2006 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Colocation and data center services provider Internet Facilitators Limited (internetf.co.uk) announced on Tuesday it has opened a new 13,000-square-foot facility in Manchester, UK. The new facility, its third colocation facility in Manchester, is located on the first floor of the IFL2 site at Manchester Technopark.
IFL2 is a purpose built facility with independent n+1 UPS systems and diesel generators protecting the two floors of the building operated by IFL. Additional security features include VESDA smoke detection and FM200 fire suppressant, non-ozone depleting n+1 Air Conditioning and round-the-clock technical support and manned security.
The new facility offers solutions for single and multiple racks in a secure open rack area or dedicated suites. As IFL remain carrier neutral in all three facilities, bandwidth is available from a number of providers with redundant connectivity between all locations.
“We are delighted to say that much of the expansion will cater for the success of our existing customer base,” says Matthew Edgley, IFL sales manager. “Many of these customers are Manchester based and demonstrate demand in the region through their sustained need for quality datacenter space from IFL. Although high, demand for IFL services is not limited to the region as Manchester is increasingly viewed as an alternative to the major facilities in London, or an additional location for added geographical resilience.”
