According to TelecityGroup, it will be adding a total of 6.5MW of customer capacity in London to help support its customers in this constrained market.
TelecityGroup has five data centers located in London Docklands, all within close proximity of each other, which provide rich connectivity with direct access to a wide choice of network providers.
The latest expansion will be at TelecityGroup’s Harbour Exchange in the Docklands, where it will add 3 MW of customer capacity. Located in one of Europe’s most in-demand data center campuses, the additional capacity is scheduled to go online in Q4 2011.
The company also recently expanded its Sovereign House facility to provide an additional 1,000 square metres of data centre space at 2kW/rack.

The company said the facility will help fulfil the latent demand for highly connected capacity in the north of England.
