Telstra Europe Opens Data Center
April 5, 2006 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — UK-based telephony and Internet supplier Telstra Europe (telstra.co.uk) announced on Tuesday it has selected NetApp storage to support Cambridge, England’s first Internet data center. The facility will provide managed storage, disaster recovery, and business continuity services to British businesses.
Telstra Europe is using a combination of NetApp fabric-attached storage systems and NetApp NearStore systems for data archival, featuring NetApp RAID Double Parity for high levels of data protection. The solution allows Telstra Europe to offer scalable, secure and resilient managed storage services.
The center is Telstra Europe’s fifth purpose built site in the UK. The company also has existing data centers in London Docklands, Birmingham, Manchester and Sunderland. Located at St. John’s Innovation Park in Cambridge, the facilities include a telecommunications room, a test lab and managed hosting and colocation facilities.
“With increased regulatory requirements governing data storage, including Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II, and the Data Protection Act amongst others, compliance has been propelled to the top of the board room agenda,” says David Thorn, CEO of Telstra Europe.
