The company has commenced construction on site 4no. data centres in separate financial index city locations. The fifth site to start construction is the recently acquired three acre site in Loughton, Essex. The £40million development is set to provide UK businesses with the best combination of independence, scalability and resilience for the corporate financial market. This is programmed for completion in October 2008.

Simultaneously, Galileo Connect will construct a £200million modular data centre in Paris, France.  Thanks to the company’s unique methodology, which streamlines, standardises and automates the complex, risky and time consuming process associated with designing and building data centres, this site will be completed by September 2008 providing a resilient and cost effective hub for European businesses.
 
“Sustainability is the issue of the day, and it’s a topic that our industry has to take seriously,” commented Julian King, CEO of Galileo Connect.  “Our approach is born of over a decade of study in to the architectural, engineering and operational issues involved in the provision and ongoing management of highly resilient data centres.  We are confident our new "modular" concept will address this issue and serve the global demand for secure data centres that are environmentally sound.”
