| High demand in Manchester |
| 09 Jul 2008 | |||

UK Grid has seen a high demand for colocation space in its new Data Centre, 1 Synergy House, which opened for business in Q1 of this year. The facility is located on Manchester Science Park, which forms the main hub of the Internet in Manchester and boasts the best available Internet connectivity in the North West. Patrick Doyle, the Technical director of UK Grid states "We have firm orders for 25% of the ground floor despite only being operational since Q1 of 2008. Due to the lack of quality Data Centre space in Manchester, demand is very high. Almost all of the other similar facilities in Manchester are completely full now. We are planning on opening the top floor earlier than expected and are now quite far down the line with plans to open a 2nd facility nearby. We are also actively trying to bring more tier1 carriers to the area. Recently we completed the installation of Cogent Communications Manchester fibre network connecting the global tier1 provider to the main Data Centres in Manchester, shortly we hope to be announcing the arrival of another major tier1 provider to the facility!"
