| New data centre opens from Fujitsu Services |

Fujitsu Services has opened its newest secure data centre. The £44 million data centre has proven environmental and sustainability credentials at its core – not only is it the first in Europe to be independently certified to the Uptime Institute’s international Tier III standard , but it will nearly halve the energy used by previous data centres. Based within 35 miles of London it will serve the data centre needs for public and private organisations across both the UK and Europe, helping customers to overcome their data centre capacity problems, saving them from the lengthy delays and local planning restrictions involved in building or extending their own data centre facilities.
The new data centre is a brown field development utilising a refurbished warehouse, to further reduce the environmental impact compared to a new building on green fields. When fully loaded the data centre will achieve a power usage efficiency (PUE) rating of 1.6 (62% DCiE) compared to previous data centres at PUE 3.0. (33% DCiE) - this is nearly double the efficiency of previous data centres. Martin Provoost, Fujitsu Services head of data centres said: “Fujitsu’s new data centre combines high resilience and high efficiency, which is difficult to achieve as these two factors often oppose each other. Attaining high resilience requires more redundant infrastructure, which in turn consumes more energy. However, through new proven technology, Fujitsu’s London North data centre achieves both the optimum resilience level and a leading efficiency rating.” Aperture Technologies is providing Fujitsu Services with comprehensive Aperture VISTA infrastructure resource management technology for the data centre.
