Hall 7 at Pulsant’s South London facility features more than 400m2 of new floor space to accommodate almost 200 racks.
Pulsant has opened a new data centre hall in its South London facility. Hall 7 is the latest development in a planned £20m investment across the Tier 3 equivalent site, and features more than 400m2 of new data floor space to accommodate almost 200 racks.
According to the specialist provider of hybrid cloud services, the hall was designed as a minimum to be a fully maintainable N+1 configuration across power and cooling. It is said to offer direct connectivity to five major London POPs, as well as direct connections to major exchanges outside the capital.
Pulsant claims the new hall also features the latest design innovations on both plant and materials. It says this includes Eurobond insulation to reduce temperature increases as a result of environmental changes, dynamic thermodynamic monitoring technologies for heat and cooling optimisation, and the latest rack containment systems to maximise efficiency across all areas of the environment.
CTO Matt Lovell says: “The construction of Hall 7 is just the latest step in our plan to expand the capacity and services delivered from our South London data centre site to include eight purpose-built data halls, bringing the total area to 3,300m2.”
Pulsant’s South London data centre is one of 14 sites owned and operated by the company.
