Said Charles Carden, director of GVA Connect, the specialist data centre division of international real estate agent GVA, “We had already announced significant connectivity for the Gateway Data Centre in West Thurrock, but the potential of the Zayo dual redundant diverse routed fibre network into the equation is a total game changer for the area.”
The Zayo network, which is within 50m of the site, diversely passes the East and North cable entry points and offers a diversely routed 432 cable enabling pan-European and US fibre networks for occupiers and a full suite of network services; dark fibre, WDM networks, MPLS/ VPLS networks, VPN’s and Tier-1 IP services.
The network (see long haul network map here) has diverse routing to major data centre locations London Docklands and Slough as well as direct to Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt, Dublin and the USA.
The Gateway Data Centre facility is located close to the M25 London Orbital motorway and with easy physical and electronic access to the UK’s financial centres in The City and London Docklands.
Gateway Data Centre consists of a 2.3 hectare site designed to have 8,000 square metres (86,000 sq. ft.) of white space with a gross internal floor area of 19,500 square metres (210,000 sq. ft.).
With up to 50MVA of power potentially available, the Gateway Data Centre is ideal for high density as well as normal density computing uses and is only a few kilometres away from the New York Stock Exchange’s disaster recovery and European Hub data centre in Basildon.
The new Gateway Data Centre already has all necessary planning permissions and is a secure site within an existing trading estate. It can be rapidly delivered as either: ‘Shell and Core’, ‘Powered Shell’, or it can be ‘Fully Fitted’ to customer requirements.
The connectivity possibilities announced today are in addition to those offered by BT, KPN, Vodafone (Cable and Wireless), Level 3 and Fujitsu whose own data centre is a very close neighbour in this area. Further data centres in this West Thurrock area are already being planned.
Fully consented plans are available for the Gateway Data Centre including the conversion of the existing building and these can be viewed by contacting Charles Carden at GVA Connect’s London Stratton Street office. Or visit www.gatewaydatacentre.co.uk
