CyrusOne Plans 90MW Facility in Buckinghamshire, UK

US operator CyrusOne this week announced its sixth campus in the UK, LON6. Located in Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire, the new site is set to deliver 90MW of IT capacity across 30,000 square meters (322,917 sq ft) of technical space. The campus will feature four two-story and two single-story data halls.

“This development marks an important step in our European growth journey,” said Matt Pullen, EVP and managing director, Europe, CyrusOne. “We’re thrilled to be announcing our plans for this new facility and continuing our growth in London. As demand for digital services continues to accelerate, larger facilities are necessary to provide the economies of scale that customers need, while also ensuring maximum functionality and mitigating the risk of downtime. The UK market enables us to respond to these requirements, and we look forward to continuing our expansion and supporting the Government to establish the UK as a center of excellence in digital services for technology innovation.”

Secretary of State for Science Peter Kyle said: “This fantastic new facility will help to power many of our online tasks, from navigating with online maps, to messaging and shopping online, and we are committed to growing this vital infrastructure and giving the UK the opportunity to thrive in the 21st century.
