Project description

The 11.75MW expansion of Kao Data’s carrier-neutral data centre in Slough.

The new facility significantly expands Kao Data’s platform, supporting immediate growth for hyperscale, cloud and enterprise organisations within west London and the M4 corridor. The highly secure, data centre adheres to Kao Data’s pioneering design and sustainability principles, providing an energy efficient home for high-performance colocation.

The project will adhere to the high-performance design, efficiency, and operational blueprint of Kao Data’s Harlow campus, providing customers with an SLA-backed PUE of <1.2, even at partial loads. From a sustainability standpoint, the new facility will use an ultra-efficient cooling system, be powered by 100% renewable energy, with its backup power generators powered by hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) from the outset, removing fossil fuels in their entirety.

 

We’re delighted to be working with Buro Four | Data to scale our OCP-Ready™ and NVIDIA DGX-Ready platform into the world’s second largest data centre hub, and to support cloud, enterprise, HPC and AI customers in the region with industrial-scale infrastructure"
