Fasthosts automates U.K. data centre with intent-based networking
Fasthosts, a major UK hosting provider in the IONOS group, are seeing strong business growth as small and midsized businesses (SMBs) expand their digital presence and adopt cloud-based applications to fuel sales and productivity. To deliver fast and reliable web, productivity, and cloud services, the group opened a state-of-the-art data centre in Worcester, England.
The hosting group’s newest data centre is designed for scalability, flexibility, and availability. The facility is the first Tier IV data centre in the UK and includes a 30,729-square-foot technical space as well as providing expansive office space. A modular architecture allows resources to be dedicated to customers of Fasthosts as well as to other IONOS brands.
In addition to running on 100% renewable energy, the data centre generates up to 525kW of power from photovoltaic panels on the roof of the building.
The data centre hosts one of the largest cloud platforms in Europe, providing customers of Fasthosts and IONOS’ other brands with fast, reliable, and secure websites, email, servers, storage, and digital marketing tools. Customers can meet their U.K. data privacy mandates by storing their data within the country. And they can feel good about running their digital operations in the most environmentally friendly data centre.
