According to the press release, ISP's new data center in Manchester will provide Internet Central customers with a "more efficient and thus cost-effective data centre offering the company's growing number of business customers increased resilience, additional transit and reduced network complexity."
The facility also features the latest gigabit technology, which will help Internet Central provide significant growth opportunities in the future.
The company says it decided to make the move to the Manchester facility in response to ongoing demand by the company's customers for "more resilience and protection, more diversity and faster speeds for Internet and Intranet access."
Customers said their priorities are the "delivery of a securely hosted IT infrastructure with maximum uptime and high standards of service at a competitive price."
The data center operates an N+1 redunacy with 2 x 2MVA diesel generators with 8 days of on-site fuel storage in case of power failure. It also features high security with around the clock automated management systems, CCTV and on site security guards.
The new facility will also act as Internet Central's primary connectivity point for its new national Ethernet connectivity services based on BT's 21CN platform with direct connections to its broadband network, three international tier 1 transit providers, direct peering with all major UK operators and content providers such as the BBC and Microsoft.
