Kao Data, a specialist developer and operator of high-performance data centres for enterprise, cloud, HPC and AI, has announced the availability of a 16 Megawatt (MW), carrier-neutral data centre in Slough, west London. The launch marks a new beginning for Kao Data following the recent investment of approximately £130 million from global infrastructure business, Infratil Limited, and will expand its market-leading, ultra-sustainable data centre platform into this globally significant data centre hub.
The build, now underway, 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 and will 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.
Furthermore, the data centre will provide the industrial-scale capabilities that Kao Data is well-known for. The facility is already set to become NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Centre certified and OCP-Ready, serving the needs of high-performance computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and enterprise customers, all of whom rely on the finest, Tier 3 equivalent environments to support and scale their mission-critical workloads.
