Kao Data, a specialist developer and operator of data centres engineered for AI and advanced computing, has announced that construction of its second Harlow data centre, KLON-02, is now fully complete, commissioned and operational.
The new 10MW, NVIDIA DGX Ready data centre – designed and built to the highest standards of sustainability and efficiency – marks a key step forward in the continued expansion of Kao Data’s high performance infrastructure platform. It further underpins its Harlow campus as one of the UKs preeminent locations for advanced computing.
Following significant growth across its customer portfolio, which includes organisations working within AI, financial services, cloud and life sciences, Kao Data’s second Harlow data centre provides a further 3,400m2 of high-density, scalable, technical space to its data centre portfolio, with room for up-to 1,800 racks of GPU-powered IT equipment (ITE) across four technology suites.
The new data centre will continue to follow Kao Data’s award-winning, OCP-Ready and hyperscale-inspired design blueprint, providing customers with a secure, sustainable and scalable home for their mission critical workloads.
Organisations can fully customise their deployments within the data centre, incorporating liquid-cooled hardware where necessary, and taking advantage of the campus’s world-class connectivity and rapid on-ramps into all major cloud providers.
Furthermore, KLON-02 has been designed to deliver the highest levels of sustainability, meeting BREEAM ‘Excellent’ certified criteria and being powered by both 100% certified renewable energy and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO).
