Data centre expands as demand increases

The company has recently expanded and has opened its fourth data centre in Hampshire '“ a 22,000 square foot tier III data centre in Cams Estate, Fareham. 

Owner Gary Coates believes that the pressure of GDPR compliance earlier this year, together with some high-profile data breaches, has led companies to become more focused on the need to manage their IT correctly. 

He said: '˜We're delighted to be opening another facility. We opened our first data centre in 2001 and it was state of the art. The world has changed a lot since then and we needed something state of the art again.

'˜We've put a focus on reliability and security. There have been so many headlines about companies losing customer data or being hacked and business owners are realising that it would cost a lot more if they don't invest in the best possible solution.

'˜This is why we provide disaster recovery as standard, and having data centres on two sites is another unique feature we also offer. 

'˜SMEs '“ which make up such a huge part of the business community in Hampshire '“ don't have blue-chip IT budgets at their disposal but we can provide that same standard at a fraction of the cost.' 

ServerHouse started business in 1997 and it is now a leading provider of data centre space, colocation, managed hosting, IaaS and VPS.
