Phased Expansion

The expansion will occur in two phases, each totalling 7 MW across three data halls within the existing building, offering over 5,500 square meters of white space upon completion of both phases. The first phase is scheduled for completion by Q1 2025.

Specifically, three new data halls supporting a 7 MW IT load will be constructed inside an existing building, followed by an additional three halls supporting a 7 MW IT load. For clients requiring scale, the site provides a built-to-suit opportunity of 16 MW on an adjacent plot of land with secured power and planning permission, as per the official release.

Location

The east London site, less than 10 miles from the financial centers of the City of London and Docklands, offers an opportunity to build an availability zone with other data centers in Dagenham and Harlow. In terms of connectivity, the site boasts connections to major fiber routes, with over 10 independent fiber providers providing a full array of low-latency connectivity solutions.

"This is a true milestone in our international expansion. London is an extremely important data center hub and a must-have location for many international companies. Our aim is to gradually expand our footprint in several international markets, and London is an ideal location to continue executing this strategy," Green Mountain added.
