Equinix MA5: Gateway to the North
Equinix MA5, the first site connected and live, is a highly secure data centre that offers remote geo-redundancy for the UK's capital. It is also located in a key strategic location in Greater Manchester, which acts as the gateway to the North.
THS: A Critical Interconnection Point
THS, which will come on-net in the coming months, is expected to see huge demand for connectivity due to its location and support for one of the most critical interconnection points in the UK. It is also near Telehouse North and Telehouse North Two, where Neos said it experiences some of its highest demand for connectivity services.
