In an effort to continue offering the best possible services, Express Hosting UK are proud to announce our latest point of presence at Global Switch London 2. The Tier 4 facility located in the London Docklands is Europe’s largest purpose built datacentre with 10 floors and a gross size of 705,498 square feet. The datacentre boasts N+N redundancy on mission critical components, delivering an optimal operating environment to clients 24×7.
The datacentre is powered via 2 x 132kV mains incomers and diverse A&B supplies are distributed via 11kV ring main units. All power and cooling systems are supported by 33 no-break RotaryDiesel UPS sets and in the unlikely event of a full power outage the DC features diesel generators (with 4 x 119,00 litre tanks) which will support 50 hours at full capacity with 8 hour, 24×7 fuel delivery callout contract in place.

New Greenwich Datacentre
Express Hosting UK are proud to announce that in the next month we will be setting up a point of presence (POP) at a brand new datacentre in Greenwich, London. The tier 3 datacentre is strategically located about 1 mile from docklands meaning customers have all the connectivity benefits of being in the centre of the UK internet infrastructure while being on a different power grid to the docklands, thus enabling us to offer both 16a and 32a racks at affordable prices.
The datacentre has a total technical area of 11,200 sqft, with two large server suites (540 m2). The building features N+1 redundancy on 5 x 500kva Diesel Generators (parallel synchronized to feed the entire site) and CRAC air con units keeping the server rooms and all technical areas at a cool 23oC. The DC also has N+N redundancy on the UPS banks (2 x 500kva synchronized Emerson UPS units) and in terms of fire protection, all the technical areas have an Argonite (waterless) fire suppression system with VESDA (very early smoke detection apparatus). Last but not least the Greenwich datacentre has 24/7/365 security with automated and motorized CCTV equipment. Access is strictly controlled, by PAC cards (for outer doors) and biometric hand scanners on all sever suite entrances.
All the datacentre specifications will be up on our website soon, but we can start offering rackspace in the following sizes:
42U Rack - 16a Power
42U Rack - 32a Power
48U Rack - 16a Power
48U Rack - 32a Power
Racks are available with single power feeds or dual (A + B) power feeds, and single or multiple network ports. Multi-homed BGP4 bandwidth is available from 10mbps to 1ogbps.
