Netcetera expand colocation hosting
Industry specialist Netcetera has expanded its hosting service by developing a new £10 million facility on the Isle of Man.
The building has been constructed as a means of combating the shortage of server space in London.
Felicitas Gawenat, marketing manager at the company, says it is essential that businesses look after their IT infrastructures.
"Companies are being restricted from expansion by both space and power shortages in their current data centres. Here on the Isle of Man we are in a great position to offer colocation," she states.
Ms Gawenat adds that firms from the banking and financial sector are showing particular interest due to the all-in-one price that hosting can offer.
The new zone will feature 150 racks with ten megawatts of power per rack, an improvement on servers in London which are often of limited size and power.
Kerry Bailey, senior vice president of global services at IT specialist Verizon Business, recently extolled the virtues of hosting by claiming the service offers firms improved performance and efficiency, without the need to handle complexities.
