UK Data Centres

In 2007, the iomart Group made the strategic decision to invest in its own Data Centre infrastructure.

The Group operates and manages 5 UK data centres located in The City of London, Glasgow, Leicester, Maidenhead and Nottingham.

The Group's 100 per cent business uptime guarantee is no idle boast and the company felt that it could only stand behind this claim if controlled and managed the complete customer experience.

A complete 'one source' managed hosting service - from domain to data centre - is very different to what's on offer from other competing hosting and data centre service providers, who traditionally provide either pure colocation space and power or rely on third party data centres for their hosting offerings, which puts the iomart Group in a very strong and unique position in the market.

Today the Group offers the market 4,850m² of advanced data centre technology space in 5 major UK cities, and it managed and cloud hosting operations are not hindered by lack of space, legacy operating systems or practices. As a data centre operator, the Group is fully aware that the industry is a voracious user of power and is serious about playing its part in reducing its impact on the environment, which is why it seeks to implement best practise energy efficiency measures wherever possible e.g. Cold Aisle containment and Hot Gas Re-Heat (HGRG) cooling.
