Week 9 has seen some more of the Sutton data centre decommissioned ahead of its closure, as well as the extension of our systems in Docklands. The Docklands facilities we use help form part of our global network, giving us access to carriers and connectivity. By operating our own rack space in other key London locations, we are able to maintain end-to-end control over our systems.

As you can see, this week has seen a division of work across 3 sites, making for a very busy period in terms of physical work and planning / orchestration.
