Working at one of London’s premier data centres

Netwise NOC

Would you like to work at one of London’s premier data centres?

Data centres are, without question, the epitome of the modern high-tech working environment. Cutting edge technology, ultra resilient infrastructure, a constant stream of exciting new projects; what’s not to love?

There are very few career opportunities which offer such broad access to the latest and greatest innovations in mission-critical infrastructure and systems, with a complete focus on leveraging this technology to better the business operations of organisations around the world.

 

Why data centres?

The data centre industry is booming, particularly here in London, which is one of the world’s foremost business and connectivity hubs.

As more and more end user services move into ‘the cloud’, the global reliance on data centres increases day-by-day, and there is no sign of this slowing down. In fact, demand for data centre services is set to grow exponentially over the coming decade, and far beyond.

The demand placed on data centres continues to rise everyday. Countless digital services are now delivered entirely over the web, all of which are delivered from data centres around the world.

Much of the global economy now relies entirely on the data centres and networks that make up the international web of interconnected facilities more commonly referred to as ‘the internet’.

It can be said without hesitation that the data centre industry is very much set to become the foremost technological powerhouse of the next 50+ years.

Why choose London colocation?

Sometimes, you may ask yourself what the driving factor behind the critical importance of London as a colocation centre really is. After all, why not look into colocation options outside of the city, in the surrounding counties, or even further afar in a secondary market such as Manchester?

London data centre

The simple fact of the matter is that ISPs and colocation operators naturally gravitate towards centres of economic activity, where network density and commercial potential are at their strongest. In Europe, the most prominent hubs of this kind are London, Frankfurt, Paris and Amsterdam.

London and New York are currently estimated to be the world’s biggest retail colocation markets, according to TeleGeography, with each having at least 7 million square feet of gross data centre space. This of course makes London the largest in Europe – by a very considerable margin – over second place, Frankfurt in Germany.

Choosing colocation services in London means choosing to place your critical IT infrastructure in a location which lives and breathes excellence in global technology. Demand in the capital is high as carriers and service providers jostle for access in what is by far Europe’s most important technology hub. This in turn attracts a plethora of tech-start ups and international technology firms, who wish to call London home for their growing businesses.

London is arguably one of the best-connected cities in the world, with every major global carrier having a large presence here. By virtue of this, London is a vital artery between the USA, Europe and Asia – and being on-top of this pulsating technology centre provides you with the very best in connectivity, service and value.

As a consumer, your choice of service providers in the capital is dizzying – a luxury not found in many other metro-areas. Whether you require a single unit of colocation or your own private suite, there are a wealth of options available to you across the city.

Our private, bespoke London data centre is centrally located for easy access, yet remains outside the highly-congested City and Docklands areas. Additionally, our London Central facility is directly connected to both Telehouse North and Harbour Exchange / LD8, forming part of our own private high-capacity fibre ring. This allows us to combine best-in-class amenities with unrivaled Central London value.

We’d love to speak with you about your business requirements, and to tell you more about London as one of the world’s foremost colocation cities, so please do feel free to get in touch.
