Web Wiz New Poole Data Centre

17 May 2018, in Web Wiz News, Web Wiz Data Centre

Web Wiz are pleased to announce the opening of our new 1,800 sq. ft. Tier II Data Centre facility in Poole, Dorset on the South Coast of the UK.

The location of the purpose-built Data Centre was selected as it situated on the highest point in Poole to reduce the risk of flooding.

Green energy efficiency was at the heart of our new Data Centre design, with Generators powered by Natural Gas rather than Diesel and A++ rated Heat Exchangers to keep the Data Hall cool.

We understand that to our customers service outages are a major concern that is why we have two diverse Fibre Connections coming in to the building at opposite sides, one from BT OpenReach and the other from Virgin Media.

Over the next couple of months, we will be migrating our Equipment and Servers co-located at 3rd Party Data Centres over to our new Poole Data Centre.

If you would like to book a tour of our new Poole Data Centre facilities please contact Web Wiz.
