Star Data Centre 3 – Now Open
News : November 3, 2009
Star Data Centre 3 lies at the heart of exciting new technology developments that will help your business reduce and control IT spend and accelerate operational performance while minimising your exposure to financial and operational risk.
This multi-million pound investment in a 10,000ft² facility is your opportunity to take a leap ahead of your competition.
Built within Star's Next Generation Network, the "Building the Cloud" project opens the door for UK businesses to take advantage of Utility Computing and Unified Communications.
Star Data Centre 3 is an integral part of a technology platform that will give you access to the next generation of managed ICT services.
The Vision
Over recent years more and more businesses have been turning to the Internet to deliver products and services. The growth and wider availability of low cost connectivity means that businesses have access to a wider number of consumers and markets. It also means that delivering applications over the network from a data centre environment has become an everyday reality.
As technology reaches a level of maturity where many diverse and complex services can be delivered via the network to users regardless of location or device, Star are building a data centre to support the future needs of its customers.
Star Data Centre 3
To enable the delivery of powerful, flexible and scalable computing from the data centre, it was imperative that the chosen location for Star Data Centre 3 must have huge amounts of reliable power. Virtualisation technologies allow for higher densities of computing power but this is often throttled by the infrastructure capacity of conventional data centres. The abundant scalable mains power delivered to Star's chosen site in Bristol allows greater efficiencies as a result of increased server utilisation.
The two purpose built data halls provide a high specification infrastructure for both double-density collocation space and the high availability platforms required for the delivery of next generation managed services.
Connectix & Star Working in Synergy
Connectix is a leading UK manufacturer of Structured Cabling Systems for low latency, high speed data centre infrastructures and LANs. Star have partnered with Connectix to deliver a next generation cabling solution, incoroporating 2136 x 10GBase-T compliant physical infrastructure links across 23 collocation cabinets.
At each stage of this Connectix Cabling Systems worked in partnership with Star to meet any challenges head-on by thinking beyond convention and staying true to the overall objective of creating a facility that can support the data demands of Star's customers both now and in the future. The design of the cabling and cabinets meets the most demanding standards to act as an enabler for high end virtualised and utility computing services.
