Work is continuing on here at our Bournemouth data centre, and we’re making great progress with the build.

As well as the more notable additions to the data centre, such as the raised flooring, fire protection and Power Distribution Units, there are also a number of minor installations being made.

One key example of this is the provision of lighting, specially designed to give all areas of the room light exposure during the evening and night-time hours.

The picture below shows how these light bars look when installed

Yesterday we mentioned that we’re now taking deliveries at our Bournemouth data centre, and today has seen the arrival of some very exciting kit!

As you can see from the picture below, our FM200 fire equipment system has now arrived and is being installed within the facility.

The inclusion of this fire protection equipment helps us to plan for any eventuality, meaning customers’ kit would be protected in the unlikely event that a fire were to break out within the facility.

The installation will take around 4-5 days to complete, as there is a large amount of pipework to be installed and then painted. We’ll keep you updated with our progress!

As you can see from the photo below, we have now started to take equipment deliveries at our Bournemouth data centre.

Over the next few months we will see an awful lot of kit being delivered ready for installation within the facility, and this morning we’ve welcomed the first delivery.

More news to come later on what’s underneath the tarpaulin!
