Colocation

Crosspoint offer colocation services from a single U up to full cabinets out of our data centres in Telehouse Docklands and Sentrum Woking.  We also have some legacy capacity in Bracknell (Berkshire).   Our two primary facilities, Telehouse Docklands and Sentrum Woking are both well established and offer very high standards of quality, reliability and sercuity.  The two sites are directly linked by our own Gigabit ring from two providers.

Telehouse Docklands – the established connectivity hub

Telehouse primarily appeals to wholesale customers wanting a point of presence in the key strategic UK and European interconnection hub.  As a result our customers here tend to be carriers, ISPs, telcos and hosting companies and we host quite a number of overseas customers or domestic clients needing a point of presence here.  Crosspoint closely support all our clients in Telehouse, organising installs, arranging cross-connects, essentially being the local hands and support for our distant customers.

Sentrum Woking – unsurpassed quality and security

Sentrum Woking is one of the most impressive enterprise grade data centres in the country and at 200,000 sq ft of net tech the sheer scale of the site is very apparent.  Due to the very sensitive nature of some of the tenants from both the finance and public sector site security is to SEAP 3 standards and one hall is List-X certified.  The site is supported by two fully diverse 80MVA power feeds with current onsite generation of 60MW.  With Sentrum selling large scale suites on a long term leasehold basis Crosspoint has been able to secure rack space in a private suite to support our retail focussed business model and can offer individual racks or even part racks.  Our Woking data centre will appeal to any customer bothered about quality and security.

Some standard specifications are listed below but we can quote for any particular requirement on request.  Be aware, colocation is all about power these days!  Power will be the key driver in determining how much space you need, so bear this in mind and of course do call to discuss your own likely power needs if you need help, as we can certainly look what typical draws we are seeing from other customers and compare with your own deployment.

Our data centre portfolio offers a wide range of options to cater for different power, network and geographic needs; call us to discuss which site will best suit your own particular situation and do read more about each facility in the descriptions below:
