In September 2022, we announced our acquisition of Teledata, a colocation data centre in Manchester. This represented our first regional acquisition as part of our expansion strategy.
Manchester is the second largest economic area in the UK and an ideal location for our regional expansion. The addition of this second site to Datum’s portfolio has enhanced our service offering not just through the introduction of a second site, but also through Teledata’s network services and its active-active cloud platform.
This acquisition has brought an additional 22,000 ft2 of technical space to our offering, based at Teledata’s existing MCR1 data centre, while a second facility – MCR2 – which is scheduled to open in 2024, will bring another 50,000 ft2 of space and up to 10 data halls online.
