LONDON -- Savvis, a CenturyLink company (NYSE: CTL) and global leader in cloud infrastructure and hosted IT solutions for enterprises, today announced the availability of a new data centre in London Docklands. The new facility offers the opportunity for long-term expansion and will complement Savvis’ existing European locations in the London area – Docklands, Slough and Reading – and Frankfurt, Germany.

Known as Savvis LO3, the new data centre is now available with 1.53 megawatts of IT load and 10,800 square feet of raised floor space. Savvis has made further investments in the data centre’s infrastructure, increasing resilience to ensure that it can support the company’s standard 100 percent service level agreement on power that is maintained across all of its global data centres.

“Our global clients in the financial services sector need expandable, high-quality colocation, managed infrastructure and cloud with the close proximity to markets needed for low-latency trading. As they expand their trading operations, demand for this type of capability as a flexible resource is growing,” said Neil Cresswell, Savvis EMEA managing director. “Against the background of ever-increasing power constraints in the London region, we are delighted to deliver this power and space to support the continued growth of our clients.”
