Stellium Data Centres commits to Scotland
tellium Data Centres , the UK ’ s largest purpose-built and one of the fastest growing colocation and network
S providers , has established a new Scotland office in Aberdeen as part of its growth strategy for the north UK .
This is a key strategic move on the part of Stellium to focus on its developing Scottish market . It aligns well with the evolving macro data centre market in the north UK both regionally and internationally . The developments in submarine networking into the north UK with the Denmark – UK North Sea Connect and Norway – UK NO – UK subsea cable systems at Stellium and the new systems arriving into Scotland , has led to the north UK becoming one of the best connected data centre hubs in Europe .
Stellium Data Centres owns and operates the largest purposebuilt data centre campus in the UK . Located in Newcastle , the campus houses three separate Tier 3 + data centres . The landing of the North Sea Connect and NO – UK subsea systems into Newcastle , which enable high-speed connectivity to Denmark and Norway and beyond , further enhances the connectivity proposition of Stellium and the NCL-IX ( Newcastle Internet Exchange ) hosted there . These also afford companies using the data centre access to a superfast transatlantic digital link offering faster and more reliable connections .
Gerry Murray , Chief Operating Officer at Stellium , said : “ This is an exciting time for Stellium as the company continues to experience rapid growth .
“ Stellium is committed to being part of the growth of the Scottish ICT sector , the enhancement of the Scottish data centre proposition and national and international connectivity in the region .”
