In May 2008 Cantono announced the first of a new generation of data-centres. Cantono has been providing managed services since 1996, and opened its first data-centre in January 2000.
As of June 2008, £1.9 million worth of orders had been confirmed from three clients, for terms of between 3 years and 10 years.
In July 2008 cantono announced that it had already secured 15MW power for the new data centre.
The new data centre provides major capacity both for colocation and for managed services. This is built upon enviable levels of reliability, security and flexibility while maintaining standards of greenness along with highly attractive pricing. Here’s how:
Standards and architecture
The data centre uses a multi tiered architecture which allows the client to select the level of service that they require. The design, using IBM’s unique modular architecture, allows clients to upgrade to Tier 4 in certain key areas, with added security, fire protection, etc. Read more>
Capacity and power
At 80,000 square feet, the data centre is equivalent to more than one fiftieth of all projected UK demand for data centre space. It is fed by two separate 10 megawatt power supplies, allowing all of the data centre capacity to be utilised, as well as providing greater security. Read more>
Service – experience and flexibility
Cantono can provide a breadth of service, from pure colocation, where you run your own equipment, to a fully managed service. We can do this drawing on our many years experience both in running data centres and in providing fully managed services. You can also provide your own communications or link into our network.

Pricing security
The location of our newest data centre allows us to beat London and “M25 belt” prices while offering excellent access links via our network. By providing sufficient power for a fully utilised site, we ensure that you get full value for the capacity that you purchase, while you can also ‘peg’ prices for up to 10 years. Read more>
