Plans for London’s largest data centre campus near Stockley Park, has been unveiled by VIRTUS Data Centres (www.virtusdatacentres.com).  The new site will be amongst the most advanced in the UK and create London’s largest data centre campus.  Establishing this new mega campus further strengthens VIRTUS’ position as the largest hybrid colocation provider in the London metro area.  The two buildings, on the secure eight-acre campus, total 34,475m2. Known as VIRTUS LONDON5 and LONDON6, are designed to deliver 40MW of IT load and have the secured power capacity to increase to 110MVA of incoming power from diverse grid connection points, future proofing expansion for customers.

As we move with our customers into an increasingly digital future, we help them deliver high performing applications and content. We provide fast, seamless connectivity to networks and public clouds, along with the capacity for vast data storage and compute processing power - all for lower costs.
