CyrusOne is opening its first data center outside of the US in London.

The data center colocation provider has rights on a 10,000 sq ft facility property that will cater to N+N uninterruptible power supply with battery backup, cooling systems with a minimum of N+1 redundancy and access to multiple telecommunication providers including British Telecom, COLT, Easynet, Virgin Media, Abovenet, Verizon and Vtesse.

CyrusOne is headquartered in Houston, Texas, and has 17 facilities across the US. It is owned by Cincinnati Bell.

CEO David Ferdman said the expansion allows CyrusOne access to the European market.

“This expansion is in direct response to our customers’ growing demand and evolving requirements for colocation space, as well as some very attractive, growing market segments in Europe,” Ferdman said.

“As with all our other facilities, our London data center will offer state-of-the-art, raised floor space that adheres to the highest engineering design standards with focus on resiliencies and redundancies.”
