London based data center specialist Virtus has signed a five year agreement with colocation company C4L Partner Network to host its cabinets at its two London data centers.

C4L will install two new dedicated pods which create up to 36 cabinets at a minimum of 108kW at each of Virtus’s London1 and London2 data centers in Enfield and Hayes.

The agreement means C4L will create the potential for an increase the density to in excess of 300kw per pod per year.

“Our scalable and cost effective offering means C4L will be able to grow flexibly and contiguously in line with its business needs,” said Darren Watkins, Virtus Data Centres’ sales director.

The deal means C4L now has access to over 100 UK data centers and over 300 globally.

Clients include government agencies, FTSE 250 companies, international financial institutions, system integrators and VARs and many of the UK's network carriers.

In June C4L opened a Point of Presence (PoP) at data center operator Volta’s carrier-neutral Great Sutton Street (GSS) facility in London – bringing its own fiber into the facility to expand its private fiber-optic 1 to 100Gb coreTX network.

In an exclusive interview with Datacenter Dynamics recently, Virtus’s director of product strategy Matthew Larbey said that data center infrastructure management (DCIM) will be its key to giving customers transparency over their virtual presence.
