Edge firm Pulsant has completed the construction of a £10 million ($13.6m) data hall at its data center in Milton Keynes, UK.

The new 1.2MW facility has been designed for high-density AI workloads, the company said.

Located at St Neots House on Rockingham Drive, Milton Keynes, it is the latest addition to Pulsant’s platformEDGE, which aims to meet the data center demands of businesses in sectors such as financial services, healthcare and biotech, and IT and gaming.

The company now has a network of 14 Edge data centers outside London, which connect into the key London markets of Slough and the Docklands with just two milliseconds of latency.

“The £10m expansion of our Milton Keynes data center is another big investment in our digital platform to meet hunger for high-density compute power,” said Rob Coupland, CEO at Pulsant. “UK digital infrastructure is facing unprecedented demand. With AI-ready capacity in short supply, bringing high performance, flexibility, and choice to regional locations is critical.

“For organizations looking for ultra-low latency, international connectivity, and UK sovereign compute power, Milton Keynes is a great option compared to constrained and costly London data centers, which lack the opportunity for expansion.”

Founded in 1995, Pulsant operates facilities across Edinburgh, Newcastle, Rotherham, Maidenhead, Reading, Manchester, Croydon, Birmingham, and Fareham, as well as Milton Keynes.

The company was established in 1995 as EdNET and later renamed to Lumison. Pulsant was then formed by Bridgepoint Development Capital in 2011 through the mergers of Lumison, Dedipower, and Bluesquare Data. Oak Hill acquired the company in 2014 for a reported £200 million ($273m), and again by Antin Infrastructure Partners in 2021.

In October, the company announced it had expanded its debt financing facility to £187m ($249.2m) to enable it to grow its network.
