Equinix (LD9)
Located at Unit 1, Volt Avenue in London, this Equinix facility is a premier hub for digital infrastructure. The site features a fully built out whitespace spanning 8,728 square meters across two floors. It offers a highly flexible colocation environment, accommodating everything from shared rackspace and partial cabinets to full cabinets, private cages, and custom suites to meet diverse enterprise needs.
Power Infrastructure and Reliability
The data center is engineered for high density computing, supporting a maximum power of 20 kW per rack. To ensure uninterrupted operations, the facility employs a 2N UPS redundancy configuration, providing two independent power paths to all equipment. Standby power is further secured by an N+1 redundancy model, ensuring that backup generators can handle the full load even if a primary unit fails.
Cooling and Environmental Controls
To maintain optimal hardware performance, the facility utilizes an N+1 cooling redundancy system. This setup ensures that climate control remains consistent even during equipment maintenance or failure. The infrastructure is built upon a raised floor system with a significant max floor load of 1,250 kg per square meter, allowing for the installation of heavy, high density server racks without compromising structural integrity.
Compliance and Quality Standards
This location is one of the most highly regulated and certified facilities in the region, meeting a vast array of international standards. It holds ISO certifications for security 27001, quality 9001, environmental management 14001, and energy management 50001, among others. Additionally, it is PCI DSS compliant for secure financial transactions and maintains SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II reports to verify its operational controls.
Security and Access Control
Security is managed through a multi layered approach that begins at the perimeter and extends to the individual rack. The facility is protected by 24/7 onsite security staff and monitored via comprehensive CCTV surveillance. Physical entry is strictly controlled through mantrap entries, biometric access scanners, and card access controls, ensuring that only authorized personnel can enter sensitive data areas.
Fire Suppression and Safety
To mitigate the risk of fire, the data center is equipped with a double knock activation system to prevent accidental discharge. It utilizes a high sensitivity smoke detection system paired with a HI FOG water mist suppression system. This sophisticated setup is designed to detect and extinguish potential fires rapidly while minimizing collateral damage to sensitive electronic equipment.
Connectivity and Onsite Amenities
As a major connectivity nexus, the site hosts two Internet Exchange Points and provides access to 33 peering networks. While focusing on technical excellence, the facility also provides essential amenities for visiting engineers, including 24/7 onsite technical support Remote Hands, a conference room, breakroom, WiFi, and free adjacent parking.
