Another dot on London map

Datacentre provider Digital Realty now has a footprint of over one million square feet in London, after it cut the ribbon on a 131,771 square foot facility in the capital last Thursday.

The Tier 3 facility in Chessington, Surrey, is a 7.2MW datacentre with five 10,000 square foot data halls. Two of the five data halls are currently available to lease, while the remaining three halls are still being completed and are due to come online this year. The site is unusual in that it also contains three floors of office space so businesses can be close to their servers. 

While one million square feet might sound a lot, it's still only a small proportion of Digital Realty's datacentre estate, which is over 22 million square feet. 

Digital Realty's current list of customers are spread across 32 countries.
