Data center services provider Pulsant has acquired a data center in Manchester, U.K., from M247.
“The acquisition of such a well-established and high-quality facility is an important step in our strategy to bring the benefits of edge computing to every business across the United Kingdom,” said Rob Coupland, CEO at Pulsant.
Located in one of the fastest growing tech hubs in the United Kingdom and Europe, the acquisition supports Pulsant’s strategy of geographic expansion, enabling the company to extend its edge platform to the city and the North-West.
Situated within a secure compound in central Manchester, the 6,500-square-foot data center provides power capacity of about 1 megawatt, with further investment planned to expand and upgrade the facility. The location complements Pulsant’s existing network of strategically located data centers, offering good transport links and connectivity, including a LINX Manchester point of presence (PoP) on site.
