Data centre operator Next Generation Data (NGD) has built out additional colocation space to meet channel demand and has launched an entry level all-in-one hosting solution.
The firm is close to completing an £8m data hall expansion project at NGD Europe, its M4 corridor data centre location.
This follows new business wins from a clutch of multinational companies as well as increased demand for more space from the company's Channel Partners.
NGD's Channel Partner business is expected to be boosted further by the launch of an entry level Data Cube solution designed for supporting smaller business users, offering resellers who are new to data hosting a straight forward, low cost route to adding new annuity revenue streams, claimed NGD.
Data Cube comprises a quarter server rack configuration, metered pay-as-you-go power supply and a range of high speed connectivity options.
"Our out-of-the box Data Cube hosting solution is for resellers looking to enter the hosting market, and rounds out our portfolio for more established reseller and SI data centre services providers looking to capture emerging market opportunities from smaller users," said Steve Davis, NGD's Marketing Director.
NGD's 750,000 sq ft facility was opened five and a half years ago and so far the company has invested £25m in the campus.
The latest £8m expansion project requires approximately 100 contractors on site to construct and fit-out the new self-contained halls which in total will allow a further 500 high density server racks to be accommodated.
To support the increased power requirements NGD is able to draw on its 180 MVA supply which is sourced directly from the National SuperGrid via an on-site sub-station.
The five new halls will be completed in the next six weeks and NGD expects the commencement of a further expansion phase by the end of this year.
