Abundant electrical power to the data floors allows much higher server density than a traditional facility, increasing efficiencies for colocation customers and supporting Star's roadmap for delivery of the high-end virtualisation platforms required for true Cloud Computing services.
Colocation customers can now draw up to 7kW power per rack, meaning Star Data Centre 3 is up to 4.6 times denser than a conventional data centre facility. Your business can now fully embrace virtualisation technologies and install more demanding hardware such as blade centres and PBXs without the power and cooling constraints of conventional data centre facilities. No longer do you have to pay for dead space in your racks and can at last consolidate your data centre footprint into a smaller number of racks.
Star colocation services are supplied complete with resilient connections to the internet. These can be scaled up to meet your growing needs and are supplied free by Star, the UK's largest independent provider of business connectivity.
Intelligent IBM Tivoli management modules allow precise measurement of power consumption by rack and facilitates accurate power billing, meaning you only pay for what you use.
