Rack sizing decisions are usually made on gut feel and get revisited within a year. Here is how to size a colocation deployment properly against U space, power draw and growth headroom.
UK GDPR and data sovereignty questions get harder to answer cleanly the more your infrastructure spans regions and jurisdictions. Here is why UK-based colocation simplifies that picture.
London gets picked by default for UK colocation, often on an outdated latency assumption. Here is a genuine comparison of London and regional UK data centres on latency, power and cost.
