Solutions Ltd (MigSolv), colocation provider with a secure data centre in Norwich, UK, has agreed a partnership with Nimbus Data Systems, Inc., enabling them to
utilise the high environmental credentials of the MigSolv Norwich data centre,
The Gatehouse.
Nimbus Sustainable Storage is
intelligent solid state storage that cuts the power
requirements of traditional storage, (as low as 5 watts per TB), whilst
also reducing the overall footprint of the storage by a factor of up to 14 to
1.
MigSolvs, The Gatehouse, data centre was
designed and built around the EU Code of Conduct for Data Centre Efficiency and
was awarded under the Code in 2012, as well as winning a GreenLight award from
the EU JRC. The data centre utilises environmental technologies to
create an environment for IT equipment that is efficient, resilient and
secure.
Ed Renwick, UK country manager, identified
MigSolvs Norwich data centre as the facility to meet the needs of his
customers for security, resilience and for its environmental
credentials. The added benefit that MigSolv can provide installation and
support services to his customers made this the ideal choice as it gives
customers the confidence and assurance that their vital data is hosted in a
facility with the skills to support them and the environmental ethics to match
their own.
Jacob Barreth, sales director at MigSolv,
said:" The Nimbus flash storage systems
are a game changer in the enterprise storage industry. Consuming up to 80% less
energy than traditional spinning disk technologies will result in significantly
lower power charges for our customers. Our billing approach of only charging
for actual power used remains relatively unique in the world of co-location and,
if our customers are using 80% less energy for their storage, they will be
paying 80% less for their power. Its a win, win, situation. This combined with
the exceptional performance of the Nimbus flash storage will make our
proposition very attractive to our customers."
