"This increased choice in floor space and power provides customers with a data centre that fits into any building for any type of application," said Bernard Geoghegan, Executive Vice President of Colt Data Centre Services.

Colt believes the new designs will allow its customers to mix and match in their data centres, with the possibility of hosting different power density and Tier configurations in the same facility. This could allow organisations to accommodate an effective private cloud infrastructure alongside conventional server and storage equipment.
