A look behind the doors
Real photographs from our Cambridge data centre — clean, contained, and purpose-built for production-grade colocation.
From a single 1U to a full 42U cabinet
Predictable monthly pricing across every size — start small and scale into a full rack at your own pace. All tiers include power, bandwidth, IPs and our 600Gbps Corero DDoS shield.
Full 42U cabinet, dual 32A A+B feeds, 10Gbps port, 1Gbps unmetered, /29 IPv4.
Indicative starting prices. Final quote depends on power draw, bandwidth and contract length. VAT not included.
Transparent, predictable pricing
Power is often the single largest operational cost in colocation, so it pays to size it accurately. Use our power calculator to estimate your draw and the true monthly cost — including cooling, UPS and generator overhead.
- Per-Amp capacity-based billing
- Reserved N+1 UPS and generator capacity
- All-in cost: energy + cooling + UPS + generator
Prices shown are for guidance only — contact us for tailored quotes, volume discounts or large-scale requirements.
Why we bill per Amp
We specialise in hosting "monster" hardware — like the Dell PowerEdge XE9680 and NVIDIA HGX systems — that demands far more power and cooling than standard web servers. To deliver the right environment for these machines, we use a capacity-based (per-Amp) billing model. It's the gold standard for AI and enterprise infrastructure.
Guaranteed capacity & reliability
To support a 12.5kW peak load, we lock away that specific capacity across our entire infrastructure — including our N+1 parallel UPS configuration, onsite JCB backup generators and power distribution systems. That overhead is reserved exclusively for your rack 24/7, so when your GPUs hit 100% load the power is physically there and ready to be drawn without risk.
Specialised high-density cooling
AI servers generate immense heat. Our facility uses 4× high-efficiency Stulz precision cooling units and hot-aisle containment to deliver 80kW of cooling capacity. Billing per Amp bundles the electricity with the cooling effort required to keep your hardware at a consistent 20°C — preventing thermal throttling and protecting your investment.
Predictable budgeting — no bill shock
AI training workloads are often bursty, which can lead to unpredictable utility bills under standard metered models. Our per-Amp model provides a fixed monthly cost based on the power bracket you fall into — giving finance total budget certainty regardless of how many compute-intensive hours you run.
Transparent pricing tools
Use our power calculator above to model your draw in real time and see the all-in monthly cost — energy plus cooling, UPS and generator overhead. We also monitor live usage via networked APC PDUs, so when your workloads approach your current limit we simply move you to the next Amp bracket. No complex utility math, just transparent tier-based scaling.
