The facility is in need of modernisation and Switch is set to upgrade the datacentre in terms of cooling, power capacity and efficiency, so that a power usage efficiency factor of less than 1.1 is achieved, datacentres.com reported.
The new site will be linked with Switch’s existing data centre in Amsterdam.
"The acquisition of this Tier3 + built datacentre is an important addition to the product range of Switch Datacenters" Gregor Snip, founder and director of Switch Datacenters Group, was quoted as saying by the publication.
