London (LHR1) Data Center Campus

Vantage’s LHR1 London data center campus will feature the most state-of-the-art electrical equipment to ensure maximum efficiency and reliability. The campus will offer N+1 redundancy across all systems, all supported by a world-class in-house operations team ensuring customer uptime.

• HV substation of 110MVA, including 80MVA dedicated to support LHR1
• Power provided by National Grid, the region’s leading energy provider
• Multiple, diverse power feeds supporting the campus
• 400V electrical configuration
• All systems 100% concurrently maintainable

Vantage’s LHR1 London data center campus will use a highly efficient closed-loop chilled water system generated through air-cooled chillers. The cooling system also includes an integrated economizer capability that allows reduced compressor energy based on outside ambient temperature, so when weather is favorable, cooling becomes more sustainable and less resource intensive.

• N+1 overall, N+2 component-level redundancy across mechanical systems
• Computer Room Air Handling (CRAH) units located in two galleries on opposite sides of each data module allow for highly efficient airflow distribution
• Closed-loop chilled water system with air-side economizers
• Water Utilization Efficiency (WUE) is near zero (liters/kW/hr) using the latest cooling design

LHR1 will offer multiple, diverse fiber pathways into the campus with access to both dark and lit fiber. The campus will be carrier neutral, giving you the flexibility to manage your own network.

• Two meet-me-rooms (MMRs) for each data center on campus, allowing for diverse paths and multiple connectivity options
• Four points-of-entry (POEs) for the campus, ensuring maximum path diversity for inbound carriers
• Diverse fiber pathways into the campus (minimum 2 paths per carrier)

Stringent security and safety measures are hallmarks of every Vantage campus. Our LHR1 London data center campus is no exception, so you can rest easy when it comes to the security of your digital assets.

• On-site security operations center with patrols 24x7x365
• CCTV on all access control points throughout the entire campus
• Dual authentication for customer and critical infrastructure areas
• Visitor Management System with controlled and monitored access points and stringent access control policy

A space where your employees can work efficiently, as well as relax and recharge, is essential. To provide that superior customer environment, our LHR1 London data center campus will offer dedicated office space, conference rooms and large-scale break room facilities with food, games, entertainment and more.

• Customizable offices and workspaces dedicated to individual customers
• Secure storage with easy access between data modules
• Multiple conference rooms and meeting spaces throughout the campus

Vantage Data Centers builds and operates our campuses in ways that prioritize sustainability and environmental responsibility, all while delivering the reliability that is our hallmark. Our baseline approach includes using renewable energy whenever possible, limiting carbon footprints, and maintaining energy efficient operations with industry-leading PUEs. We’re committed to reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2030, both by reductions in the emissions we control directly, as well as those in our supply chain we can influence. Our LHR1 London data center campus will deliver on this promise.

• Hyper-efficient cooling with outside air economization using minimal water
• Small things that add up over time: recycling, motion-sensor LED lights, drought-resistant landscaping and more
