Cloud infrastructure provider Savvis has opened a new UK data centre in order to meet increasing demand for cloud and managed hosting services from Europe.

The site based in Slough is an addition to existing facilities which now account for a total square footage of 100,000. The new Savvis site is the sixth data centre situated in Europe with over 50 centres located around the globe.

Jeff Von Deylen, president of Savvis, said of the new site: “We have nearly doubled capacity in Slough to meet growing demand and give businesses in the region the services they need to grow”.
