Proximity acquires regional Edge data centre in Swindon

Proximity Data Centres, one of the UK’s fastest growing regional edge colocation data centre providers, has announced the addition of a further site. Located in Swindon, the 89,000 sqft facility provides capacity for up to 2,000 racks.

With excellent road and rail infrastructure and easy access to digital fibre routes connecting London to Ireland and the USA, Proximity’s latest Tier 3 facility – Proximity Edge7 – is ideally positioned to serve businesses along and near to the M4 corridor. This includes the congested data centre conurbations of Slough and West London. It is also highly accessible to the major R&D hub at Harwell which is home to numerous research organisations in biotech, genome and space-tech. 

“Our new Swindon Edge data centre offers enterprise, research, content and cloud service provider organisations a compelling proposition,” said John Hall, Managing Director, Colocation, Proximity Data Centres.    

The company expects to have 20 sites available within the next 12 months, all in proximity to major conurbation areas. This allows customers to ensure low latency and optimised data transit costs, in line with their growing requirements to maximise competitive advantage by moving data, applications and content closer to users.
