Proximity Data Centres has opened its tenth edge colocation data centre in the UK – Proximity Milton Keynes Edge 10.

The facility is built to Tier III standards and comprises 48,000 sqft offering 3MW of power capacity.

Located in Milton Keynes, the site will service central England, as part of Proximity’s strategy to provide a network of regional edge data centres to meet the digital needs of the population outside of London.

John Hall, Managing Director, Colocation at Proximity Data Centres said, “Proximity Milton Keynes Edge 10 is ideally located for the many businesses in central England looking for secure, scalable colocation services combined with high speed low latency connectivity to meet the needs of increasingly demanding users and applications. The region also has a rapidly expanding technology sector and Edge 10 is ideally positioned to support this important market.

“Edge 10 is an important milestone for Proximity as we are now well on the way to establishing a truly UK-wide edge data centre footprint capable of reaching 95% of the population. We plan to have a further ten sites available within the next 12 to 18 months.”
