Baltic Broadband have today launched Liverpool City Region Data Centres (LCRDC) as a separate brand to it’s Broadband business. Previously, offering Data Centre space had been a service that has enhanced customers digital connectivity by allowing them to move their IT hardware outside of their office and into a Data Centre within the Liverpool City Region, while still being connected at LAN speeds and low latency.
Over the last 2 years, the demand for Data Centre space has risen, especially with the high costs of the cloud, more and more businesses are now looking at what they can do to keep their data local to their operations, quite often, just a few street away from their premises.
Baltic is growing it’s data centres substantially this coming year and has plans to offer multiple small scale Data Centres that will provide Edge & Micro Colocation across Liverpool, Sefton, Knowsley, St Helen’s, Halton & the Wirral. These new generation of small scale data centres will help enable 5G applications, Media Streaming, Driverless Cars, Drone Deliveries, the Internet of Things, especially with such data centres being installed deep within Communities.
