Liverpool City Region Data Centres have today launched a new Micro Data Centre, located in Liverpool City Centre.

Strategically located within the Liverpool One shopping, residential, and leisure complex, this Micro Data Centre is an on-site facility for the local retailers & offices throughout the Grosvenor estate.

This Liverpool City Centre Colocation facility is ideal for retail, immersive, experienced-led and real-time applications that require data to be on-site, close-to and physically accessible with data access times of around 1-2 milliseconds.

The creation of this new data centre allows retailers to move important backend Point of Sale Systems from the shop floor and into our Data Centres, ultimately freeing up valuable retail space.

By using our existing 100Gbps fibre network that circles the estate, customers can extend their internal network from the store and into the Liverpool One Data Centre.

This can be done without losing functionally or having to create site-to-site VPN’s over the internet. In fact, no connection to the internet is required (with it being a simple point to point connection), which is ideal for helping with network security.

Available space for customers include Single U, Multi U and Quarter Rack options with low power density requirements for small servers, single board computers and similar appliances.

This Liverpool City Centre facility is ideal for edge nodes and low latency, immersive and real-time retail, financial and operational applications that require data to be closer to the end user.

Available space for customers include Single U, Multi U and Quarter Rack options with low power density requirements for small servers, single board computers and similar appliances.

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 enjoying super-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 streets away from their premises.

Baltic Broadband’s LCRDC 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, Artificial intelligence (AI), Media Streaming, Driverless Cars, Drone Deliveries, the Internet of Things, especially with such data centres being installed deep within local Communities.
