UK Grid at Data Centre World 2010
This year UK Grid exhibited at DC World, stand 212, in London's Barbican Centre. UK Grids CEO Rob Garbutt was in attendance alongside Peter Casey and Dipak Haveliwala also from the UK Grid team. The event was a great success for UK Grid and we managed to meet a lot of our current suppliers, meet some new potential suppliers and a few of our customers were there too during the two day event.
Data Centre World is the largest gathering of data centre professionals in the UK and the conference itself had over 32 sessions presented by leading industry experts. Copies of these presentations will be posted online at the link below.

UK Grid has introduced an offer for March only which includes a 48 RU rack in Synergy House with 5 Amps, 10 Mbps of TINET transit and a 100 Mbps Long Reach Ethernet connection from Telehouse North to Synergy House.
This deal is aimed at companies looking for a DR site away from London and starts from just £550.00 pounds per month plus setup fees.

UK Grid can also connect customers from Telehouse North to any other major DC location in London and/or office locations using it's new managed Ethernet product.
