Colt Data Centre Services’ Welwyn Garden City recertified with M&O accreditation

Colt Data Centre Services’ flagship London North data centre facility, in Welwyn Garden City, has been recertified with a Management and Operations (M&O) accreditation stamp of approval.

The M&O stamp of approval validates the critical facilities management and operations practices of a fully functioning data centre. It is a stand-alone assessment that covers:

 

  • Day-to-day operating activities including an audit of daily operations and an assessment of staffing levels & competencies
  • Upstream planning and decision-making
  • Full life cycle asset management

 

Colt DCS exhibited high standards of management and operations at the London North hyper-scale facility with staff and management working collaboratively across functions with incumbent maintenance partners.

 

Colt DCS was initially awarded the highest global score for the M&O accreditation in 2012. Since then, Colt DCS has retained a high score – a true testament to the high standards it is operating at this hyper-scale facility.

 

London North data centre is Colt DCS’ flagship data centre here in the UK. In September 2018, it was announced that six new data halls were to be built at the data centre as part of the first phase of a major expansion project at the site which will comprise in total 10 new data halls.

 

In addition, a major power upgrade is underway that will see the site almost double its utility power, by adding an additional 30 megawatts (MW). The delivery of the first two halls is expected in the coming months and remainder being delivered in Q2 2019. On completion, the project will bring the total IT power supply to more than 40MW.
