Stellium Datacentres, one of the UK’s fastest-growing colocation and network data centre providers in the North of England, has partnered with Schneider Electric, a leader in Digital Transformation of energy management and automation, to help it drive data centre resilience and efficiency. Stellium selected Schneider Electric’s Galaxy VM uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries to provide energy-efficient, resilient and sustainable power protection at its data centre in Newcastle.
Stellium’s location in Newcastle has emerged as a major UK connectivity hub and the meeting place for high-frequency data transfer across local, national and international borders. CBRE, for example, recently cited its 80MW (scalable to 180MW) colocation facility, as the largest in the North of England region – offering hyperscalers and enterprises a viable, alternative wholesale location compared to operators in London and the South of England.
Powered by REGO certified 100% renewable energy, Stellium provides Tier 3+ mission-critical infrastructure and diverse connectivity services for a multitude of businesses including FinTech and high-frequency trading, energy, healthcare and pharmaceutical research and public sector. The company also positions itself as the new Data Meridian – where East meets West in data transfer – being the UK’s only data centre landing station for the Altibox/NO-UK Nordic subsea cables and Aqua Comms North Sea Connect cable, as well as the home of the UK’s newest Internet Exchange Point, NCL-IX.
Stellium selected Schneider Electric’s Galaxy VM UPS due to its high levels of reliability, strong technical and energy efficiency capabilities and because the company’s sustainable approach to its product strategy matched Stellium’s approach to life cycle management.
