The 2nd site based in Reading, has provided an additional 60,000 square feet of inventory, located in the heart of the Thames Valley, to support Memset’s provision of cloud services to the UK government, including services procured via the Digital Marketplace, to which Memset is an approved SME supplier.

Phase 1 of the build-out has been successfully finished, which has included the installation of 750 cabinets supported by N+1 cooling, redundant UPS systems and N+1 generators.

Recently subjected to rigorous ITHCs and penetration tests, the site has been accredited to OFFICIAL impact level and able to provide a suitably high level of security for handling government data, and a requirement for use of cloud services by a number of government departments.

Cross-site vLan capabilities between the Reading site and Memset’s high security Dunsfold site will not only provide customers with dual-site capabilities, but increased resilience, disaster recovery and performance.

As well as security, green business is important, so the site is designed for ultra-efficiency, leveraging air-side economisers and a hot air containment system that enables the outside climate to cool the data centre for the majority of the year and drawing on local renewable energy supplies to power the facility.

Ed Butler, Managing Director from Everest whose team has worked with Memset to get the facility accredited said: “We are delighted to bring our technology to the UK Government’s G-Cloud initiative and help support Memset address the increasing demand for IaaS requirements.”
