Vorboss is currently the single largest buyer of space within Volta Data Centres. It’s claimed this allows it to provide clients with sufficient rack space at competitive prices.

Volta Data Centres has joined forces with managed service and network provider Vorboss to provide an IaaS platform to customers in central London. 

It’s claimed the partnership is ideal for financial services companies across the capital that have extremely high reliability and availability expectations.

Vorboss acts as a network enabler and relies on its data centre partners to deliver high quality space that meets its demanding technical and compliance requirements. Through such partners, which now include Volta, it provides colocation, connectivity and managed services. 

According to Vorboss’ founder and CEO Timothy Creswick, historically, customers in the financial sectors have not had “much luck” when it comes to data centres. 

He adds that even when they get themselves an independent presence, they end up having to pay “nearly criminal rates” to have dedicated fibre connectivity or equivalent back from that data centre. 

Vorboss founder and CEO Timothy Creswick says financial firms have had to pay “nearly criminal rates” for data centre space.

“These companies were at a huge disadvantage in dealing with all of these different providers on their own, not to mention the logistical difficulties of managing all of the multiple relationships.

“Combining Volta’s high-quality data centre with Vorboss’ connectivity options allows us to eliminate these disadvantages for customers and let them choose the best data centre for their needs.”

Vorboss is currently the single largest buyer of space within Volta. It’s claimed this allows it to provide clients with sufficient rack space at competitive prices, with the potential for future growth.

Volta MD Jon Arnold points out that finding the right data centre is a business-critical decision for many companies, especially those in the financial sector. 

“They require a safe and secure environment from which the business-critical servers and hard drives that contain the applications and data can operate.” he says. “They require fast, uninterrupted data connections, a totally secure and reliable power supply, and buildings that offer the highest possible levels of security.”
