Custodian Data Centres has announced plans to build a new 10MW facility in Dartford, Kent. Known as DA2, the data centre will be located outside southeast London and is due to open in Q2 2022. Once all three phases of the build are completed, the 2,500 sqm (26,900 sq ft) facility will be designed to host up to 800 racks. “Uptime, digital security and energy efficiency are shaping the business environment,” said Rowland Kinch, CEO of Custodian Data Centres. “At Custodian, we believe that our service-first ethos offers a step-change for the data centre market, and that our new DA2 facility offers a competitive choice for organisations looking to step away from the crowded London Docklands. Founded in 2009, Custodian currently operates five data centres across London and southeast England, including one in a former TV studio.
