Government Support for Bunker Initiatives
The Bunker Secure Hosting Ltd, provider of Ultra* Secure Data Centres and Managed Services was pleased to welcome Dr Stephen Ladyman MP to showcase its data centre expansion plans.
Dr Stephen Ladyman MP for Thanet South and vice Chairman of the Labour Party was invited to visit The Bunker for a tour of the facility and to discuss future expansion plans for the soon to be developed top site data centre expansion; The Bunker2.
The Bunker is expanding its Kent operations in response to increased demand for its services and The Bunker2 will maintain the highest standards set by The Bunker by blending state of the art monitoring & evaluation infrastructure with military grade security. The new data centre facility provides an alternative highly secure, low risk Internet hub outside London, servicing clients who wish to establish systems in the UK, but who also require access to the world wide web without entering the high risk London zones.
State of the art and military grade The Bunker2 offers 14,000m2 of Tier 3 data floor within the existing defences of The Bunker’s facility, along with 2,000m2 of office and support accommodation. Staffed 24/7/365 by security and technical personnel, the development will be of a modular low profile design, cut into the landscape with a grass roof. Each module of 2,200m2 blends into the surrounding environment with minimum visual impact.
Peregrine Newton, CEO at The Bunker commented, “It was a privilege meeting with Dr Ladyman and showing him The Bunker’s plans for the The Bunker2 data centre extension. Dr Ladyman understood our vision and offered his support to the venture, suggesting ways in which The Bunker could maximise its services while being sympathetic to the local population.”
Dr Stephen Ladyman, MP for Thanet South, commented “I think this place is a truly world class operation. It was a unique opportunity to build something like this here and it’s triumphed. You don’t find many facilities that are secure from nuclear and biological attack, or indeed many places in the world which can match this, and it’s great that they are expanding. I think it’s a facility we should be proud of. If companies like The Bunker can also bring high speed internet connectivity into the area then it will benefit businesses and individuals alike in the South East.”
