Why The Bunker2?
Protect against the UK Internets’ single point of failure.
London is the second largest Internet Exchange in the world. Unfortunately London is also one of the highest risk cities in the world.
The Bunker2 is a Carrier Neutral Data Centre, situated at a strategically important location on the cross roads of the main Internet fibre routes leaving the UK towards Europe, Asia and the USA. For our clients this affords peace of mind that traffic can be routed via the traditional channels across London, however in the event of a catastrophe, disabling the main Internet hubs in the London Docklands and the City, traffic can still route to any location in the world via the main Internet exchanges in Europe.

Partnership discussions
We are currently in discussion with a number of partners for this project and keen to talk to more. We are talking to organisations of substance, many with experience of building DC’s, although not all, many interested in occupying a module but all seeking a long term value sharing involvement in the project.
