VIRTUS Data Centres has achieved an average revenue growth of 66 per cent per annum since 2012, with 30 per cent of 2014 sales coming from existing customers expanding within VIRTUS’ facilities.


In Q4, VIRTUS Data Centres, London’s fastest growing data centre owner and operator, added another seven new customers across its LONDON1 and LONDON2 data centre estates in Enfield and Hayes.


VIRTUS’ new customers in Q4 include five new Cloud providers to the VIRTUS Cloud Connect ecosystem, a leading global asset management company, a professional services organisation, as well as expansion from two existing Cloud customers.


VIRTUS Data Centres is one of only four data centre operators in London to have achieved Tier III design certification from the Uptime Institute and the only one certified using Excool’s innovative, green and hyper efficient indirect adiabatic and evaporative fresh air cooling technology delivering a PUE of less than 1.2 and London’s lowest total cost of service. In addition, the VIRTUS Marketplace means VIRTUS customers have access to a growing ecosystem of connectivity, cloud and service providers.


Neil Cresswell, CEO, VIRTUS Data Centres, says: “We are very pleased with this continued growth across all business lines. It demonstrates the appeal of our new and innovative approach to data centre service delivery, which combines the best features of both the traditional wholesale and retail models from a single, pure play operator. Providing highly connected, secure and certified facilities in London, in a customer friendly, flexible and efficient model is enabling us to better meet the evolving IT needs of customers.”


Darren Watkins, Sales Director, VIRTUS Data Centres says: “We provide customers with tailored solutions utilising our modular design and leading edge technology combined with complete transparency and agile commercials. This unique approach to data centre service delivery is the reason why VIRTUS Data Centres has been referenced by leading analyst houses and why Kelly Morgan of 451 Research Group has said that ‘VIRTUS is one of the most innovative data centre providers around these days.”
