Anchor’s colocation requirements have been growing steadily over the past few years, so we’ve recently taken the plunge to significantly increase our total datacentre floor space which will allow for many new racks. At this point we’re in the early stages of fitting out the suite, so we thought it an ideal chance to give our readers some insight into the process of fitting out a data centre.

The plan is to produce a new blog post for each step; and, of course, take plenty of pretty pictures along the way!

You can see above a few of the shiny new extra-wide racks that have already been delivered. The keen-eyed might also be able to see the tape marking the locations of the first few racks to be powered up shortly, with the under-floor power installation happening right now. The suite’s cage will be going in real soon now.
