New Coventry Datacentre Announcement
Fraction Servers, a leading low cost dedicated server provider in the UK for SMEs, cloud, cyber security and digital media organisations has announced plans to bring online a new 3 megawatt datacentre in Coventry, UK.
The new facility, Continuity House will be located to the west of Coventry a short distance from the company’s existing datacentre facility. Construction of the new facility is underway and is expected to reach completion in Q2 2022 with an initial build out of 300 racks in the first data hall.
“Our new facility has been designed to deliver the highest level of uptime and redundancy to our customers.” said David Howes, Technical Director at Fraction Servers. “The global pandemic has pushed businesses to re-evaluate their use of technology and cloud services outside of the workplace and it has become vital to ensure they use a service provider that operates from a secure, resilient managed datacentre. Continuity House will be connected with diverse dark fibre to our exsisting Coventry datacentre and also connecting to Telehouse and Equinix sites in both London and Manchester allowing us to offer customers upto 100Gb/s connectivity onsite”
Technical Specifications
Fraction Servers is trusted by many large digital entertainment and cloud service providers and in a world where focus is increasing on environmental sustainability the new site has been designed to utilise the latest hyper-efficient green technologies.

The new site is being built to a specification that exceeds Tier III design standards and will ensure ultra high availability of power, cooling and network services to all customers. Power to the site is being provided by diverse high voltage electrical supplies with 2N+1 transformers situated within dedicated isolated switchgear buildings.”
