Back in early 2022 we reported on the impact of major data centre closures to UK full fibre broadband ISPs and other operators, which included mention of Equinix<\/a>‘s plan to close their MA2 IBX<\/a> data centre in Manchester by June 2023 (here<\/a>). The good news today is that Lunar Digital<\/a> has saved the data centre from its fate.<\/p>\n

The reality is that end-users rarely notice the impact of data centre closures because network operators – of various different types – simply have little choice but to stomach the surprise expense and move their links into a different building. The data centre operator will often do this automatically for some customers, such as managed clients, but others will not enjoy having such an unwanted additional headache to contend with.<\/p>\n

At the time, Equinix informed its customers that they had been evaluating their “real estate portfolio<\/em>“, which included “determining which assets are strategic to our business \u2026 and the cost\/benefit analysis of continuing to operate specific sites<\/em>” (i.e. the impact of rising lease and power costs etc.). As a result, the firm ultimately concluded that MA2<\/strong> “no longer meets our criteria for continued operation<\/em>“, although specifics were in short supply.<\/p>\n

The good news is that Lunar Digital, a UK based data centre and managed services provider, recently embarked on a new venture in the Manchester data centre industry and have just completed on the acquisition of the Equinix facility in Manchester, now “formerly known<\/em>” as MA2.<\/p>\n

The acquisition of the 22,500sq ft 3MVA (expansion to 4MVA) facility is being seen as highly strategic for Lunar Digital and will bolster their data centre footprint in the UK. The business also has an existing Tier3 European facility in Norway.<\/p>\n

Robin Garbutt, Lunar Digital Group CEO, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We\u2019re very excited to announce that we\u2019ve completed the acquisition of the Equinix data centre in Reynolds House. The acquisition will ensure client colocation capacity in the most highly demanded markets within the UK. The demand for premium data centre capacity in Manchester continues to be highlighted and we are proud to be playing our part in supporting its continued growth.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The operator added that they will be able to offer services immediately within the facility, providing “stability and peace of mind to existing clients<\/em>” who had previously been informed that the site was due to close (we suspect some of them may have already moved).<\/p>\n

The acquisition will also add notable additional capacity to Lunar Digital\u2019s current data centre network, allowing them to strengthen their private and virtual cloud solutions. In terms of the old MA2 name, the facility will now be rebranded as Lunar1<\/strong> & Lunar2<\/strong>, due to the fact there are two self-contained facilities within the site, offering highly connected, carrier neutral data centre capabilities in Manchester.<\/p>\n

We should point out that there’s a lot of demand for data centres in this market, thus closures are often less about a lack of demand and more about ensuring the most cost-effective approach to take in a competitive market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
