Colt, Europe's leading information delivery platform, has won the Data Centre 2012 Awards for its Modular Data Centre Solution. The award win recognises Colt's innovative leadership and revolutionary approach to building data centres which redefines the method of construction and delivery of large, energy efficient data centres. "We are extremely proud of this award win which recognises our commitment to improving the modular design approach and enabling our customers to build data centres that better align to their business demands," said Bernard Geoghegan, Executive Vice President, Colt Data Centre Services. "Our modular approach gives control back to customers, allowing them to build out their data centres incrementally while reducing the risks associated with having to forecast for future capacity needs way in advance."

Colt, Europe's leading information delivery platform, has been awarded the Uptime Institute's Management & Operations (M&O) Stamp of Approval for its London 3 site. Colt is the first data centre operator in Europe to be accredited, demonstrating its leadership in the industry.

Julian Kudritzki, Vice President at the Uptime Institute commented, "Colt's M&O approved London 3 site management not only deserves congratulations, but reinforces Colt's commitment to excellence in operations."

The Institute's M&O Stamp of Approval validates that Colt's facility satisfies industry-recognised criteria. This criteria is deemed essential to achieve full uptime potential, obtain maximum leverage of the installed infrastructure and design, improve the efficiency of operations and realise opportunities for energy efficiency.
