Only a year since we opened our first Manchester-based data centre, we’re delighted to announce that due to continued growth and an uptick in customer demand, we are doubling capacity at our data centre campus in Trafford Park.
The new 20,000 sq. ft. site will house network carriers and global Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), with customers benefitting from support provided by our expert technicians, 24/7, 365 days a year. The state-of-the-art facility will also offer best-in-class carrier neutral colocation, network connectivity and streaming media satellite services to a large array of clients in the UK, Europe and the USA.
Commenting on the expansion plans, Rob Garbutt, CEO of LDeX Group, had this to say: “Doubling capacity within a year is a great achievement and I’m proud to say we’ve hit this goal significantly quicker than we anticipated. I put it down to our fantastic team offering outstanding customer service to our customers in many different time zones with often complex problems that we are able to resolve.”
“We have gone from strength to strength since we established in 2011 and this expansion underlines the fact that there is real demand for colocation and data centre services in the region. I’m looking forward to providing great service to even more organisations in the North West and beyond.”
Located a short distance from the M60 and M602 motorways, our northern data centres provide great local connections and a gateway to the North and South. They are also easily accessible to Manchester Airport. If you’re interested in seeing the space, book a tour here.

Colocation data centre provider LDeX Group has doubled its capacity at its LDeX2 data centre campus in Trafford Park, following continued growth and an uptick in customer demand.
The new 20,000 sq. ft. site, next door to LDeX’s current data centre, will house network carriers and global Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), with customers benefitting from support by expert technicians 365 days a year. The state-of-the-art facility will also offer best-in-class carrier neutral colocation, network connectivity and streaming media satellite services to a large array of clients in the UK, Europe and the USA.
Rob Garbutt CEO of LDeX Group, said: “Doubling capacity within a year is a great achievement and I’m proud to say we’ve hit this goal significantly quicker than we anticipated. I put it down to our fantastic team offering outstanding customer service to our customers in many different time zones with often complex problems that we are able to resolve.”
“We have gone from strength to strength since we established in 2011 and this expansion underlines the fact that there is real demand for colocation and data centre services in the region. I’m looking forward to providing great service to even more organisations in the North West and beyond.”
LDeX Group owners Rob Garbutt and Patrick Doyle founded the company in London following the successful sale of their previous organisation, Manchester-based UK Grid Group, to Telecity Group plc in September 2011. Inspired by the region’s burgeoning technology scene and armed with a wealth of knowledge of the local data centre market, the pair opened LDeX’s first Manchester-based data centre in July last year.
Garbutt continued: “We know all about Manchester’s rich history in innovation and the substantial talent pool. We were confident we’d find success here – just like we did with UK Grid – and we’ve been working incredibly hard since we opened our first Manchester data centre just over a year ago.
“As a company that also operates in London, we are incredibly optimistic about the potential of the northern economies. We fully support the Northern Powerhouse initiative, but it’s time to stop the rhetoric and focus instead on action. We hope our investment here acts as a ringing endorsement for the region’s technology credentials.”

Many businesses now rely entirely upon their stored data for day to day functioning. This is why it’s crucial to ensure it can easily be recovered if anything goes wrong. That’s where our Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform comes in. Far from just a transient acronym, it’s here to stay, and its more important than ever.
We’ve had enough experience to understand just how valuable data can be. But while more data is created every day, the threats to it are also increasing. From the rise of BYOD to ransomware and natural disasters, corporate data is often in the firing line.
It’s important for organisations to know that they can recover their data in any situation – whether it’s a network-wide disaster, or an accidental loss of data from a single device. It needs to be an efficient and easy process, and one that secures the entire system, from the endpoint to the network.
We recognise this, which is why we’ve launched our Backup-as-a-Service platform, powered by Asigra’s converged data protection platform. Asigra Cloud Backup™ offers an incredibly flexible solution, as it can be tailored to physical or virtual environments, as well as the hybrid, private or public cloud. It’s one integrated system that offers peace of mind for businesses.
As part of our launch of BaaS, we have invested in Asigra training for our team. Our latest engineers to become Asigra certified are Andy Smith and Zak Hilton, meaning that they are now qualified to manage Asigra Cloud Backup™ in our data centre environments, as well as creating and using backup sets and deploying physical and virtual DS-Systems.
We’re serious about keeping data safe, and provide the best training for our employees, so that you feel confident about putting your data into our hands.
