You may have heard the news about the ‘smart energy’ revolution that the national grid has recently discussed, whereby consumers can adjust their energy consumption to use energy when its cheapest.
This scalable, pay-for-what-you-use model is becoming more and more popular for many consumers across industries, including the data centre sector. Flexible options that consider the consumers’ usage habits and place them at the heart of their interaction with the product are being adopted increasingly frequently.
The resulting reduction in cost is one reason for this – customers, whether they’re using electricity to store their data or energy to power their homes, obviously don’t want be paying for what they don’t use. However, another large part of this revolution stems from the providers themselves, who want to provide not just great customer experience, but a service that is friendly to the environment.
Here at LDeX, we’re very proud to be carbon neutral, and we always aim to help clients to reach their environmental impact targets with our services. Our data centres are powered by 100% renewable energy sources and use maximum efficiency cooling systems in order to avoid downtime whilst minimising energy waste.
With the rise of smart energy, we’re seeing businesses and consumers alike putting greener thinking at the heart of their product choices – a trend that we hope will continue to grow.

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.”
