Status: Operational / Enterprise & Cloud Colocation Facility   |   Location: Slough Trading Estate, 631 Ajax Avenue, Slough, SL1 4DG, United Kingdom


Project Overview

Digital Realty LHR27 is a 4.5 MW critical IT load data center facility at 631 Ajax Avenue on the Slough Trading Estate in Slough, United Kingdom, providing scalable colocation infrastructure within the West London Availability Zone. The 85,000 sq ft facility includes more than 36,500 sq ft of technical whitespace, creating substantial deployment space for high-density enterprise environments, cloud nodes, and hybrid computing workloads. Integrated into Digital Realty’s global ecosystem, the site benefits from its position within the established Slough data center cluster and its connectivity to the wider London digital infrastructure market. LHR27 incorporates N+1 UPS and cooling redundancy, providing additional resilience across critical power and thermal systems and supporting continuous operation for business-critical workloads. Closed-loop evaporative cooling provides an efficient thermal management approach while supporting the facility’s requirements for high-density computing environments. The site is powered by 100% renewable grid power, providing an electricity supply strategy aligned with customer sustainability requirements and lower-carbon data center operations. Connectivity is supported through dual Meet-Me-Rooms, enabling customers to establish connections with multiple network providers and interconnection partners. Low-latency dark fiber interconnects provide direct access to Digital Realty’s primary London exchanges, supporting responsive connectivity for cloud services, enterprise networks, financial applications, and other data-intensive workloads. The combination of 4.5 MW of critical IT capacity, extensive technical whitespace, resilient electrical and cooling infrastructure, renewable grid power, and direct connectivity creates a flexible platform for organizations requiring scalable colocation. Its integration with Digital Realty’s broader London network ecosystem further supports access to regional and international digital infrastructure while maintaining the operational advantages of an established West London data center location.
