As the beating heart of business, data centres store and process the information that keeps UK Plc afloat.
At a secret location north of London, telecommunications company Colt lifted the lid on what it takes to build these powerhouses of industry.
The former supermarket warehouse is being fitted with a double-skin and will house eight data halls inside its cavernous 8,600 square metre interior.
The first two data halls, seen here, will be complete in September, its quick-build modular design allows it to be complete in just months.
