Secure and resilient network infrastructure for Ark Data Centres

Ark Data Centres builds and operates highly secure and efficient data centres across the UK and Europe. Ark’s locations are specifically chosen to be well connected. Offering services from cloud to campuswide connectivity, Ark relies on robust and secure network infrastructure to ensure maximum uptime, business continuity and 24/7/365 connectivity.

Today's data-centric culture requires robust and resilient high performance network infrastructure. Ark Data Centres sought a trusted and experienced supplier that could deliver infrastructure services, smart hands and support necessary to meet their immediate needs, while also providing scalability for future growth.

Leveraging North’s end-to-end technical expertise in data centre infrastructure design, deployment and operations.

Working collaboratively with Ark, North designed and delivered robust network cabling infrastructures across three core data centre sites in the South of England, with the network infrastructure for a further two sites set to be delivered as Ark expands its operations in 2024 and beyond.

North is a trusted supplier to Ark, delivering end-to-end services, from intelligent design and delivery to the ongoing support of its network infrastructure and structured cabling solutions.

As Ark’s needs grow and evolve, North’s flexible approach and understanding of the complexity of accommodating growth with minimal disruption has been critical to build a scalable foundation for growth and supporting technological advancements.

North’s dedicated data centre team has developed a close working relationship with Ark. Providing on-site support across multiple sites, the team delivers responsive design, project management, and installation services for structured cabling solutions, along with technical support and guidance. In support of Ark’s ongoing growth plans and ensuring said support is available when needed, North has set up a flex and scale approach, to ensure continuity and connectivity.

Furthermore, by deploying smart management software, North has enabled Ark to manage its BAU and Project works more efficiently. This enables the Ark team to analyse trends over time, leading to enhanced reporting, informed decisionmaking, and significant time and cost savings.
