High resilience Midlands colocation designed for Disaster Recovery, hybrid cloud and cost efficient growth
Redundancy across paired data centres in Telford and Newport, with additional capacity at our Newark-on-Trent facility. Tier 3 infrastructure within easy reach of the UK's industrial heartland.
Why Digital Space Colocation
Digital Space brings together resilient Midlands data centres, hybrid cloud expertise, and 24/7 UK based support to give organisations a smarter, more cost‑efficient way to run critical infrastructure. Our approach is built around three things that matter most: resilience, performance and partnership.
Midlands-based resilience
Dual-site Telford and Newport facilities deliver true geographic separation from London, ideal for DR, failover and compliance.
Hybrid cloud integration
Seamless connectivity into public cloud, private cloud and managed services, enabling modern architectures without complexity.
Transparent, predictable pricing
No London premiums, no hidden uplifts, and stable long-term power costs.
High-performance connectivity
Diverse carriers, dark fibre and low-latency routes to London, Manchester and the North.
Operational excellence
24/7 UK-based engineers, rapid response SLAs and proactive monitoring keep your environment running smoothly.
A partner, not just a provider
We design, support and evolve your environment with you, from colocation to cloud to full digital transformation.
BUILT FOR BUSINESS CONTINUITY
Multi-Site Disaster Recovery by Design
Digital Space operates three UK data centres in Telford, Newport, and Newark-on-Trent, delivering resilient colocation infrastructure for organisations that cannot tolerate downtime.
Our facilities in Telford and Newport are designed to operate as a paired resilience architecture, providing geographic separation and failover capabilities for disaster recovery environments.
This means your infrastructure can remain available even in the event of a site-level disruption.
Our Multi-Site Architecture Delivers
- Automatic failover protection across geographically separated facilities
- N+1 redundancy on power and cooling systems
- Multi-path network connectivity with diverse carrier entry points
- No single points of failure across critical infrastructure
- Dark fibre link between Telford and Newport sites
- 99.9%+ uptime SLA backed by proven enterprise infrastructure
Why This Matters
For many organisations, infrastructure availability is the single most important factor when choosing a data centre provider. By operating multiple facilities across the Midlands, Digital Space ensures your disaster recovery strategy is built into the architecture from day one, not added later as a separate project.

The real FAQs for Colocation
Colocation offers control without the overhead of owning infrastructure, but it comes with its own challenges. These FAQS should help address any concerns you have about those challenges, like cost and data sovereignty.
What is colocation hosting?
Colocation hosting lets you retain ownership of your hardware, while we provide enterprise-grade facilities with secure power, cooling, and connectivity.
How do colocation and server rooms differ?
Our colocation facilities deliver a combination of reliable infrastructure, compliance, and managed support that is far beyond what in-house rooms can provide.
What support is included?
We provide 24/7 technical assistance, remote hands services, and access to certified engineers alongside onsite controls.
Are there hidden costs?
None whatsoever. Our service pricing is transparent, and any promotional offers (like three months free colocation) will always include full rack, power, and bandwidth.
Can I expand over time?
Of course you can. We offer highly flexible rack configurations (1U to full racks), power plans, and scalable connectivity.
Is IT infrastructure sovereignty guaranteed?
Yes. All of our colocation services are within UK sovereign data centres designed for legal and regulatory compliance.
Why choose a Midlands colocation data centre over London?
A Midlands colocation facility delivers clear advantages over London, including:
- Lower rack and power costs that reduce ongoing operational spend
- More stable power pricing with less exposure to London centric volatility
- Geographic diversification away from the capital’s concentrated infrastructure risk
- Strong national connectivity with direct routes to London, Manchester and the North
- Central UK positioning ideal for organisations with distributed operations
For enterprises seeking cost efficient, high density colocation, the Midlands offers robust connectivity and resilience without the premium pricing associated with London.
Is Midlands colocation suitable for disaster recovery and business continuity?
Positioning a colocation site in the Midlands creates a strong foundation for disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity. Its location brings several operational advantages:
- Meaningful separation from London, reducing reliance on a single metropolitan region
- Lower vulnerability to localised power or network incidents
- Because of this, many organisations adopt Midlands colocation as their resilient secondary environment supporting replication, backup, and automated failover to strengthen continuity and meet regulatory expectations.
For enterprises seeking cost efficient, high density colocation, the Midlands offers robust connectivity and resilience without the premium pricing associated with London.
