THE GRID FACTORY REQUIRED AN
EDGE DATA
CENTRE PARTNER THAT COULD SUPPORT THE DEPLOYMENT OF MULTIPLE PLATFORMS
ACROSS THE UK . along with server migration services and a straightforward contract with a single set of SLAs covering one or multiple sites was also a key factor in the decision to partner .
“ The GRID Factory has delivered a variety of Virtual and Augmented Reality experiences for partners and clients including NVIDIA , Autodesk , Cavrnus , BT , EE , Vodafone , Coventry University , Ericsson , Hyperbat and DivisionX ,” said Ben Jones , Founder and CTO of The GRID Factory .
“ As an Immersive Technology Integrator and Cloud Services Provider which specialises in NVIDIA technologies , we make major demands on data centre power , connectivity and engineering support . Proximity has ticked all the boxes in this respect when it comes to power availability , scalability , low latency and on-site support .”
The move to Proximity ’ s data centre in Swindon early last year is part of The GRID Factory ’ s on-going expansion strategy .
The data centre meets its growing demands for more compute power , scalability , low latency and specialised cooling . Proximity ’ s nationwide network of interconnected data centres also offers scope for meeting its future Edge computing needs . �
