Edge Datacentre Network

Avance Datacentres are the engines of cloud and internet services.

Our edge datacentres provide low-latency connectivity to Tier 3+ facilities, combining robust physical and cyber security at convenient locations throughout the UK. All sites are interconnected via a secure dark fibre ring, ensuring seamless and resilient communication. Flexible options are available, allowing you to start with fractional rack space and scale up to dedicated private aisles, accommodating high power densities suitable for modern servers. You retain full control over the sovereignty of your data and intellectual property, keeping everything within the UK. Thanks to solar-powered self-generation and innovative environmental cold-air cooling, Avance achieves a best-in-class Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.06 or better, delivering exceptional value.
