Legal & General continues to recognise the importance of supporting this growth in data capacity, whilst ensuring investments are as sustainable and economically attractive as possible, such as through these latest schemes which are powered by 100% renewable energy.”

With this move we are excited to be strengthening our data centre footprint across the UK and establish ourselves within the world’s second largest data centre hub. Kao Data has seen tremendous growth over the last twelve months, and the launch of our Slough facility is the next step in our continuing development.”
