20i, a leading cloud and web hosting provider, has announced a strategic partnership with Kao Data, leveraging its advanced data center infrastructure for improved security, performance, and sustainability.
Revolutionizing Web Hosting with Green Data Centers
In a move to enhance its hosting offerings, 20i has selected Kao Data’s state-of-the-art Harlow facility as its primary data center supplier. This collaboration ensures superior service performance, speed, and security while reinforcing 20i’s commitment to sustainability.
Kao Data is renowned for its high-performance data centers, engineered specifically for artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing workloads. Through this partnership, 20i aims to optimize its cloud services by utilizing Kao Data’s industry-leading infrastructure.
Commitment to Security and Resilience
By integrating with Kao Data’s Harlow campus, 20i ensures maximum security, reliability, and diverse connectivity options. The campus is well known for its robust security measures, 100% uptime record, and cutting-edge data center architecture, making it an ideal partner for hosting mission-critical workloads.
This collaboration allows 20i to provide its customers with enhanced digital infrastructure that meets strict performance and data sovereignty requirements while offering greater resilience.
Advancing Green Hosting Initiatives
Sustainability is a core value for 20i, and the partnership with Kao Data further solidifies its green hosting credentials. Kao Data’s Harlow campus operates on 100% certified renewable energy and utilizes hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) in backup power generators, reducing its environmental impact.
By deploying at Kao Data, 20i aligns itself with one of the UK’s most environmentally friendly data centers, which boasts an industry-leading Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) rating of less than 1.2, even at partial loads.
Industry Implications and Future Prospects
This strategic collaboration highlights the growing trend of organizations migrating compute workloads from London’s west to the north and east, capitalizing on Kao Data’s advanced colocation services. As AI and cloud computing continue to evolve, high-density data center solutions like those offered by Kao Data will play a crucial role in shaping the industry.
The deployment follows Kao Data’s announcement of KLON-03, a 17.6MW high-performance data center designed to accommodate hybrid-cooling technology. This expansion enables AI and cloud customers to deploy advanced liquid-cooled infrastructure alongside traditional air-cooled servers, further demonstrating the increasing demand for high-density colocation capacity.
As the digital landscape continues to evolve, partnerships like this will be critical in driving innovation while ensuring sustainability and operational excellence.
A Shared Vision for the Future
“At 20i, we are dedicated to continuously improving our services,” said Lloyd Cobb, Director at 20i. “By partnering with Kao Data, we ensure that our customers receive a highly secure, high-performance, and environmentally responsible hosting platform.”
Spencer Lamb, Chief Commercial Officer at Kao Data, added, “We are thrilled to welcome 20i to our Harlow campus. Their decision to join Kao Data further validates our position as one of the UK’s premier providers of high-performance colocation services for AI, cloud, and enterprise applications.”
With this collaboration, both companies are poised to redefine the future of hosting and data management, setting new benchmarks for security, performance, and environmental responsibility.
