Demand for data centre capacity in London remains strong despite fears over power consumption and security issues, it has been claimed.
According to service provider Interxion, customers could save an estimated 30 per cent by locating their network equipment outside of the capital but they are deciding not to.
Ali Moinuddin, director of marketing, told Techworld: "Some have wanted to locate their data centre outside the M25, because of the perceived threat of terrorism."
"But... we are still seeing demand for data centres in central London," he added.
Mr Moinuddin said that the growth in demand for data centres in the south-east of England was being driven by the fact that businesses want their networking equipment to be housed nearby.
He said that in the last five years more and more firms have come around to the idea of outsourcing their IT infrastructure.
According to the National Computing Centre, the location of data centres is becoming more important.
