Andrew Ogilvie, Managing Director of Xtraordinary Hosting, said: "It was clear to us

retailers and other enterprise clients we needed to expand our offering in London. LON2 is
an excellent location for a number of reasons. It offers access to a wide range of
carriers; it is a POP site for the London Internet Exchange (LINX); it offers financial
services clients low latency connections to trading exchanges located nearby and is within
walking distance of the Tech City site at Old Street, home to a thriving community of
high-tech start-ups.
"LON2 is a Green Tech, state of the art facility and will provide us with the premium
data centre infrastructure we require to provide the latest in VMware-powered cloud

trust us with mission critical systems and by expanding into LON2 we can continue to offer
the same high-level of security, flexibility and consistency, supported by our well
regarded customer-led service.

presence there. LON1 is currently home to 200 financial services institutions, more than
