A datacentre for Birmingham, without the city-centre price tag.
VeloxServ runs an ISO 27001-accredited, carrier-neutral datacentre around 15 miles from Birmingham city centre. Birmingham businesses get the proximity and connectivity of a city facility, with the cost and space of the West Midlands.
Close to the city, clear of the cost
Birmingham is the UK's second-largest city and a fast-growing digital economy, but rack space inside the city carries a premium and power is tight. Our facility in the West Midlands gives Birmingham firms a practical alternative: near enough to walk a server in before lunch, far enough to keep colocation affordable.
The site is roughly 15 miles from Birmingham city centre, reachable in around 30–45 minutes by road via the M6, M5 and M54, with frequent trains running between Birmingham and Wolverhampton if you'd rather leave the car.
For the workloads themselves, what matters is the network, not the postcode. A 100Gbps MPLS core and diverse fibre routes keep latency to Birmingham low — typically only a few milliseconds — so production systems, VoIP and real-time applications behave as if they were hosted next door.

The reasons companies across Greater Birmingham move their hardware out of the office cupboard — and out of pricier city-centre racks — and into our West Midlands facility.
Lower cost than the city
More power and floor space for your budget than inner-Birmingham colocation, without sacrificing access or connectivity.
Same-day hands on
A short drive up the motorway means your team — or our 24/7 engineers — can be at the rack quickly when something needs a physical touch.
Carrier-neutral fibre
Diverse entry points and a 100Gbps MPLS core, with Zayo, BT Openreach and Virgin Media, so you choose the carrier that suits Birmingham connectivity.
Disaster recovery
An out-of-city resilient site for Birmingham businesses that need their DR copy somewhere separate from head office but still close by.
ISO 27001 security
HD CCTV, proximity access control and 24/7 monitoring to an audited standard — useful when clients or compliance ask where data lives.
Room to grow
Start with a single server and scale to a private cage on the same site, without re-tendering or migrating between providers.

Dedicated space for several servers when one or two units stop being enough, with headroom to expand.
Half rack colocation
Substantial capacity and flexible power for growing Birmingham IT estates, short of a full rack commitment.

A full, dedicated rack with robust security and 100Gbps connectivity for high-density workloads.
