Ardora and Blaq Cat partner on data centre rollout across US and UK

Ardora Group has agreed a partnership with Blaq Cat Data Centres

To support the rollout of new data centre capacity across the United States and the United Kingdom.

The partnership pairs Blaq Cat's operational expertise and existing infrastructure with Ardora's network of contacts on both sides of the Atlantic. The initial phase will focus on identifying and securing sites in regions where demand for high-performance colocation and cloud-ready infrastructure is outstripping supply.

The US and UK were selected as the first markets for the obvious reasons. Both have mature digital economies, strong connectivity infrastructure, and persistent demand for resilient data centre capacity that has been hard to satisfy through traditional providers. Procurement cycles for serious data centre work also tend to favour established relationships, which is where we come in.

The intention is for the partnership to extend further over time, but for now the work is focused on getting the first sites operational, with the right specifications, on the right timelines.

We'll post updates as the rollout progresses.
