Redcentric PLC: Byfleet Data Centre

Redcentric’s Byfleet data centre is located at 122 Oyster Lane, Byfleet, Surrey, KT14 7JU, just off Junction 10 of the M25, providing excellent access to Greater London, Heathrow Airport, and the M4/M25 corridor. Operated by Redcentric, a UK managed services and connectivity provider, this facility plays a strategic role within their UK colocation and cloud infrastructure estate. Byfleet is positioned to serve customers in London, the South East, and organisations requiring low-latency connectivity to key hubs. 

Its location advantage stems from proximity to major motorways (M25, M4) and close linkage to fibre routes and communications infrastructure in the London region. The data centre also benefits from being part of Redcentric’s national network of interconnected facilities, supporting regional resilience and hybrid cloud architectures.
