Serverhouse: Fareham 1 (F1) Data Center

The Fareham 1 (F1) facility, operated by ServerHouse and located at 14 Brunel Way, Segensworth, Fareham, Hampshire (PO15 5TX), offers a strategically placed data-centre environment on the south coast of the UK. This site is adjacent to Junction 9 of the M27 motorway, providing fast road access to the London metro area, the south-east UK, and major carrier hubs. 

Originally built as a telecom switch centre and later refreshed for colocation use, the building now supports up to 400 racks with circa 2 MW of customer-power capacity in the current installation

The location and design combine regional accessibility with strong connectivity options, giving both local businesses and international-facing organisations the option of a coast-based data centre just under an hour from the M25 while avoiding central-London cost premiums.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• Gross building size approximately 22,000 sq ft with roughly 10,000 sq ft of net technical capacity in the current hall.
