Notification of end of the lease at MA2 IBX® data center
Dear Customer,
At Equinix, we continually evaluate our real estate portfolio to deliver exceptional service and high value to our customers. Our site evaluation process includes determining which assets are strategic to our business, their ability to provide an exceptional, high-performing experience for our customers and the cost/benefit analysis of continuing to operate specific sites. We also take into consideration timing on leased properties and after a thorough evaluation, we have determined that the MA2 IBX® data center (MA2), located at Reynolds House, 4 Archway, Hulme, Manchester M15 5RL, United Kingdom, no longer meets our criteria for continued operation.
Our lease on MA2 is due to expire and as a result, we are notifying all customers with colocation services in MA2 that effective 30th June 2023, we will no longer operate this data center. We are, therefore, terminating all service orders, statements of work, agreements and other ordering documents for licensed space and colocation services at MA2 between you and Equinix with effect from your current service term expiry date if this occurs before 30th June 2023. Please note, we are willing to agree to a short-term non-renewal extension beyond your current agreement up to the exit date if required. Please contact your account manager to discuss this in more detail.
To enable us to meet our exit terms with the landlords, we will require all customers to vacate and remove all of their equipment as follows:
Colocation customers: All customer equipment in MA2 will need to be removed before 30th June 2023. If you have any questions about the relocation opportunities available to you, including details of MA5, our latest Manchester IBX data center, please contact your account manager or the MA2 Relocation Team.
Managed Services customers: Our managed services team will be contacting you to arrange a smooth migration of your managed services to another IBX data center in the Manchester region.
If your current service term expiry date occurs before 30th June 2023 and we have not agreed to a short-term non-renewal extension beyond your existing agreement, please plan to remove all your equipment by the expiry date stated in your agreement.
Please be assured, we are committed to keeping any inconvenience to a minimum. Thank you for being a valued customer. We look forward to welcoming you into one of our other IBX data centers in the UK.
Best regards,
Russell Poole
Managing Director
