In the heart of London’s Docklands, you will find one of the leading boutique colocation data centres in the capital. IP House London has over 500 Racks across 2 Data Suites. It operates elite technologies for power, cooling, security, and communications which guarantees efficient solutions for all our clients. In this blog, we explore why IP House is one of London’s best-kept secrets and how it serves three main sectors: Fintech, Gaming, and Education, as well as other industries.
Personalised Service for Fintech
Colocation boutiques like IP House, offer a more personalised service compared to their larger counterparts. The focus is on providing bespoke tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of clients. This provides optimal performance, efficiency, resilience, and reliability which is crucial for the Fintech industry. Fintech companies require real-time processing capabilities and stringent security measures to handle sensitive financial data. Also, transitioning to colocation services helps Fintech companies to increase their data processing requirements,
“By migrating to external data centers – such as colocation centers – Fintech companies have the opportunity to increase their processing power as their needs evolve. High processing power plays an essential role in facilitating high-speed transactions.”

The Gaming Industry’s Demand for Speed
For the gaming industry, the demand for seamless, high-speed connectivity and low latency is paramount. Colocation boutiques like IP House London are strategically located to offer direct connections to major internet ecosystems, reducing lag and improving the overall gaming experience. Low latency is so important for gaming because persistent lagging in games can seriously damage the reputation of a gaming brand. With IP House London’s leading edge colocation data centre services high latency is not an issue. Being situated in the heart of London’s Docklands, IP House can serve gaming companies in the capital of the UK and beyond. The adoption of cloud gaming has seen games running entirely in the cloud using data centre services,

Research in 2023 showed that location mattered regarding the level of security risk faced by UK universities,
“The location and size of universities have an impact on the extent to which credentials have been breached, with London substantially at more risk, with 506,330 (20%) credentials breached, followed by the South East (334,251 – 13%) and Scotland (306,873 – 12%).”
