MANOC (Manchester Network Operation Centre) is the home to UKFast's servers and network.
MANOC I & MANOC II originally started as facilities within data centres owned by The University of Manchester. MANOC I was located in the Kilburn Building on Oxford Road (home of the Department of Computer Science). [ citation needed]After The University of Manchester realised they did not have sufficient power to grow or maintain the facility if it grew much larger, a new MANOC (MANOC II) was established again with the University of Manchester, this time in the Science Park. [1] It is the UK’s second biggest internet hub and a nerve centre for the North West: almost all of Manchester’s net traffic goes through here. [2]
MANOC's largest customer UKFast hosts over 2500 rack servers in its facility and as a result of UKFasts growth a new facility was acquired in August 2009 in central Manchester to keep up with the demand in a deal worth £9.6m, [3] [4]
