Shield House stands at 2 Crest Way in Barnwood, on the eastern side of Gloucester, and the colocation operator inside it is Indectron Limited, which gives the building its own code, GCR1. Indectron has traded since November 2008 and has run the Gloucester site under that code since 2018. Five networks come into Crest Way, none of them through an exchange fabric: LINX, LONAP and IX Manchester are all absent, so transit is bought from the carriers already in the building or hauled in over a customer's own circuits. The company's registered office is on the other side of the city, at Epsilon House on Gloucester Business Park, so the address a buyer visits and the address at Companies House are two different places. Indectron has released neither a floor area nor a power rating for the site.
GCR1 - Indectron's own designation for the Gloucester building at 2 Crest Way, Barnwood.
Which networks are reachable inside Shield House?
Five carriers come into the Barnwood building. There is no exchange fabric on site, so peering runs over transit or a customer's own backhaul to London or Manchester.
Which company runs Shield House?
Indectron Limited, a Gloucester company trading since November 2008. Its registered office is at Epsilon House on Gloucester Business Park, a separate address from the data centre.
How large is the Gloucester facility?
Indectron has published no floor area or power rating for Shield House. It is a single suburban building rather than a multi-hall campus, and it sells cabinets rather than wholesale halls.
How does a buyer reach Indectron about GCR1?
Through the company directly. Indectron sells colocation and managed hosting from this one site, so an enquiry goes to the operator rather than through a channel.
