One firm has chosen to move its managed data centre outside of its London Docklands base.
Desdner Kleinwort has chosen to move the centre to Watford as part of a multimillion pound project.
It hopes the move will reduce costs and energy usage, with the company saying rising energy bills had "certainly influenced" their plans.
John Bratkovics, global head of networks, voice and collaboration technologies, said: "There is a shortage of power and we have planned the new data centre so it is not only efficient, but resilient when it comes to power consumption."
The move will be effective from September and will see 2,000 Windows, Solaris and Linux servers relocated to the new site.
Mr Bratkovics said the relocation of the managed data centre is a very "resource-intensive exercise".
In other managed data centre news, a £44 million centre has been opened in Hertfordshire by Fujitsu, which claims to halve the energy used by a normal data centre.
