Secure Data Centre

Our data centre maintains the highest level of building security around the clock.  The centre's multiple CCTV points, secure entries and exits and limited access areas are all managed by building control staff 24x7.

An optimal operating environment is maintained at all times.  The temperature in the technical space stays at 22°C (±2°C), with a humidity range of 50% (±10%).

Fire detection and suppression equipment includes smoke and heat detectors in all areas, dry pipe sprinklers in technical areas, dry risers to all floors and smoke and gas clearance system.

The power supply is provided through a minimum N+1 redundancy; the main power is supplied via two 33kV dedicated incomers, a diverse A&B power supply distributed at 11kV via a rotary UPS and multiple ring main circuits.  All power and cooling in the data centre are supported by up to 22 rotary UPS units.

During power outages, there is an onsite diesel power generator (360,000 litre capacity) that can support the centre at full capacity for 24 hours. This is backed up by a 2 hour / 24x7 fuel delivery contract.

High Speed Data

Our data centre facility features a dedicated 155 MBit STM1 ATM link, and multiple OC3 internet connections with 6MB available PVC for failover.

All hosted websites enjoy the benefit of full load balancing across a clustered web server farm, all the data being stored in a fibre channel RAID array.  Load balancers ensure web requests to any website are distributed to the least busy web server machine, maximising performance 24x7.

Redundancy exists at every level with each point of failure protected by a fully automated fail-over replacement.
