Website Hosting Data Centre

In the heart of England, two state-of-the-art data centres house thousands of the latest web and mail servers, maintained 24x7 by expert team of engineers.

Every possible consideration is made for the servers to operate to their full potential, so they can deliver the highest possible levels of uptime and security.

• The latest technology – Microsoft Windows 2003, RedHat Enterprise Linux and Exchange mail servers, with all major scripting languages and database technologies supported.
• Unrivalled connectivity - plugged directly to the backbone of the internet, every server enjoys a fully redundant Tier 1 connection so our customers never experience slow-down or service interruptions.

Ultimate security

Data centre access is strictly limited to security-cleared personnel, controlled by extensive CCTV monitoring and state-of-the-art access control systems.

• CCTV covers all areas of the data centre.
• Highly experienced security guards on duty 24x7x365.
• Access control requiring swipe-card, multiple digit PIN, finger-print plus accurate weight matching, ensuring absolutely no access to unauthorised personnel.

Climate controlled environment

Extensive environmental controls are employed to make sure servers work to their full potential and deliver high performance day-in, day-out.

• The Multi-million pound Denco system ensures that the data centre climate is monitored and adjusted to perfection at all times.
• Top of the line air-conditioning units.
• Humidity analysers and accurate temperature monitors.
• Fire suppression equipment – if the worst should happen, FM-200 gas is discharged within just 2 seconds to suppress the affected area.

Uninterruptible power supply

The data centres use the most advanced APC X UPS system available, providing uninterruptible power to all servers. In the case of a power outage, the power supply is switched instantly (with absolutely no interruption) to a diesel generator capable of running the data centres for 30 days.

Monitoring

In addition to sophisticated monitoring systems, a team of expert engineers monitor the data centres 24 hours a day, ensuring that any potential issues with the platform are prevented before they can even happen.
