The Data Centres
All datacentres are either Tier III or IV standard and offer the
latest technology in security and resiliencies, meaning that the
services you want are available when you need them with flexible
packages and options.
UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) N+1
In the event of a mains power failure the UPS seamlessly takes over
to make sure there is a consistent source of power. The UPS also
filters the supply taking out spikes to ensure a clean power
source.
Generator
The 3x 800kVA Generator (N+1) backs up the UPS in the unlikely
event of a prolonged mains power failure. The generator is diesel
driven and there are contracts in place with suppliers to make sure
the generator keeps going.
FM200 Fire Suppression System
Fire protection is provided by the Fire Suppression System which
fills the sealed data centre with gas to extinguish any fire
quickly without the use of water which would cause wider damage to
equipment.
Climate Control
The data centre is fully climate controlled with N+1 Stultz DX
Cybercool Air Conditioning Systems. The system monitors and
controls the temperature and humidity levels.
CCTV & Intruder Alarms
The data centre is monitored by CCTV both externally and
internally. All CCTV images are recorded and stored for 3
months.
Secure Fob Access
There are two locking doors to go through for access to each of the
separate data halls within DC2. These are locked and can only be
opened using Secure Fobs which are only held by named staff.
Individual locking racks are available.
Secure Fence
The building is surrounded by an 8 foot perimeter fence. Gates are
locked outside normal business hours.
