Our network infrastructure uses only
the highest quality, tested, branded hardware, to provide
the fastest, most secure and most reliable systems available.
Add the best possible backbone connection to the Internet
and you can be certain of a high speed contention-free service
without bottlenecks or throttling.
All our servers are housed in our own racks
and network located in dedicated hosting suites within centres like
Telecity, a multi-million pound secure data centre in the
London Docklands. These server housing facilities include
state of the art security, environment control and emergency
prevention systems.

Infrastructure
Specifics
Network
Capacity
Your managed server is
housed within a 19" rack. We connect your server
directly to a switch, and from there onto the Internet
backbone. This provides the best possible connection to
the rest of the world and means you can be certain of
a contention-free service without bottlenecks or throttling.
We have ample bandwidth, with multiple 1000Mb/s fibre optic backbones, which
can be instantly expanded as necessary via the arrangements
we have in place with our bandwidth providers.
Physical
Security
It is a well-established
security fact that any attempt to protect your system
with secure software, access lists and firewalls may be
thwarted simply by gaining physical access to the machine.
Our server centres demand validation tags, visual ID checking
systems, entry passwords, combination locks, 24 hour monitoring
by humans on the ground and constant Closed Circuit TV
cameras. As such, security is at its utmost for preventing
the basic but effective lines of attack.
Power
Delivery
The power systems are
vital to any machine room, in order to reduce any chance
of service interruption. In the event of a mains power-failure,
UPS systems kick into place automatically and seamlessly.
This allows enough time for the independent diesel generators
to fire up, to provide a non-stop and spike-free electrical
current indefinitely.
Network
Hardware & Monitoring
Our network infrastructure
is provisioned using only the highest quality, tested,
branded hardware, to provide the fastest, most secure
and most reliable systems available. Monitoring of individual
servers throughout the day and night, ensures that service
uptimes are maintained and that all network attacks or
service denial attempts are detected and dealt with quickly.
Environment
Control
Air conditioning and
environmental control ensure that the data floor maintains
a constant low and dry temperature and humidity. This
ensures optimum cooling and creates an atmosphere optimised
for electronic hardware with minimum risk of burnout or
overheating.
Fire
Protection
The security and fire
prevention systems ensure that should a fire break out
within the data floor, inert gas will immediately stifle
any flames, and any damage will be minimised and contained.
