Data Centres

We provide hosting services that our clients rely on. That means that we need to ensure that we have hosting facilities that will not let our customers down. We have invested heavily in our infrastructure and the design of our systems with the dual aims of performance and reliability.

We have equipment in two separate data centres in London Docklands, each run by a different company. Each location has stringent physical security, redundant power and multiple data connections. We currently connect to the Internet backbone using 4 Tier 1 Internet carriers: Level(3), NTT, Telia and Tiscali. We are also members of the London Internet Exchange (LINX) and peer with other members to exchange data directly with their networks. All of our connections can run at Ethernet speeds. Being at the heart of the UK Internet is important because the most common problem for users of hosted services is delays as data is transferred from the user to the server and back again.

All customer data is held on a high performance fibre channel SAN, and servers are clustered so that no service is provided by just one server. Our systems are closely monitored and upgraded as required to ensure that we continue to deliver the service that our customers have come to expect.
