Just a few specific benefits of our datacentres include:

• Minimum N+1 Redundancy on Power Supplies

• State-of-the-art cooling system helps ensure hardware stability. (Temperature in technical space consistently maintained within two degrees of 22oC.

• Sophisticated fire detection and suppression ensures hardware integrity in the case of catastrophic hardware failure.

• Our infrastructure in this facility is linked via ultra-high speed, fibre connection, promoting network consistency and redundancy across our product line.

• Premium bandwidth based on multiple peering arrangements, ensuring consistent, speedy access to the wider internet.

Network

The following is a summary of some of they key features of our Network Infrastructure, again demonstrating exceptional quality and reliability:

•  Premium bandwidth is provided by our peering networks, empowering network redundancy, ensuring extremely low domestic latency, and providing optimal international connectivity.

•  Each server is connected to the network at 100 Mbps, ensuring bandwidth bursts are available whenever required. All network wiring is of the highest standard, with proprietary wiring protocols and procedures developed by a professional engineer.

•  We use only the highest quality network equipment; routing is accomplished using industry-leading Cisco routers, and Cisco switches, with completely redundant Cisco router and switch "spares" available for immediate installation in the extremely unlikely event of a catastrophic network hardware failure. Each router provides up to 2 Mpps (millions-of-packets-per-second) routing performance and include integrated multiservice interchange (MIX) functionality.

•  Network security is provided by a combination of active system administration and proprietary tools. Market-leading Cisco PIX Security Appliances/Firewalls, available on a per-server basis to dedicated server and colocation clients, deliver extensive user and application policy enforcement, multivector attack protection, and secure connectivity services.
