Our servers are housed in a state of the art data centre, which provides the following facilities to ensure your server is available to your users:
The network we use operates on equipment from Cisco Systems and is based on 10-gigabit technology, which means that it runs at a speed of 10000 Mb per second.
The network utilises 100% CAT6 network cable, which contains four pairs of copper wire and, unlike CAT5, utilises all four pairs. CAT6 supports Gigabit Ethernet and supports communications at more than twice the speed of CAT5e, which is the other popular standard for Gigabit Ethernet cabling.
Our servers are connected to a multi-homed network utilising BGP4 technology, or put another way our servers have multiple connections to the Internet with different backbone providers, should any connection fail our other connections automatically take all the traffic.
Not only does this mean that it is very unlikely for us to lose connectivity to the Internet, but it also means that traffic moving to and from our network can choose from a range of paths to get to its final destination.
Each rack has two independent power feeds, fed from two diverse connections to the national grid.
Should one or both of these power feeds fail, battery backup systems will take over. If after 10 seconds the mains power is not restored, diesel powered generators will start providing full continuous power to the data centre.
Spare fuel for the generators is stored on-site and contracts are in place with fuel companies to deliver continuous emergency fuel for a virtually unlimited amount of time.
Fire protection is provided by a fire suppression system, which fills the sealed data centre with gas to extinguish any fire quickly without the use of water and without damage to any equipment.
The data centre is fully climate controlled, which monitors and controls the temperature and humidity levels.
