Data Centres

Hosting critical systems, applications and data

Data centres offer secure and highly-reliable environments for storing, processing and managing business-critical data and applications. Forming the backbone of the Internet, they enable efficient and fast global exchange of data.

Data centre racks

Colocation rackspace

Your servers in our ultra-secure high-availability data centres

  • Individual servers
  • Private racks
  • Always-on power
  • High-capacity network
  • From a single server to multiple racks of secure space
  • 100% power uptime with dual distribution, UPS and generators
  • Redundant cooling to keep servers operating efficiently
  • 24x7 manned security, CCTV, keycard doors and locked cabinets
  • Automatic fire detection and suppression
  • Resilient Gigabit networking up to 100Gbps
  • Remote support for eyes-on, hands-on and advanced tasks

Our data centres offer a secure home for your equipment when it needs to have always-on power, cooling and network

IP transit

High-bandwidth resilient Internet access in data centres

  • Static IP
  • BGP sessions
  • Global reach
  • Low latency
  • High-capacity resilient access to the Internet
  • Using top global carriers for optimised short routes
  • We prioritise quality (efficiency and low latency) above cost
  • Static IP or BGP (default or full tables) options
  • Bandwidth options from 100Mbps up to 100Gbps
  • Available at 50+ points of presence (PoPs) across London

Our IP transit service provides direct access to the Internet from our enabled data centres, allowing high-speed data transmission globally with low latencies, close to the Internet backbone for shortest paths

Three data centres racks connected together

Ethernet and optical

Connecting your racks to other data centres and cloud providers

  • Ethernet
  • E-Line
  • E-LAN
  • MPLS / VPLS
  • Cloud connect
  • Optical waves
  • Private extension circuits between on-net buildings
  • Secure, low-latency, VPN-free connections
  • Delivered over our network backbone, avoiding public Internet
  • Cloud connects to major platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Bandwidths from 1Gbps up to 100Gbps (location dependent)
  • Options at selected PoPs for optically-isolated waves
  • Available at 50+ points of presence (PoPs) across London

Private secure Ethernet circuits are used to link together your racks at separate data centres, and to connect your equipment to remote carriers and cloud platforms present at other locations

Sovereign data storage

Hosting of your key business data exclusively within the UK

  • Cloud storage
  • Dedicated storage
  • Off-site replication
  • Backups
  • UK sovereignty
  • Host data locally to reduce lag for your UK users
  • Upload and download data in bulk using physical media access
  • Keep data within the country to reduce foreign interference risks
  • Exclusively UK based, eliminating global regulatory considerations
  • Dedicated hardware options for most secure data isolation
  • At-rest and in-transit encryption to keep data safe
  • Certified data destruction on hardware decommissioning
  • Comply more simply with data protection requirements

Data is at the centre of the modern digitally-connected business, and may be your most valuable single asset. Keeping the data accessible to staff, but also safe and confidential inside the organisation, can be a difficult balancing act.

Whilst using 'cloud storage' is convenient, the largest providers are global, behind complex legal structures, and are subject to foreign regulations such as the US CLOUD Act - this allows US law enforcement agencies to access data stored by US-based technology companies even if the data is held outside the United States.

Keeping data local also makes it quick to access, and even quicker to retrieve in bulk via physical media transfers (external HDD or even entire chassis) should it be necessary.
