Your equipment safely located in our state-of-the-art data centres
Looking to expand your IT infrastructure without the high costs and complexity of managing your own data centre? We offer a reliable, secure, and fully managed solution that enables your business to host critical IT assets in a professional-grade environment.
Today's businesses depend on the availability of their IT systems to remain competitive. Data fuels real-time decision-making, customer experience, and operational efficiency, it also demands robust protection against rising cyber threats and data leaks.
Downtime harms productivity, sales and reputation. So how do you prevent downtime?
Hosting your servers in the office has its appeal by keeping data close for fast onsite access, but a typical office does not satisfy these key criteria.
Data centers offer an efficient solution to all of these problems, enabling your business to focus on growth and innovation.
Continuous power
Our data centres feature uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) with backup diesel generators, to ensure 100% uptime in the event of power failures outside
Cooling systems with redundancy
Ensure trouble-free operation with reliable cooling all year round, preventing overheating and maintaining optimal temperatures even during cooling systems maintenance
Layered physical security
Multiple layers of protection as standard: 24/7 manned guards, perimeter and internal CCTV, strict visitor identification checks, and zonal keycard access throughout each campus and building. Each colocation rack is locked with its own unique code
Geographically separate routing paths and multiple global Internet carriers eliminate any single point of failure and maximises uptime
Our 100Gbps+ backbone provides scalable bandwidth & low latency, ideal for seamless scaling of demanding requirements
Fire detection and suppression
Rapid fire detection and no-water gas suppression systems to protect your equipment safely and effectively
Remote support
On-site teams working around the clock to provide eyes-on remote hands and advanced support for your equipment
Resilience
Leverage multi-site options to enhance diversity and disaster recovery (DR) capabilities, ensuring business continuity by minimising the impact of localised disruptions
Many organisations find that the cloud doesn't meet their expectations, prompting a shift back to on-premises or private cloud setups. According to IDC, while cost savings were a major reason for cloud adoption, nearly half of cloud users in 2023 spent more than anticipated, with 59% expecting similar overages in 2024. This is often due to the complexity of cloud environments and unforeseen costs, such as idle resources still being metered.
Managing cloud infrastructure can be just as challenging as handling in-house systems, with issues like over-provisioning and underutilised assets. Common reasons for repatriating workloads include cost overruns, performance and latency issues—especially for real-time and AI applications—and security & compliance concerns, particularly in sectors like finance and healthcare. Additionally, keeping workloads in-house provides greater operational control, enabling organisations to optimise resources to their specific needs.

Choose which type of colocation best suits you in our data centres:
Individual servers
For a smaller number of servers, with managed networking and remote assistance, ideal alternative to an office comms cupboard or when starting out
Dedicated racks
Your own private space, from 10U up to full height racks, with the flexibility to access whenever you need and remote support for emergencies
