Datacentre Tour

Servers

Server Centre exclusively uses Dell servers for all our services combining Dells hardware with VMware Infrastructure. These Cloud based services ensure we are able to dynamically increase resources to any service as demand requires. Our cloud based services ensures that in the event of any physical hardware failure, all virtual servers will be re-allocated to another host ensuring the service is up and running again within minutes.

 

Datacentre Features

UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) N+1

In the event of a mains power failure the UPS seamlessly takes over to make sure that there is a consistent source of power. The UPS also filters the supply taking out spikes to ensure a clean source of power.

Generator

The 3 N+1 Generators back up the UPS in the unlikely event of a prolonged mains power failure. The generator is diesel driven and there are contracts in place with suppliers to make sure the generator keeps going.

FM200 Fire Suppression System

Fire protection is provided by the Fire Suppression System which fills the sealed data centre with gas to extinguish any fire quickly without the use of water which would cause wider damage to equipment.

Climate Control

The data centre is fully climate controlled with N+1 Stultz DX Cybercool Air Conditioning Systems. The system monitors and controls the temperature and humidity levels.

CCTV & Intruder Alarms

The data centre is monitored by CCTV both externally and internally. All CCTV images are recorded and stored for 3 months.

Secure Fob Access

There are two locking doors to go through for access to each of the separate data halls within DC2. These are locked and can only be opened using Secure Fobs which are only held by named staff.

Secure Fence
The building is surrounded by an 8 foot perimeter fence. Gates are locked outside normal business hours.

Raised Floors
To provide easy access to cables and aid circulation of cooled air, the data centre uses a 14.5kN/m2 raised floor system.
2 Halls DC2 has 2 separate halls with a combined 6,000 sq ft net capacity.
