Ultimate security

The data centre access is strictly limited to security-cleared personnel, controlled by extensive CCTV monitoring and state-of-the-art access control systems.

• CCTV covers all areas of the data centre and corporate offices.
  
  
• Highly experienced security guards on duty 24x7x365.
  
  
• Access control requiring swipe-card, multiple digit PIN, finger-print plus accurate weight matching, ensuring absolutely no access to unauthorised personnel.

Climate controlled environment

Extensive environmental controls are employed to make sure all servers work to their full potential and deliver high performance day-in, day-out.

• The multi-million pound Denco system ensures that the data centre climate is monitored and adjusted to perfection at all times.
  
  
• Top of the line air-conditioning units.
  
  
• Humidity analysers and accurate temperature monitors.
  
  
• Fire suppression equipment – if the worst should happen, FM-200 gas is discharged within just 2 seconds to suppress the affected area.

Uninterruptible power supply

The data centres use the most advanced APC X UPS system available, providing uninterruptible power to all servers. In the case of a power outage, the power supply is switched instantly (with absolutely no interruption) to a diesel generator capable of running the data centres for 30 days.

In addition to the sophisticated monitoring systems, a team of expert engineers monitoring the data centres 24 hours a day, ensuring that any potential issues with each platform are prevented before they can even happen.
