We currently
have two set packages for hosting. However, if there is a feature
that you require that is not listed, please give us a call. We
may be able to help.
Data
Centre Facilities
The off-site data centre that
we use offers a secure, resilient environment for our web hosting
platform. Based in a secure facility the data centre is built
to an N+1 specification, so that if any particular service fails
- e.g. electricity or air conditioning - another backup service
automatically takes over the failed service's job
Power
Systems
Dual power feeds enter the building
at different points and Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) ensure
that all power to the server area is clean and spike free. In
the event of a power outage the UPS can take the entire data centre
load for up to five minutes. However within 20 seconds, redundant
generators are able to indefinitely take on the entire data centre
load.
Security
Protocols
The data centre is manned 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week, so that if anything goes wrong engineers
can respond quickly and effectively to the problem.
Access to the data centre is via a master access list using Smart
Card authentication. Access to the data centre is by authorisation
only.
CCTV operates throughout the facility.
Cooling
and Fire Suppression
The temperature of the data centre is kept at
a steady 20oC to allow optimum equipment performance.
A fire detection system monitors the room for any sign of fire
and allows operators to respond to such a situation using a variety
of fire suppression techniques.
