Co-Location

Clients decide to co-locate to reduce operating expenses, increase security or to guarantee uptime for business critical systems. Co-located servers have the benefit of all local services including direct pre-wired redundant Ethernet connectivity to the backbone, housing within an environmentally controlled environment and 24 hour by 365-day operation. Power, air conditioning and telecoms are 100% diverse, allowing us to operate independently of any one supplier.

Cabinet specification.

Each rack is 42u of available space, supplied with a 20amp protected single phase mains supply split over 2 distributions, The 4 way high volume extraction fans in the roof increase air flow through the cabinet, whilst the perforated raised floor tiles feed conditioned air from the forced cooling system (maintained at 20oc). Each cabinet offers easy access to the front and rear for installation and maintenance.

Bandwidth.

Internet access is provided over 10/100/1000 Ethernet direct from the core switches. Clients can purchase as much or as little bandwidth as they require, and upgrades can be completed within 1 working day. Bandwidth provided to co-located equipment is classed as "Zero Length" and priced on maximum available bandwidth per second.

Rack space.

Rack space can be provided on a per "u" basis or per half or full cabinet. Rack cabinets, power distribution and networking equipment are all provided for in house. All clients need to do is plug their equipment in, everything else is ready to go. Customers have the choice of plugging directly into a core ethernet switch or through their own firewall or switch.
