Datacentres

Our state-of-the-art Tier 3+ aligned datacentre is a purpose-built 50,000 square foot facility that covers four data halls and is powered by 100% renewable energy.

A dedicated team of security staff are on site 24/7 and a network of CCTV covers every hall. A sophisticated access control system and perimeter palisade fence further protect the facility.

Mains power for the datacentre is provided by fully renewable sources such as wind and solar farms and each server has two independent power feeds for redundancy. A backup diesel generator and set of UPS batteries provide a failsafe in the unlikely event of mains failure.

Air conditioning units extract excess hot air from the servers, cool it, and re-circulate it within the hall. Our N+2 configuration allows us to operate each unit at a lower load than normal, meaning even if two units fail then cooling performance won’t be impacted.
