The Data Centre

Our plaform is outsourced at two location for enchanced redunancy. The London Hosting Centre (LHC) and the Cambridge Hosting Centre (CHC) are state-of-the-art datacentres owned by Telstra Europe, providing high end Hosting and Co-location services in the UK. With over  11,500m2 available, they are specifically designed to support complex data and web hosting, with the CHC offering a higher energy capacity per metre2 than traditional datacentres.

Guaranteed power

The Hosting Centres receive power directly from the National Grid and benefit from a series of backup measures - including Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems on each floor and backup generators - to ensure continuity of service in the event of external problems. What’s more, our systems are regularly tested using ‘Black Building’ power failure simulation tests for complete confidence.

Resilient Connectivity

The datacentres are redundantly interconnected via our network backbone, ensuring diversity and resilience are always maintained. Our network is subject to strict monitoring by trained Telstra engineers to ensure any problems are immediately acted on and resolved.

Complete protection

Advanced climate control systems supporting the humidity and cooling of each suite are in place within all technical areas. In addition, the facilities are protected internally by VESDA – Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus - and Argonite fire suppression systems.

Rigorous security

Both sites are monitored by CCTV and manned by professional security staff 24/7/365. Access to the sites is strictly controlled via pre-validation of all visitors and proximity access swipe cards are required for access to all technical areas.
