Power and Air Conditioning:
Right from the start, the power supplies were designed with several criteria in mind: very high capacity, stability, reliability and scope for easy expansion. The facility has a 2 Megawatt power supply, with Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems plus two further diverse mains supplies with circuit breaker protection, and an on-site generator in the unlikely event of long-term power outages.
Security:
We have a high-security system that includes 24 x 7 monitoring by on-site personnel, video camera surveillance and a security breach alarm. Access to the Internet data centre is by electronic tags, and each instance of access to Serverstream areas are logged by time and date.

Network: |
Our network provides customers with high speed, high quality Internet transit connectivity to European, North American and the "rest-of-the-world" (ROW) Internet domains with guarantees for performance parameters within the network.
Our backbone service interconnects our customers with main internet exchanges and other top-level international backbone providers. Customers connected to the backbone obtain any-to-any connectivity within a pre-defined routing policy, which provides comprehensive internet reach and throughput. |
