In Depth Information
When it comes to security, we refuse to compromise. The datacentre features
totally comprehensive 24/7 security to keep your equipment 100% safe. This means
our customers have the protection of security barriers, 24x7x365 monitoring
by on-site personnel to include visual verification of all persons entering
the building, CCTV video camera surveillance and a security breach alarm provides
the control room with information.
Access to the building, data floors and individual area’s are via individually
programmed Proximity Access Cards (PAC), usage of the PAC is logged centrally
by time and date. The cards cannot be used by anyone else, whenever someone
swipes their card tag over the sensors to gain access to the building, their
digital photograph will be displayed on security systems which are continuously
monitored by our on-site technicians. The technicians will then verify the information
and only when satisfied, allow access.
Visitors are looked after, but never obstructed: common-sense procedures ensure
visitors and their nominated staff can quickly gain access to their equipment
whenever they require, day or night without compromise.
The datacentre's policy guarantees all of our customers a redundant, high-capacity,
stable and reliable power supply, with easy scalable expansion in the future.
A minimum of 1Kw per square metre secure power is available, with power isolated
between customers and maintained indefinitely, plus on-site generation which
can deal with both customer and plant load whilst recharging the UPS.
The facility is built to at least an N+1 standard; put simply, this means that
if two generators are required to provide non-stop power, then three will be
installed.
Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) is installed inside the facility.
These highly sensitive aspirating smoke detectors are linked to the Building
Management system which is monitored continually from a network operations centre,
provide very early detection to help avoid fire, loss and business disruption.
This is coupled with a gas based fire retardant that is environmentally friendly,
to put out fires instantly, without damaging equipment.
To ensure optimum performance, all data floors are maintained at a constant
21°C ± 2°C and relative humidity is kept at 50% ± 10%.
Both are continually monitored via the BMS.
The facility operates computerised building management systems that monitor
and remotely operate sensors covering electrical, mechanical, fire detection
and leak detection systems.
Experienced on-site "Intelligent Hands" technicians are available
24x7x365 to enable rapid deployment of your kit, or help you sort out anything
from a simple tape rotation to a complex problem affecting hardware or software
from all major vendors.
