The Data Centre (DC3) has multiple internet breakouts across redundant and geographically disparate networks to ensure that the service provided to customers is available around the clock.

The centre is designed for optimum security so you can be assured that your data is secure and supported by back-up power at all times. Dual-diverse fibre routing offers back-up links to the Manchester and London sites, with a back-up UPS and diesel generator capable of providing power for up to 24 hours if necessary; and service contracts with four national companies in place to provide additional fuel if needed.

These are all monitored by two independent (BMS) systems to ensure that the power supply and temperature within the hosting centre is carefully controlled and maintained.
