With information technology at the heart of business, the infrastructure that supports it has become increasingly important. But has creating and maintaining a secure, resilient, highly-connected data centre environment become a costly distraction from your core business activity? As a data centre specialist, we offer an alternative. Outsource your data centre requirements to us and we can help you improve the availability and performance of your applications, enjoy greater security and offer your end-users a better experience.
Data centres and IT infrastructure is our core business; our server management solution includes proactive support, comprehensive server monitoring, hardware and resource trend reporting, hardware repair, operating system patch monitoring, alerting and installation services. We have inhouse expert hosting and networking teams that work 24/7 to monitor, diagnose and support servers from the hardware level all the way up to the operating system.
For each monitored server we set up a comprehensive runbook that records the procedures required to administer the system, including contingency handling. Any open support issues are logged in our issue tracking system, with status updates around the clock. Through performance counters and optional agents, we can provide a history of server activity, including disk usage, CPU utilisation and network activity.
We offer dedicated servers, colocation and managed hosting. These range from a single rack to dedicated suites and complete data floors with power available from as little as 1kW to multiple megawatts. Our team will help you build the appropriate environment for the servers and IT infrastructure that you wish to locate within the data centre, delivering your space in a way which meets and supports your business requirements.

Our commitment to remaining at the forefront of hosting technologies is a primary focus for us, and ensures that we continue to provide the best hosting solutions available for our customers. By default all our IPv6 solutions are also Dual Stacked, allowing you to support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses simultaneously.
