Located less than 8 miles outside Sheffield City Centre, and just over 5 miles from the Juntion 31 of the M1 motorway, Our data centre provides businesses of all sizes high quality, reasonably priced and professionally managed hosting, colocation, and data centre services.

High capacity and reliable networks are one of the most important and essential parts of any data centre. Our data centre has capacity for both fibre and copper services, and peers with Tier-1 providers. Our Tier-1 providers are currently ntl:Telewest (now Virgin Media) and BT.

Each rack has a patch panel with Category 6 cabling terminating into our comms racks. Customer servers are connected to our switches over Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbit), with redundant switches covering odd and even patch panel ports.

All critical services, (core / rack networking, security / fire alarms, access control, customer racks) are protected by APC decentralised Uninterruptible Power Supplies.

Each rack has it’s own UPS, eliminating any Single Point of Failure from affecting the whole data centre. This approach of UPS deployment ensures customers get access to 100% of the UPS protected power their rack is entitled too, as well as allowing limitless capacity expansion without affecting existing customers or risking disruption centrally.

The data centre is protected against utility (mains) outages by a 100kVA onsite diesel generator.

Utility power is constantly monitored and Automatic Transfer Switches failover power from utility to generator without human intervention. Engineers are automatically paged if the generator is started out of hours.
