UKFast Data Centre Tour 2012


MaNOC4 is our latest data centre; we opened it in 2011 as part of our expansion plans We have another six data centre facilities at various levels of completion in the area too.

This site is protected by extensive security measures. Electronic card access, razor wire and CCTV are just a few of the methods we have for ensuring we have complete control over access to the data centre.

The servers we house in our secure facility have to be strictly temperature controlled. We utilise cold aisle containment with solid roofs and sliding doors. This means the hardware is kept at the optimum temperature to keep it working at maximum efficiency.

Each rack is A and B power fed meaning that any hardware with redundant power supplies are powered from two different power sources. Our diesel generators are run on an N+1 configuration, providing back-up power for the site for up to 48 hours in the event of any power outage and minimising service disruption to our clients.

The facility is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We guarantee to answer the phone within 3 rings meaning our clients have access to expert help, whenever they need it.

We also have a launch team based at the data centre; they work with our solutions architects to create the correct hosting solution for any bespoke client requirements, ensuring they perfectly match their needs.

The next step in our development will see us open six new data centres, each with the same high standards, green technologies and dedicated support as MaNOC4.
