Behind the Scenes
The Data Centre Specifications
Diverse Network
The core datacentre network is connected with multiple 100Gb/s links to London and Manchester with on-net service providers for additional diversity. Switches are connected to diverse aggregation switches with redundant routing platforms.
Optimally Cold
The datahalls benefit from redundant cooling systems with hot/cold aisle containment to ensure no hot air makes its way back to the cold supply of the server racks. Cold aisle temperature is targeted between 19'c and 21'c to ensure optimal power-efficiency.
Dual HV Feeds
Two diverse incoming 11kV high-voltage feeds from the power grid, backed by 3 Diesel Generators providing 4MW 2N+1 Backup Power to the server datahalls.
Triple UPS Systems
Not two, but three battery-backed UPS systems, eliminating the worry during routine maintenance on one UPS - as there's still two other systems running!
Fire Suppression
Inert gas suppression with VESDA ensures smooth extinguishant release and prevents destruction caused by sudden high pressure release.
