Hosting

Hosting servers avoid having to invest in the expensive and complex power protection, physical security and cooling systems necessary for modern computer rooms.

You can host individual devices, or lease whole racks in our purpose built data centres that are ideally positioned in the middle of our voice and data networks; allowing lower cost access to high capacity IPVPN core networks, internet platforms and voice services.

Ideal if…

• You want a cost effective managed business hosting service.
• You have outgrown your office computer room, and it can no longer deliver the power and cooling required for modern servers.
• You need a business continuity or disaster recovery solution.
• You need to host your servers close to the core of the UK internet, to reach residential customers more efficiently.
• You need low cost, high capacity access to our core public, private or voice networks for IPVPN and internet bandwidth, or channelized voice circuits.

Dedicated: our UK based facilities are maintained to deliver high class managed services; including easy access and our high speed resilient backbone.

Secure: our data centres provide you with the perfect operational environment, including high level network security.

Support: experienced staff provide on site management, fault diagnosis and monitoring.

Flexible: free up your own network and resources. We provide the space, power, connectivity and remote hands services, whatever the size or function of the device.

Scalable: make strategic changes to the way you host business critical applications, with rack services that offer you scalability and reliability.

Responsive: our servers are maintained and constantly monitored for optimum performance. From websites to web based applications, employees and customers will benefit from a more responsive end user experience.

Bespoke: solutions can be designed to your specific requirements.

Here are some typical examples of how businesses can benefit from out hosting services:

1. A professional education provider hosted a student application website, to enable members of the public to subscribe for professional qualification courses online. However, they found their Internet connection was limiting their expansion plans for e-learning. We provided them with four racks and high capacity local connectivity onto our internet platform, providing students with massively improved performance, regardless of their home internet service provider. This improved the company’s reputation in the market, attracting additional students and allowing enhanced multimedia course material to be distributed.

2. A manufacturing company had all of its IT servers and staff in a historical, rural location where cost effective connectivity was difficult to come by. They were out of range for modern Ethernet services, limiting them to 2Mbps, or requiring them to meet the high costs of increasing capacity. By moving their business IT applications to our data centre, the need to increase the head office’s connection size was removed and access performance to the servers from the branches was massively enhanced.
