    4D'S LATEST RESPONSE STATEMENT

     

    Providing a range of managed infrastructure services for companies like you

    A data centre is more than a building you put your servers in. Through colocation we can provide you with money-saving and reputation-protecting resiliency, our connectivity services will unite all of your IT into one connected system, and we can take some of the responsibility from your IT team if you launch one of our cloud options. Additionally, we will keep your data safe by integrating our comprehensive suite of cyber security solutions with any of our other services.

    With the range of infrastructure solutions our data centres can provide, we can definitely provide an ideal solution for your company:

    Security conscious data centres

    Our colocation facilities are highly secure, giving all of our customers – from healthcare to banking – confidence that their data is protected.

     

    Physical security:

    • CCTV covering inside and outside of the data centres
    • Gated access to the car park
    • ID and/or biometric confirmation required for all visitors
    • Locked internal doors to manage movement through the data centre
    • Servers racks are locked with keys, codes or biometrics so only you have access
    • 24/7/365 on-site staff so your servers are never unattended

     

    Why hundreds of organisations trust our data centres with their data

    • UK-based and independently owned – Our data centres are 100% owned and operated within the UK, giving you complete transparency on where your data is stored, and who has access to it.
    • 24/7/365 on-site technical support – Our data centres are staffed at all times with trained technical engineers, meaning you can have access and we can fix issues with your equipment at any time of day, while also providing a high level of security.
    • Never had a power outage and 99.999% uptime – Our data centres have never had a power failure, and we guarantee 99.999% network uptime, thanks to our excellent power, cooling and network redundancies.
    • Dedicated and customer-focused – Our engineers are here to be an extension of your IT team, ready to help with the loan of a screwdriver, or advice on future upgrade options.
    • Award-winning cooling – Our adiabatic cooling towers use evaporation to provide an award-winning level of efficiency, reducing our environmental impact and saving our customers money by reducing power costs.
    • Expert engineers – Our engineers are Microsoft and Cisco certified. They also have extensive experience with deploying new services and hosting advanced HPC racks with intense power and cooling demands.
