Colocation and datacentre experts

  • Built using the knowledge gained from over 12 years datacentre experience we've used our expert knowledge to make our datacentre second to none. Our Colocation DC utilises Cisco ASRs, Nexus 7Ks and 6500 series Routers, with Cisco Nexus 5ks and Nexus 2k Fabric Extenders coupled with 4948s, 2960G and 2950T switches. The N7K cores are loaded with top end Supervisor engines and 10gigabit line cards. Feeding the Nexus 7Ks are uplinks from Telehouse North and Interxion.

  • We own fibre interconnects to Telehouse North and Interxion which exit the building underground via two different points which terminate into separate ODF cabinets. Even if some misplaced roadworks were carried out in the vicinity of the datacentre there is another set of links that will not be affected. These links are capable of running up to 520Gb quickly if the need ever arose.

  • At Interxion and Telehouse North we use Cisco ASR Carrier Grade routers for our routing and make use of several carriers to peer with from Interxion and Telehouse North. All of our peers to Nlayer, Easynet, Cogent & LINX (224 & 226) are running on multiple 10Gig pipes, and we have 100s of peers, some of which we have had for in excess of 10 years.

  • Our installed Redcare system is connected to the Police and Fire Services, this is made redundant via cellular and IP technology. The Fire system has recently been upgraded to conform to P1+L1+M with 100% coverage, using beam detectors, VESDA and normal smoke detection.

  • Our CCTV coverage comprises auto tour and PIR activation. The external CCTV tours the perimeter of the building, but should anyone approach any predetermined point (gates, doors, points of entry) the CCTV will focus on the point of trigger.

  • The CCTV also covers all internal points of entry. The system backs up its footage both locally and off site and is remotely accessible by UK2.net staff. There is also a perimeter alarm system, with beam detectors covering roof access, all doors, roller shutters and windows.

Testimonials

Having our website up and running at all times is absolutely critical to our business. We learnt the hard way with a couple of hosting providers who promised the earth but couldn't come close. Fortunately, we made the switch to UK2.net and are simply thrilled to have experienced the kind of uptime we have. Hardly ever have we had to contact their customer support, but on the rare occasion that we had to, we have been bowled over by promptness, preparedness and professionalism of the support staff. In fact, we feel switching to UK2.net has been a strategic masterstroke!

Ben Flux, Quotation Junction

We started using UK2 nearly four years ago when our business was in its infancy. From buying basic shared server services and registering domains with UK2, we gradually started buying dedicated servers as the demand for our web sites exploded out of all proportion. We now have five dedicated servers for www.goals365.com and www.betrescue.com which together server over 500,000 unique users per month. We continue to use UK2 because they provide the products we require at exceptional value and in a hassle free and effective manner.

Jonathan Shepherd, MD Betrescue Ltd

UK2.net provide first class servers with super fast connectivity and unrivaled support I have no hesitation in recommending any of their services. Having spent 10 years running online businesses, and using 'WebFusion', 'Dedicated-Servers' & 'Fasthosts' none of which have come close to uk2.net for reliability, speed or support.

Rob Barclay , Teeside

UK2 provide the kit we need in a truly cost effective way. They're level of service with our dedicated servers is second to none. All of the team here at ichiban media are pleased to do business with you guys, YOU ROCK
