These Datacentres are at the hub of corporate Internet traffic in South Africa. Their state-of-the-art hosting facility at the Rosebank point of presence has the biggest connection to both the South African internet network and the International Internet backbone.

WHAT DOES A WORLD CLASS DATA CENTRE NEED TO OFFER?

• Fast and reliable access to the Internet to ensure efficient service for the corporate Web site's visitors. Our local, national and international networks offer massive capacity and are fully managed and monitored. Direct peering with local and international providers ensures efficient flow of traffic across the Internet.
• The correct skills and resources to ensure the servers are secure and properly maintained and supported. A team of multi-skilled, cross-disciplined engineers will manage all your requirements from installation to support.
• The physical environment must be suitably redundant to ensure that unforeseen events like power failures have no effect on the business. The IDC's technology ensures that online applications are never unavailable as a result of power failures.
   

FEATURES OF THE HOSTING INTERNET DATA CENTRE

• Our equipment and support rooms are contained in fully fire-rated enclosures. Automatic fire protection conforms to the latest environmental protocols.
• Appropriately selected "close-control" air conditioning maintains room temperatures at 21°C within a window of 2°C. The same units maintain constant humidity conditions at 50% within a range of 5%. This control ensures a stable environment, thereby enhancing life and performance of processing and switching equipment.
• The IDC is secured by online access control systems, integrated into the overall access control system.
• The IDC is cable friendly. Each area is fitted with access flooring and a sub-floor co-ordinated power and data cable management system.
• The power system delivers Eskom power to the facility via automatically operated back-up generators, which are situated in a secure environment in the basement.
• Power supplies to the critical load components are fed via multiple parallel redundant UPS systems which are linked to a common supply.
• Environmental monitoring of the facilities is undertaken by means of water detection facilities, high temperature sensing, fire and fault conditions with response solutions being implemented automatically.
