World class facilities keep your website online 24x7x365

The SniffHost data centre offers a secure, resilient environment for our web hosting platform. Along with our cutting edge server technology our data centre allows us to offer you our famous 100% uptime guarantee.

Based in a secure facility the data centre is built to an N+1 specification so should any particular service fail e.g. electricity or air conditioning, another backup service automatically takes over the failed services job.

Power

Dual power feeds enter the building at different points and Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) ensure that all power to the server area is clean and spike free, in the event of a power outage the UPS can take the entire data centre load for up to five minutes, however within 20 seconds our redundant generators are able to indefinitely take on the entire data centre load.

Security

Our data centre is manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so that if something does go wrong engineers can respond quickly and effectively to the problem.

Access to our data centre is via a master access list using Smart Card authentication, access to the data centre is by invitation only.

CCTV operates throughout the facility.

Cooling & Fire Suppression

The temperature of the data centre is kept at a steady 20^oC to allow optimum equipment performance.

Our incipient fire detection system monitors the room for the slightest chance of fire and allows operators to respond in the event of such a threat.
