SLA Data Centre Hosting

The service connects client equipment to our high speed resilient IP network, meeting all environmental, power and connectivity needs.  And our knowledgeable and dedicated team provide excellent customer service and support, thus reducing troubleshooting time and maximising operational efficiency:

  • Business Continuity (Disaster Recovery) – with the choice of hot or cold standby
  • Server Hosting
  • Projects (short and/or long-term) for single or between multiple institutions

To save clients having to visit our Data Centres, we have options that allow clients to access their equipment remotely:

  • remotely accessible console (Keyboard, mouse & video) for ‘out of band’ management
  • remotely accessible Power Distribution Units (PDUs) to allow clients to power cycle equipment, and
  • when physical intervention is needed, a remote ‘hands and eyes’ service is provided.

If on-site intervention is still required, we can arrange out-of-hours access to our Data Centres.
