Secure data centre

At DV8 Media, the technology that brings your email communication to life is fully-optimised and protected in two secure data centres.

If you're looking to outsource your email system to a more reliable, cost-efficient provider, we provide email facilities that rival blue-chip organisations.

The ultimate internet environment

Based in Gloucester, in the heart of England, the two secure data centres house thousands of the latest web and email hosting servers, maintained 24x7 by an expert team of engineers.

Every possible consideration is made for our servers to operate to their full potential, so they can deliver the highest possible levels of uptime and security.

• The latest technology – Exchange mail servers, plus thousands of the latest Microsoft Windows 2003 and Linux web servers.
• Unrivalled connectivity - plugged directly to the backbone of the internet, every server enjoys a fully redundant Tier 1 connection so our customers never experience slow-down or service interruptions.

The safest place for your email - Ultimate security

Data centre access is strictly limited to security-cleared personnel, controlled by extensive CCTV monitoring and state-of-the-art access control systems.

• CCTV covers all areas of the data centre and corporate offices.
• Highly experienced security guards on duty 24x7x365.
• Access control requiring swipe-card, multiple digit PIN, finger-print plus accurate weight matching, ensuring absolutely no access to unauthorised personnel.

Climate controlled environment

Extensive environmental controls are employed to make sure our servers work to their full potential and deliver high performance day-in, day-out.

• Our servers are part of a multi-million pound Denco system, which ensures that the data centre climate is monitored and adjusted to perfection at all times.
• Top of the line air-conditioning units.
• Humidity analysers and accurate temperature monitors.
• Fire suppression equipment – if the worst should happen, FM-200 gas is discharged within just 2 seconds to suppress the affected area.

Uninterruptible power supply

The data centres use the most advanced APC X UPS system available, providing uninterruptible power to all servers. In the case of a power outage, the power supply is switched instantly (with absolutely no interruption) to a diesel generator capable of running the data centres for 30 days.

Monitoring

In addition to the sophisticated monitoring systems, there is a team of expert engineers monitoring the data centres 24 hours a day, ensuring that any potential issues with the platform are prevented before they can even happen.
