Data Centre

Databarracks' systems are kept in some of the most secure data centres in the world. Our data centres are state-of-the-art nuclear bunkers which were designed to protect command and control systems in the event of a nuclear war. Both of our data centres are ISO27001 and PCI compliant.

Data centre door externalOur primary data centre is located in Kent, and our secondary data centre in Berkshire. Both locations are conveniently situated outside the M25, but within easy reach of London. They are classified as 'Ultra Secure' for offering a structure that protects your data from any natural or urban disaster and for meeting all the progressive regulatory requirements for data security and availability.

The Bunker is designed to keep digital data available to you at all times. The underground diesel tanks are able to keep the plant running for three months without refuelling. Additionally, dual UPS systems capable of running the entire server facility for forty hours in the event of a power outage help to ensure that there is no interruption to service during switchover.

Our online data storage solutions can bring you peace of mind as daily connection to our servers is simple and secure. Online restoration times for data are faster and more reliable than conventional backups.

The data centres are patrolled 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and are run by security experts. The security of the centres is demonstrated by the fact that other bunkers of the same design are still in use today to protect British skies in the event of an international conflict.

We provide you with free technical support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to ensure you're up and running immediately in case of disaster. You can be safe in the knowledge your data is ready when you need it.

Data centre externalOur primary data centre is both ISO27001 and PCI compliant. This impenetrable fortress is situated on 18 acres of land, outside the M25 and sits 30 metres below ground. It has concrete walls three metres thick and steel blast proof doors weighing over two tons. All systems are inside faraday cages protecting against Electro-magnetic Pulses (EMP) and tempest (digital eves-dropping). Backup and storage servers are protected by an in-rack gas fire suppression system.

There are multiple independent fibre links to the data centre entering at four separate access points to ensure data is continually streamed. This is controlled by a fault tolerant core network that can re-route information if an error occurs anywhere on the network.

Layered on top of this physical inaccessibility is a 24-hour watch with guard dogs, CCTV and a series of sophisticated access controls that offer the ultimate in protection from a myriad of attacks, including crackers, terrorist attack, electro-magnetic pulse, electronic eavesdropping, HERF weapons and solar flares.

Data centre hosting racks

In 1995 £60 million was spent renovating the site surpassing the specifications of the most resilient Tier 4 commercial data centres.

The bunker is designed to keep digital data available to you at all times. There are sufficient underground diesel tanks to keep the plant running for a solid three months without refueling, and dual UPS systems capable of running the entire server facility for forty hours in the event of a power outage, to ensure there is no interruption to service during switchover.

 

Security

Physical Security

We run our hosting operations from cold war era nuclear bunkers, which are state-of-the-art installations, purpose built with security in mind and originally constructed as an integral part of the UK's strategic communications network.

Digital Security

The experience of our technical team in providing secure cryptographic solutions, combined with the Bunkers high level of physical security and client identification procedures, offer the ultimate in protection from a myriad of attacks.

Security Culture

We advocate to all our customers a specific set of security procedures and processes, to help ensure the integrity of your systems.

Data vaulting centre infrastructure

The core principles behind the design of the data vaulting centre are resilience and redundancy, with the aim of removing all single points of failure.
