The Facility
The IDC (Internet Data Centre) is a purpose-built,
highly secure facility operating 24 hours a

redundancy and fail-over capability.

the resulting load on backup systems is
managed with no reduction in performance
levels.

-
Fully integrated building management system
for smoke, fire and water detection, electrical
