Connectivity

We have multiple 100Mbs connections to the Internet from different Tier1 backbone providers and have the ability to scale easily to meet any future demand.

Our Internal ISP network runs over 100/1000Mbs switched Ethernet using Cisco Catalyst switches connected to the Level (3) backbone via Cisco 7206VXR series routers.

Level (3) has strong peering relationships in-house with the following Tier1 Telco's: BT, MCI WorldCom, Colt and more.

Physical Security

The Data Centre has multiple security levels to ensure no unauthorised access. All perimeter doors are alarmed and authorised personnel are required to have a validated palm-scan to enter. The access control system supports monitoring and logging of all entryways and all access records are stored.

Photo ID Card with PIN

Authorised personnel have a personal Photo ID card with a PIN in order to access areas where our equipment is installed.

Palm Identification System

The Palm Identification System is linked to the access card system. After swiping your access card, you place your hand in the palm scan area and enter your PIN for final authorisation.

Video Surveillance

Video surveillance cameras are located at points of entry to the server area and other secured areas within the perimeter. Video cameras are constantly monitored and stored.
