Node4 Ltd (Node4 Derby) Data Center

The Node4 Derby data centre serves as a premier colocation hub, strategically situated at the company’s headquarters in the Midlands. Its proximity to major transport links, specifically just five minutes from Junction 25 of the M1, makes it an easily accessible site for businesses across the UK. The facility boasts a substantial footprint of 6,500 square feet, approximately 1,486 square metres of whitespace, providing a total capacity of 300 to 330 racks distributed across four independent data halls to ensure efficient space management.

To guarantee high availability for critical digital assets, the site is equipped with 2.5 MVA of fully built out power. The infrastructure is designed with N+1 redundancy across its Uninterruptible Power Supply systems and standby generator backups. This Tier 2 design ensures that even in the event of a primary power failure, the data centre maintains continuous operations, protecting hardware and data integrity for all tenants.

Climate and fire safety are managed through sophisticated environmental systems tailored for high density computing. The facility utilises N+1 DX cooling to maintain optimal operating temperatures and prevent hardware overheating. For fire protection, the data centre is outfitted with a dual suppression system featuring FM200 and IG55 gas, which are designed to extinguish fires quickly without damaging sensitive electronic equipment.

Security is a core priority at the Derby facility, which features a multi layered approach to site protection. The perimeter is secured with specialised fencing and monitored by constant CCTV surveillance. Entry is strictly regulated via photo ID verification, and the site is protected twenty four hours a day by on site manned security staff. These measures, combined with ISO27001 certification and DSS PCI compliance, ensure a highly secure environment for sensitive corporate data.

The data centre acts as a vital Point of Presence on the MPLS network, offering high speed dedicated internet connections for its users. This robust connectivity framework allows for seamless integration into wider corporate networks and ensures low latency data transfer. Whether a client requires a full cabinet, partial cabinet, or shared rackspace, the underlying network architecture supports a variety of colocation and managed hosting needs.

Beyond providing space and power, Node4 offers a suite of professional services managed by an on site support team. Clients can leverage Remote Hands and Eyes for physical troubleshooting, as well as managed cabling and general infrastructure support. With four tenants currently offering colocation services on site, the facility provides a collaborative and well supported ecosystem for businesses looking to outsource their data centre requirements.
