The facility is engineered for high availability, utilizing an N+1 configuration for both UPS systems and cooling to ensure continuous operation. Power reliability is further bolstered by diesel generator backups, while the environment is protected by advanced VESDA smoke detection and FM200 fire suppression systems. These mechanical and electrical redundancies allow the site to maintain a stable environment for sensitive hardware even during external utility failures.

Comprehensive Security and Compliance

Information security is a core pillar of the operation, with the facility’s Information Security Management System ISMS being ISO 27001 2013 certified by the British Standards Institute. Physical security is equally rigorous, featuring 24 7 manned onsite staff, CCTV surveillance, and multi layered access protocols including biometric controls, PAC Tag systems, and secure entry points. This defense in depth approach ensures that people, processes, and technology remain fully protected.

Carrier Neutrality and Connectivity

As a carrier neutral hub, the facility offers exceptional connectivity options with a wide array of on site providers. Established carriers include Virgin Media, BT, SSE, and Gamma, with a roadmap that has historically integrated major players like KCOM and Global Crossing. The site serves as a vital node with access to multiple Internet Exchange Points IXPs and dozens of peering networks, providing tenants with the flexibility to choose the most efficient routing for their data.

Network Resilience and Performance

The underlying network is designed for fault tolerance, utilizing a globally load balanced, multi site presence across 10 data centers in London, Manchester, and Leeds. By employing a resilient MPLS core ring to connect various points of presence PoPs, aql can offer a 100 percent availability SLA to customers connecting via three or more sites. Proactive monitoring of millions of security and performance metrics daily ensures that the application, network, and hardware layers consistently meet defined standards.

Flexible Colocation and Site Services

To accommodate diverse technical requirements, the facility offers a broad range of housing options, from shared rackspace and partial cabinets to full suites, cages, and custom footprints. Tenants benefit from 24 7 access and the availability of Remote Hands services, allowing for off site management of physical hardware. This scalability makes the facility suitable for everything from boutique deployments to large scale enterprise infrastructure.
