- Intuitive have high speed network connections to several tier one backbone providers. We take a balanced approach to our connectivity and complement our Transatlantic carriers with those that have a more European focus.
- Safe, Secure, Reliable
- Our Network operations Centre (NOC) is located within one of the countries leading dedicated data centres which boast’s an impressive range of features. The data centre operates a computerised building management system that monitors and remotely operates sensors covering electrical, mechanical, fire detection and leak detection systems.
100% guaranteed power back up, climate control, sophisticated security measures and independent choice of connectivity providers, ensures that we can offer you the choice, control and resilience required to guarantee availability for your servers.
- Physical Security
- When it comes to security, we refuse to compromise. With a totally comprehensive 24/7 security system to keep your equipment 100% safe. This means our customers have the protection of security barriers, 24x7x365 monitoring by on-site personnel to include visual verification of all persons entering the building, CCTV video camera surveillance and a security breach alarm provides the control room with information. Even on the data floor your equipment is housed within 19” network cabinets each fitted with a combination lock front and rear.
- Access
- Access to the buildings, data floors and individual area’s are via individually programmed Proximity Access Cards (PAC), usage of the PAC is logged centrally by time and date. The cards cannot be used by anyone else, whenever a tag is swiped over the sensors to gain access to the building, a digital photograph will be displayed on the security systems which are continuously monitored by on-site technicians. The technicians will then verify the information and only when satisfied, allow access.
- Power
- With a redundant, high-capacity, stable and reliable power supply Mains power is 100% guaranteed. A minimum of 1Kw per square metre secure power is available, with power isolated between NOC’s and maintained indefinitely, plus on-site generation which can deal with both customer and plant load whilst recharging the UPS.
The data centre is built to at least an N+1 standard; put simply, this means that if two generators are required to provide non-stop power, then there’ll be three installed. So rather than guaranteeing 99.99% availability, the guarantee is 100%.
- Fire Detection/Suppression
- Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) is installed throughout the data centre. These highly sensitive aspirating smoke detectors are linked to the Building Management system which is monitored continually from a network operations room, provide very early detection to help avoid fire, loss and business disruption. This is coupled with a gas based fire retardant that is environmentally friendly, to put out fires instantly, without damaging equipment.
- Air Conditioning
- To ensure optimum performance, all data floors are maintained at a constant 21°C ± 2°C and relative humidity is kept at 50% ± 10%. Both are continually monitored via the Building Management System.
