Our Internet Data Center Facilities
Cisco Powered Network
Every UK ProHosts server is connected to a 100% Cisco Powered
Network. Using enterprise-class Cisco networking gear, all
routers, layer-2 switches, and layer-3 switches are tested
in labs prior to deployment to ensure stability and interoperability.
Redundant High Bandwidth Connectivity
Using only multiple Tier 1 Service Providers, UK ProHosts leads
the virtual hosting industry with our 99.9% uptime guarantee,
ensuring the highest degree of security against network downtime
and the fastest possible data transfers.
Low Bandwidth Utilization
It is a common misconception that the amounts of bandwidth
pipes differentiate web hosting companies. In fact it is not
only the size of the pipes that matters. The utilization of
our Internet connections is vital to a network's ability to
transfer data without packet loss or latency. UK ProHosts aims
to keep all connection usage below 50% to avoid any inherent
connectivity problems.
Dynamic Self-Healing Routing
UK ProHosts runs the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP4) for best
case routing. The BGP4 protocol is a standard that allows for
the routing of packets of information sent out from our network.
Each packet of information is evaluated and sent over the best
route possible. Because of our redundant network architecture,
packets may be sent via alternative routes even if they are
being delivered to the same end user. Should any one of our
providers fail, packets leaving our network are automatically
redirected through another route via a different provider.
Carrier Class
Our facility is a carrier-neutral site and is built completely
on computer-grade raised flooring; it is built for dedicated
server hosting with redundant fibre entry points.
Regulated Climate Control
The data center's HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning)
system is N+1 redundant. With full particle filtering and humidity
control, the environment is maintained at a cool 68 degrees
to ensure a comfortable environment for your server.
Power Systems
Our facilities are not reliant upon the local power grid to
guarantee maximum uptime. Our on-site, auto-switched power
generator and centralized UPS systems provide power conditioning
and ensure uninterrupted data center operation. Additionally,
the generator is regularly tested to ensure that it will continue
to function in the event of an emergency.
Datacenter Security
The data center is physically isolated from everyone but level
three technicians. Public access is strictly forbidden. Access
to the floor our datacenter resides on is restricted and completely
locked down.
