TechMarketView had been tracking Datum for many years. When Kate Hanaghan from TechMarketView requested to take a look around our Farnborough facility, we were pleased to welcome her. This article (reproduced with permission from TechMarketView) summarises Kate’s impressions of our colocation business.
Why do it? What are the benefits? And how to ensure it goes smoothly?
At Datum, we take physical and logical security extremely seriously, which is why we’ve implemented some of the most advanced and robust security measures seen at any building in the country.
Datum has built a robust and high performance network to provide clients with highly resilient, high performance connectivity with enterprise service levels and SLAs.
We make sure that all our clients have access to inclusive support from our team of dedicated experts, based right here at our Manchester data centre.
Datum cloud is active-active, as standard. With automatic failover and an RTO/RPO of near zero, our cloud platform gives you built-in disaster recovery, as standard — a truly resilient enterprise cloud solution.
Active-active architectures eliminate the risk of downtime by making it possible for your online assets to be served from separate, synchronised hosting environments at any given time.
But how does this work behind the scenes?
This enterprise-grade facility boasts 22,000ft2 of technical space across five data halls, and features an on-site police-linked NSI Gold Approved Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC).
