Our primary POP is a newly built facility named ‘SOTA’ and is based within Kent, South East England. Our office is little over 30 mins away from the site allowing us to make regular visits. Furthermore, for peace of mind, we have contracts in place to have engineers onsite within minutes should an emergency ever occur, regardless of the time!

Redundant Power
SOTA provide us a redundant, high-capacity, stable and reliable power supply with easy scalable expansion in the future. Power is isolated between racks and maintained indefinite. The facility use high specification UPS units to maintain the entire building power should the mains grid fail and high specification on-site generators which can deal with both customer and plant load whilst recharging the UPS.

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 by the electronic building management system which also monitors and remotely operates sensors covering electrical, mechanical, fire detection and leak detection systems.

Fire Detection/Suppression
Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) has been installed at SOTA.
These highly sensitive smoke detectors are linked to the Building Management system which is pro-actively monitored from a network operations centre. This system provides very early detection to help avoid fire, loss and business disruption. This coupled with an FM200 gas based fire retardant that is environmentally friendly enables fires to be put out instantly without damaging equipment.
