By Tim Parker | | Blog
If you are looking for IT outsourcing London should by rights be the best place to go for it. At Syntax we have dedicated ourselves to ensuring that large companies have all of their needs met, particularly if these are business critical systems we are talking about. This is why we have invested in one of the best data centres in the country which can ensure that your business is always operating to full capacity. Data centres are important, particularly when it comes to effective back up services that will allow you to restore your business if the worst case scenario occurs. Disaster recovery might sound overzealous but the fact is that serious incidents do happen for one reason or another, and the larger your organisation is, the more likely it is to happen. Our data centre is a high capacity Tier III facility which should provide you with the ultimate peace of mind.
Some businesses might be concerned about sharing all of their operations with an outside source, but you can be assured that these facilities simply wouldn’t exist without proper and proven measures already being in place. This doesn’t just mean all of the software security measures in place to deal with hackers and viruses, it means ensuring that your data is protected in a physical sense come what may. Business critical systems must be infallible to disasters themselves, which means being able to withstand issues like significant water ingress in the case of flooding or power loss. Data centres also create an alarming amount of heat, putting pressure on both the power systems and the air conditioning. Fortunately our air conditioning solutions themselves have failsafe redundancies so it the chances of overheating are reduced as much as possible. This brings us onto fire which in itself is always a significant risk when electronics are involved. Our Argonite fire suppression system is online around the clock while we also have a VESDA system which can detect smoke particles at the earliest opportunity.
Physical security must be maintained because all of the data we store here is vital and critical. Proximity card entry grants access to authorised personnel only while each rack requires an individual key. As you would expect, the entire area is overlooked around the clock by CCTV, which is maintained for 30 days.
Business backup is nothing without the connectivity to make it happen as quickly as possible. This is why our data centre is on the LMN PoP – the London Metropolitan Network Point of Presence which means dual 10 Gbps circuits feed into our facility along with connections to SuperJANET5. We also offer you commercial connections through Viatel’s STM4 connection as well as separate WES100 backup services.
All of this adds up to a disaster recovery solution that one of the most reliable in the business. All of your data will be stored here and will be restored from here when necessary. For business critical systems, this enterprise grade solution will ensure you are always in the game.
