Data Centre
Here at ForLinux we view the accessibility, performance and security of your data as critically important for your business and for ours. As a result we have established strong partnerships with the UK’s major data centres, allowing us to tailor the exact hosting requirements to meet your needs and to give you total ‘peace of mind’.
All of our rigorously selected data centre partners have the required network infrastructure, power capacity and physical security you would expect. ForLinux have worked with each of these data centres over its trading life and can guarantee the highest quality service level from each.

Physical Security
All data centres feature 24×7 security systems. Customers have the protection of security barriers, 24×7x365 monitoring by on-site personnel to include verification of all persons entering the building, CCTV video camera surveillance throughout, and security breach alarms.
Access
Access to the buildings, data floors and individual areas are via individually programmed access cards, and visual identification. Whenever you swipe your card tag over the sensors to gain access to the building your digital photograph is displayed and on-site technicians verify the request before allowing access.
Standardised procedures ensure you and your nominated staff can gain access to your equipment whenever you require, day or night.
Power
Customers have access to a redundant high-capacity power supply, scalable for future expansion. Power is isolated between customers, and with Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems and stand-by diesel generators on site to ensure a resilient location for important infrastructure equipment.
Fire Detection/Suppression
Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) is installed in every facility. These highly sensitive smoke detectors, which are linked to the Building Management System and monitored continually from a network operations centre, provide very early detection to help avoid fire, loss and business disruption. This is coupled with an environmentally-friendly gas-based or water mist fire suppression system to put out fires, with minimal damage to equipment.
Air Conditioning
To ensure performance and avoid equipment failure, all data floors are managed such that air entering customers’ equipment is maintained at a controlled temperature and relative humidity.
