- Bandwidth upgrades are possible at short notice.
- Our own upstream connectivity is currently at 50% of its capacity, while most ISP's run at around 70% capacity.

- Your bandwidth is capable of bursting, which means you can 'burst' above your allocated bandwidth at times of unexpected demand at no extra cost.
- Direct LAN access is available via modem, ISDN, ADSL or Leased Line.
Customer servers are hosted in our advanced NOC (Network Operations Center) in London's
docklands, close to Canary Wharf and connected to Telehouse via a 6 Gigabit link, which ensures
connection to the heart of the UK Internet infrastructure, and robust service. In addition we can
provide monitoring of your leased line and router upon request, with alerts sent to you via email or even SMS.
Pricing is calculated according to space to taken in our racks to house your server, plus the
connectivity (bandwidth) required for the services you intend to run.
The standard industry measurement for rackspace is per 'U'. Racks are 19 inches wide, and 1 U is a
measurement of height roughly equivalent to 1 3/4 inches. So if you have a standard rack-mountable server,
it may be 1, 2, 3 or more U high. We strongly recommend purchasing rack-mountable servers, as they will
be cheaper for you to co-locate, and are designed with 'headless' or 'lights-out' operation in mind. This
means they are more easily manageable remotely, and are not usually connected to a monitor or
keyboard. In addition they usually run with more powerful cooling systems which make them more
stable for longer periods of uptime.
We are able to provide compact but high-performance Intel 1U and 2U (with RAID) servers -
