Power - Distribution Our power distribution system automatically switches from mains power to diesel generator in the event of a failure.  Power - UPS All of our servers are protected by a UPS (uninteruptible power supply) which uses batteries to provide continual clean power.
Data Centre Servers A rack of Dell servers in our Berkshire datacentre.
Fire Protection Our datacentre is protected around the clock by an advanced fire detection system.  Fire Detection There are fire detectors throughout the data floor, underneath the raised floor, and in ancillary areas. There are two types of fire detectors for maximum resilience. 
Fire Suppression Our datacentre has a gas suppression system. In the unlikely event of a fire, we can release an environmentally-friendly gas to stop the fire. 
Fire Suppression The fire suppression gas is stored in high pressure cylinders away from the server room.
