"Databax equipment is housed in this high security environment allowing your data to be protected to the highest standards"

Databax Data Centre 1:

Housed within the Manchester Techno Park (part of National Computing Centre) the facilities temperature is controlled to 22°C and relative humidity maintained at 45%. The centre is manned 24/7/365 to ensure a reliable service is provided.

Power to racks the racks are individually wired and breakered through 16 Amp supplies. This means that the power supply one cabinet is not at risk from other cabinet overloading a shared breaker. The UPS and diesel generator system ensure continuous power supply to the Data Centre with the capability of sustaining power for seven days. Mains provision from the National Grid is via a dual ring supply.

A full VESDA system that provides early detection of smoke is in place so that any potential fire is detected before it can develop. In the extremely unlikely event that a fire does develop an EXARO fire suppression system is in place.

The facility has 24 hours a day CCTV monitoring with motion sensor activated alarms systems (including ceiling and under floor areas).

Key Points:
Security staff are on site at all times
Computer areas are EMF and Microwave Shielded
Entry is with key card and photo card clearance only (No visitors are allowed)

Databax Data Centre 2:

Databax Data Centre 2 is located within a secure facility opened in January 2005.

The facility is powered from a main electricity board substation, this is supported by a 2MW Generator with at least 7 days supply of fuel provides us with full capability to sustain long power outages and UPS provides us with power to sustain load until the generator starts up as well as ensuring a clean electrical supply.

Air conditioning is provided by under floor cooling, the air flow directed appropriately by grilles in the floor. The capacity of the equipment is such that a failure of one unit can be handled by the other units

A full VESDA system that provides early detection of smoke is in place so that any potential fire is detected before it can develop. In the extremely unlikely event that a fire does develop a FM200 fire suppression system is in place.

The facility is secured with guards on site 24/7 with offsite backup to our primary Data Centre to deal with any major event. CCTV cameras, motion detection and a key fob access system will ensure a high level of security with multiple layers of defence.
