| Our data vaulting servers are
locked into the Web in a former NATO nuclear bunker,
hidden in a low-risk countryside area. The bunker is
situated on 18 acres of land and surrounded by concertina
wiring in Kent, England. It is an impregnable fortress,
sitting 30 metres below ground. It has concrete walls
three metres thick, steel doors weighing over two tons
which protect the servers and digital storage units
within. |
| |
| Layered on top of this physical
inaccessibility is a 24-hour watch with guard dogs,
CCTV and a series of sophisticated access controls that
offer the ultimate in protection from a myriad of attacks,
including crackers, terrorist attack, electro-magnetic
pulse, electronic eavesdropping, HERF weapons and solar
flares. |
| |
| The bunker is designed to keep
digital data available to you at all times. There are
sufficient underground diesel tanks to keep the plant
running for a solid three months without refuelling,
and dual UPS systems capable of running the entire server
facility for forty hours in the event of a power outage,
to ensure there is no interruption to service during
switchover. |
