If you need a data center facility in the UK, then City Lifeline is the perfect solution. We’re a Tier 3, carrier-neutral colocation data center in the heart of the UK’s capital. And with our combination of location, connectivity, security and service - there’s no need to look anywhere else:
Location
London is at the heart of the world’s internet backbone and is also home to more than half of the UK’s data centers - so it’s clear to see why so many international businesses choose it for their colocation services. It’s also just outside the ‘Ring of Steel’, a central London exclusion zone which comes into force when there is a major emergency in London. So whatever the situation, your UK-based staff can get to your equipment whenever they need to. Lastly, with City Lifeline, they will also have access to great parking facilities - making installations, upgrades and repairs easy to arrange and manage.
Connectivity
If you’re choosing a UK data center, connectivity and carrier options are always going to be at the top of the ‘requirements’ list. And for connectivity there’s no better place than central London, as it’s the only UK city where such a high volume of international fibre-optic cables terminate, which is a key advantage when it comes to issues around carrier choice and latency. Being close to others operating in London is a also another big advantage, as it makes dark fibre connections to other carriers or businesses a possibility. And as we are carrier neutral, you’ll also have the ability to negotiate the best pricing, and change carriers if needed.
Security
When you’re not in the same country, or even the same continent, as your data center - knowing that its security is of the highest possible standard is a huge plus. At City Lifeline, access is only possible through biometric fingerprint scanners, and is granted by security staff on a daily basis to specific, controlled areas of the facility. Meanwhile, complete external CCTV monitoring and floodlighting is installed and CCTV is recorded for evidence and analysis purposes, with out-of-hours movements being detected and alerted by automatic analysis of the camera images and by separate electronic movement sensors.
Service
As an independent and privately owned central London Data Centre, we are small and agile enough to be flexible and to get to know our customers personally, wherever they are in the world! But we’re also large enough to invest in the plant, equipment, services and people needed to run a first-class data center. We extensive industry experience gained over many years and our customers have told us that we’re helpful, accommodating and very easy to work with, which is partly due to our unusually high degree of staff longevity and continuity.
So in summary, our central London location and proven technology infrastructure, coupled with our top notch security and the deep industry knowledge of our people, is what makes City Lifeline the perfect choice for your UK data center requirements.
