How cloud storage works

Backup and archive

Three copies of what matters, on two kinds of media, one of them away from the building. We run the jobs and check them.

Nightly backup

Your servers in our racks or your office, copied to the backup appliance every night.

Second copy

Replicated to storage nodes in the other hall within the hour.

Archive

Written to tape each Friday; one set leaves the site for a fire safe (sample).

Restore tests

One file restore tested every month and reported to you in writing.

Cooling

Cold aisles closed in with doors and a roof; inlet air kept at 18 to 27 °C (sample).

Network

Two carriers in separate ducts; a meet-me room for cross-connects (sample).

Access

Card and PIN at three doors, cameras on every aisle, guards on site day and night (sample).

Fire

Smoke detection under the floor and in the ceiling, gas suppression in each hall (sample).

Moving in

Most moves take two weeks from the signed quote to your servers answering on our network (sample).

1

Quote and rack plan

You tell us the equipment and power; we send a quote and a rack elevation with your units marked.

2

Units reserved

Your units are held for you, hatched on the rack plan, from the day you sign.

3

Delivery to the loading bay

Ship it or bring it in a van; we sign for it and keep it in a locked cage.

4

Rack and stack

Our engineers fit it to the plan, or you do it yourself on a booked visit.

5

Live

Power on A and B, network patched, and a photo of your rack sent to you.

Questions before you move in

How much power do I need?

Add up the power figures on your servers’ labels and take about 60% of it for normal running. A typical 1U server uses 0.15 to 0.3 kW; we measure your rack for the first month and tell you.

Can I get to my servers at night?

Yes. Customers with a quarter rack or more get a card and PIN for day and night access. 1U customers book a visit, or ask remote hands.

Is the cloud storage S3-compatible?

Yes. Use the S3 tools and backup software you already have; point them at our endpoint with the keys from your account.

Where is my data kept?

Only in our two halls in Springfield, unless you ask for tape copies off site. We never move it to another company’s cloud (sample).

What if a drive fails in a storage node?

Each object is kept in two halls, and every node rebuilds a failed drive from the other copies. You do not notice; we swap the drive.

Notes from the operations desk

Come and walk the floor

Visits take about 45 minutes: the cold aisles, the power room and the rack you would use. Bring photo ID; we sign you in at the gate (sample).
