Secure UK Data Center

The Umbrella Host data center offers a secure, resilient environment for our web hosting platform. Based in a secure facility the data center is built to an N+1 specification, so that if any particular service fails - e.g. electricity or air conditioning - another backup service automatically takes over the failed service's job.

• Power

• Dual power feeds enter the building at different points and Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) ensure that all power to the server area is clean and spike free.



• Cooling & Fire Suppression

• The temperature of the data center is kept at a steady 20oC to allow optimum equipment performance. Fire detection systems monitor the room for any sign of fire and allows operators to respond to such a situation using a variety of fire suppression techniques.
• Cisco Gigabyte Technology

• Umbrella Host 's network operates on industry-leading network equipment from Cisco Systems. All our switches and routers are developed by Cisco. Our network is based on gigabit technology, which means that it runs at a speed of 1000 Mb per second - most web hosting networks are limited to 100 Mb per second.
• 100% Dell Servers

• We use only Dell servers in our web hosting platform. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology we have built a web hosting platform that is second to none. Our platform is designed in such a way that if any server fails another server automatically and without delay takes over that server's workload. For example, if one of our mail servers breaks down another server automatically comes online, with all the correct configuration, and takes over the work of the failed server. During this period no email is lost.

• Security

• Manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week., Engineers can respond quickly and effectively to problems. Access to our data center is via Smart Card authentication and authorization only. CCTV operates throughout the facility.


• Climate Control

• The data center is fully climate controlled with N+1 Stultz DX Cybercool Air Conditioning Systems. The system monitors and controls the temperature and humidity levels. Drip sensors located below floor monitor for any leaks in the system.
• Server Specification

• Our server spec is as follows:
• Dual Intel Xeon Processor 3.4GHz with 2MB Cache
  8 GB RAM
  Dual 136 GB SCSI Drive
  RAID Mirroring
  Dual Power Supplies & Gigabit Network Adapters

• Our network also utilizes 100% CAT6 network cable, which contains four pairs of copper wire and, unlike CAT5, utilizes all four pairs. CAT6 supports Gigabit (1000 Mbps) Ethernet and supports communications at more than twice the speed of CAT5e, which is the other popular standard for Gigabit Ethernet cabling.

• Redhat Enterprise Linux OS

Our systems utilize the latest Redhat server technology to allow our servers to be continually up to date with Redhat system & security patches .Unlike many of our competitors we run Redhat Enterprise Linux, the most stable release of Redhat Linux available and the only version that keeps completely up to date with security patches.
