Express Hosting UK take pride in offering a resilient network, from our hardware to our software no expenses have been spared. Our network equipment and servers are of the highest quality from world renowned manufacturers including Cisco Systems, Hewlett Packard and Dell. Utilising state-of-the-art technology we have built a fully redundant and high performance infrastructure.
Dual Intel Xeon 5000 Series Processors - Some of the fastest 64-bit processors available on the market today. The Intel Xeon 5000 series of processors feature quad core technology, giving the server a total of 8 cores for maximum performance and reliability.
8GB+ DDR2 Memory - Servers require large amounts of fast memory, our shared servers have a minimum of 8GB DDR2 RAM, however as we add more and more services we have the scalability to upgrade all servers to a maximum of 64GB.
High Speed SAS Drives - All servers come with a minimum of 4 SAS drives running at 15,000 rpm in a RAID10 array ensuring your data is kept save and accessible at all times.
Dual Power Supplies - Dual power supplies are a great feature for any server, one of the common causes for downtime is faulty or overloaded power supplies. Having redundant supplies eliminates this problem.
Dual Gigabit NICs - All servers feature dual 10/100/1000mpbs network cards with enhanced load balancing and redundancy protecting servers from link and switch failures. 
The datacentre features a 2.0 megawatt on-site substation to deal with the huge power consumption, as well as providing plenty of room for future expansion. Diverse power feeds enter the substation from multiple providers ensuing no single outage will bring down the datacentre.
BlueSquare have two main fibre duct points into building, connecting us to many of the docklands datecentres including; Telehouse East (home of the London Internet Exchange), TelecityGroup Harbour Exchange and TelecityGroup Sovereign House.
Simply put, we have multiple connections to the Internet with different backbone providers therefore should any connection fail our other connections automatically take all the traffic. Not only does this mean that we are very unlikely to lose connectivity to the Internet, but it also means that traffic moving to and from our network can choose from a range of paths to get to its final destination. This means that we have been able to configure the network always to take the fastest paths.
The datacentre is located inside its own secure compound, with 3-metre fencing and electric entry, including anti-tailgate systems.
The temperature of the data centre is kept at a steady ~22°C (+/- 2°C) to allow optimum equipment performance by our Airedale Air Handling system (N+1 Redundant).
BlueSquare use the FM200 dry fire-suppression system in all data centre areas. The system ensures that there is no preventative damage to your equipment should there be an unlikely fire on the datacentre floor.
