Telecity Sovereign House

Telecity RedbusTelecity Sovereign House is located in London's Docklands and is a primary site for LINX, the London Internet Exchange. Unlike other Datacentres in the area it was purpose built as a Datacentre (as opposed to being a converted office building) and is the newest and in our view among the best specified amongst the major London Docklands Datacentres.

Physical Security

The datacentre features comprehensive 24/7 security to keep your equipment safe. This means the protection of security barriers, 24x7x365 monitoring by on-site personnel to include visual verification of all persons entering the building, CCTV video camera surveillance and a security breach alarm provides the control room with information.

Access

Access to the building, data floors and individual areas are via individually programmed Proximity Access Cards (PAC), usage of the PAC is logged centrally by time and date. The cards cannot be used by anyone else, whenever you swipe your card tag over the sensors to gain access to the building, your digital photograph will be displayed on our security systems which are continuously monitored by our on-site technicians. The technicians will then verify the information and only when satisfied, allow access.

Power

The building features high-capacity, stable and reliable power supply. Power is isolated between customer and maintained indefinitely, plus on-site generation which can deal with both customer and plant load whilst recharging the UPS. The facility is built to N+1 standard; put simply, this means that if two generators are required to provide non-stop power, then there'll be three installed.

Fire Detection/Suppression

Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) is installed in the facility. These highly sensitive aspirating smoke detectors are linked to the Building Management system which is monitored continually from a network operations centre, provide very early detection to help avoid fire, loss and business disruption. This is coupled with a gas based fire retardant that is environmentally friendly, to put out fires instantly, without damaging equipment.

Air Conditioning

To ensure optimum performance, all data floors are maintained at a constant 21°C ± 2°C and relative humidity is kept at 50% ± 10%. Both are continually monitored via the Building Management System.
