many other transit providers lies in our high

the ultimate in network performance. All our
core network locations have multiple routers
and switches to ensure hardware redundancy.
All our switches run at wire speed and our
core routers are capable of over 20Gbps capacity.
We utilise the Foundry MRP protocol which
provides sub 50ms failover time in the event
of fibre or equipment failure.
Our core routers are distributed across
multiple facilities and floors in the datacenters
to protect against facility downtime. Each
facility has a high power and security SLA.
Every facility also is connected by multiple
connections and is connected to or by our
London MetroRing.

| Monitoring |
The Connexions 4 London network
is monitored 24x7x365. As soon as a customer’s
port drops or something out of the norm happens
on the network our engineers are notified
immediately via email and SMS. We can instantly
see what that problem is and work to resolve
it.
If a customer’s port does drop or
starts recording errors, then they will
be notified as soon as possible to let them
know they have a problem with their connection.
We will then work with the customer to see
if it is a problem at their end or a problem
on the port. If it is their end, we can
then help them to get their equipment back
online.
We can offer an additional monitoring service
where the customer is notified immediately
via SMS of any problems on their port.

video camera surveillance and a security breach
alarm provides the control room with information.
|
| Access |
Access to the buildings,
data floors and individual area’s
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.
We look after you, but never obstruct you:
common-sense procedures ensure you and your
nominated staff can quickly gain access
to your equipment whenever you require,
day or night without compromise. |
| Power |
Our policy guarantees all
our customers a redundant high-capacity,
stable and reliable power supply, with easy
scalable expansion in the future. A minimum
of 1Kw per square metre secure power is
available, with power isolated between customer
and maintained indefinitely, plus on-site
generation which can deal with both customer
and plant load whilst recharging the UPS.
All our facilities are built to at least
an N+1 standard; put simply, this means
that if two generators are required to provide
non-stop power, then there’ll be three
installed. So rather than guaranteeing 99.99%
availability, the guarantee is 100%. |

Suppression Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus
(VESDA) is installed in every 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 BMS. |
| Building Management System

that monitor and remotely operate sensors
covering electrical, mechanical, fire detection
and leak detection systems. |
