Cambridge Colocation Hosting
From our Cambridge Datacentre, Netservers run our own diversely routed BGP network into our core London network PoPs in Telehouse East, Digital Realty Meridian Gate and Equinix Harbour Exchange. Over this network we can offer Dedicated Server, Virtual Private Servers (VPS) and co-location hosting at all sites.
Background
Since 1998 Netservers have offered a server colocation service at our Cambridge facility. This service began with a single server we were asked to put online by one of our regular customers. Although never promoted in it own right, between 1998 and 2009 this service continued to grow and has been very successful. Prior to our expansion in 2010, the growth of this facility had been constrained by a lack of available floor space.
Our customers
Our colocation facility is well placed for companies based in Cambridgeshire and the surrounding East Anglia counties of Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. However, over the years we have taken on customers from across the whole UK and beyond. These range from web design companies, to Voice over IP providers, to multi-nationals and one-man start-ups. Some of these customers also host servers with us in London datacentres. These are a few of the factors our customers say influenced their decision to host their servers with us:
- Unlike other hosting facilities, Netservers only employ knowledgeable and highly skilled engineers
- We are very flexible and are happy to tailor the services we offer to suit the requirements of our customers
- Netservers have a workshop on-site for carrying our server repairs and component replacements
- Many customers prefer to host their servers outside of London for various reasons including accessibility and diversity
Our Cambridge facility
In February 2010 Netservers purchased two additional buildings adjacent to our existing offices. These buildings were acquired specifically to enhance and extend our Cambridge colocation facility. With the additional floor space and power that is now available, we are now in a position to provide a much improved service which offers an overall increase in specification and greater resilience.
