Standards and Architecture 

Cantono data centres are equivalent to Tier 3 or better.

We also recognise that, in some specific areas, clients may require higher standards. The new data centre’s modular architecture makes this possible.

Key features of site security include:

  • Fully gated and fenced with securifor ***
  • Manned 24 X 7
  • Infra red CCTV system covering the whole site
  • Laser Trip wire
  • Man trap entrances into the data hall
  • Biometric entry points to all Pods
  • Cantono’s new data centres employ unique IBM modular technology.

Key advantages include:

  • Controlled cooling airflows through Cold Aisle Containment, allowing savings of circa 30% in energy, with major financial and environmental benefits
  • The IBM Integrated Rack System (IRS) provides racks which come ready provided with power and communications points, and combine high density with great flexibility.
  • Security can be tailored to reflect your requirements including options for both enhanced access controls and additional protection against fire
  • Standard rack specifications provide the benefits of “built in” networking and power connections (greatly simplifying implementation and maintenance)

Cantono's new data centres are founded on the concept that all major components have redundancy. These include:

  • Redundant rotary diesel UPS facilities
  • Two diverse power supplies (different routes)
  • Two diverse network connections (different routes)
  • Two separate network connections (separate suppliers)
