State-of-the-art alarms and CCTV? Check. Staffed 24/7? Check. Dual-presentation access control? Check.

Low energy, high performance

Low energy, high performance

We operate at a 1.12 PUE and are one of UK’s most energy-efficient data centres. We also make our generators available to the National Grid when they’re not being used.

Monitored 24/7

Monitored 24/7

We have trained engineers keeping an eye on all aspects of the data centre’s environment round-the-clock.

UK-based

UK-based

Our data centre and entire operation is based in the UK, so you can be sure you get the very best load times.

UK-based

Our data centre, our way

We’re proud to operate world-class data centres in the UK. Our primary data centre, purpose-built and located in the heart of the Thames Valley, is the main home of the LCN hosting platform.

Designed and built from the ground-up means we can provide the very best service and support to 100,000 happy customers.

Uptime? We’ve got it covered

Uptime? We’ve got it covered

Keeping our customers’ websites up and running is our number one priority, so we built our data centre to carry on running no matter what.

To guarantee uninterrupted power we’ve got our own substation, and if the mains electricity goes down we can flip over to our battery UPS systems and massive back-up generator. And just in case of Godzilla attacks, we’ve another data centre location we can use if it comes to the crunch.

Go green

Go green

All this tech is surprisingly green, too. We operate with 1.12 PUE and are exempt from Climate Change Levy.

We also use Ambicool which uses cold air outside the data centre to indirectly cool the hot air inside. This means we use much less power in colder months, which is better for the environment and our wallet - a saving we pass on to you with our low prices.

Data centres the LCN way…

Network and connectivity

Network and connectivity

Our servers and systems are powered by the robust Juniper MX platform to interconnect our sites, while our access network combines Juniper EX series virtual chassis and Juniper QFX virtual chassis fabrics. It provides super low latency for lightning-fast load times, oodles of bandwidth and just like our data centre, has lots of resilience built in.

Security

Security

Everyone knows how important security is and we’ve got it covered. We have all-areas CCTV, state-of-the-art alarms, and in-house information security experts keeping a watchful eye on everything 24/7.

Environment monitoring

Environment monitoring

Our Network Operations Centre is full of clever engineering types who keep a lookout over every aspect of the data centre; like power levels, temperature, humidity, smoke detection, water leaks… you name it, they look for it.

Fire suppression

Fire suppression

We use cutting edge detection technology to keep fire risks down to an absolute minimum. The VESDA system can detect even the tiniest amounts of smoke in the air, and we use inert gas IG55 fire suppressant.
