OUR UK DATA CENTRES
Secure infrastructure. Protected by design.
HDUK's systems are hosted across two highly secure UK data centre facilities, providing the resilient infrastructure behind our hosted services.
Originally designed as nuclear bomb-proof command and control bunkers, the facilities combine reinforced physical protection with resilient power, connectivity, environmental controls and multiple layers of digital security.

PHYSICAL SECURITY
Built to protect critical infrastructure
Our data centres were purpose-built as reinforced nuclear bomb-proof bunkers, originally designed to protect command and control systems in the event of an attack. Today, that physical infrastructure provides an exceptionally secure environment for the systems and services hosted within the facilities.
ENVIRONMENT
A controlled environment around the clock
Protecting technology requires more than restricting physical access. The facilities use multiple environmental controls designed to protect critical infrastructure and maintain stable operating conditions.
Dual air conditioning units with N+1 resilience.
Fire suppression systems
CCTV and 24-hour recording.
Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) protection.
TEMPEST protection against electronic eavesdropping.
RFI intrusion protection.
Infrared cameras.
POWER & INTERNET
Built for continuous availability
Reliable hosted services depend on both resilient power and dependable connectivity. HDUK's data centre facilities use multiple layers of redundancy to reduce reliance on individual power or connectivity providers.
POWER
Multiple power feeds
UPS conditioned power with N+1 resilience
Diesel generator backup with N+1 resilience
Connectivity
Multiple high-capacity fibre providers
Carrier-neutral facilities
Multiple Internet Service Providers
DIGITAL RESILIENCE
Multiple layers of technical protection
The physical and environmental security of the facilities is supported by resilient server, storage, network and security infrastructure. HDUK's current infrastructure includes:
Multiple servers, switches and storage systems
Multiple firewalls and perimeter security controls
Intrusion prevention and content filtering
Backup and replication of systems and services between data centre facilities
Redundant storage architecture
Clustered servers and services
Automatic failover capabilities
Resilience across our data centre environment
HDUK uses backup and replication across its hosted infrastructure to help protect customer environments and support business continuity.
The current HDUK environment includes replication of systems and services between its data centre facilities, providing an additional layer of resilience should an issue affect individual infrastructure or a location.

STANDARDS & COMPLIANCE
Security backed by recognised standards
HDUK's existing data centre information identifies both facilities as compliant with the following standards, which complement the physical environmental and technical secunty measures protecting the facilities.
ISO 27001 compliant
Recognised international standards relating to tinformation security management systems.
PCI DSS compliant
Security standards relating to the environments in which payment card data is processed, stored or transmitted.
Serious infrastructure for business-critical technology
Most customers will never need to think about the physical infrastructure behind their hosted services — and that's exactly how it should be.
Behind the scenes, physical security, environmental protection, resilient power, multiple connectivity providers, backup, replication and redundant infrastructure work together to provide a secure and resilient foundation for HDUK's hosted services.
For our customers, that means greater confidence in the technology their people and businesses depend on.
