UK Network - Updated December 2009

All of our UK Based servers are now located in the "Centro Data Center".

Conveniently located close to the M1 and M25, the facility is set within a secure 50,000 sq ft compound and has 3MVA of HV power through redundant supplies, and multiple fibre providers on-site. The facility has been fitted out to a high specification, with all infrastructure installed with a minimum of N+1 redundancy, and certain key elements at 2N. A state-of-the-art IP CCTV system and access control system provides security, including man-traps and biometric iris scanners.

The facility uses highly energy efficient design principles, with enclosed rack hot aisle containment and economical chilled water cooling allowing standard rack densities of 4kW, rising up to a maximum of 24kW. Colocation space is available from individual racks up to private suites, complemented by a wide range of connectivity and management services. All power, cooling and connectivity services are covered by comprehensive 100% uptime Service Level Agreements.

We currently house 1 rack of equipment in this facility. Latency to Telehouse Exchange is around 0.6ms making Centro the ideal location for our gaming services.

Our UK Based networking is provided by KillerCreations.

KillerCreation operates it's own multi homed BGP network with direct fiber connections to global provider Tinet and UK Tier 1 provider Telewest. In addition, partial peering is provided by Entanet and Goscomb Technologies and private peering with NTL.

Each of our five transit providers are connected via single-mode or multi-mode fiber and terminated using 1000Mps SX or LH optics. Fiber is used exclusively throughout our Cisco only network providing our customers with arguably the lowest latency gaming network in the UK today.
