iomart hosting (iomart Central London) Data Center

iomart hosting distinguishes itself through a commitment to total ownership. Unlike many managed hosting providers that rely on third party facilities, iomart owns and manages its five UK data centres directly. By eliminating middlemen, they ensure that mission critical systems are protected by an end to end managed experience. This approach removes single points of failure and provides clients with the peace of mind necessary to focus on their core business operations.

The technical backbone of these facilities is designed for maximum reliability, featuring N plus one redundancy across UPS systems, cooling, and standby power. The infrastructure supports a high density of 75 kW per square metre, ensuring that even the most demanding hardware remains operational. These environmental controls are backed by a 100 percent uptime guarantee for power and cooling, reflecting a Tier 3 design philosophy focused on concurrent maintainability.

Security is handled with a multi layered approach to ensure data integrity and physical safety. The sites are purpose built, sole tenant facilities protected by 24 hour onsite security staff and comprehensive CCTV surveillance. Access is strictly regulated through card access control systems, ensuring that only authorised personnel can enter the premises, thereby maintaining a highly secure environment for sensitive hardware.

To protect against environmental hazards, the data centres utilise sophisticated fire safety technology. The facilities are equipped with a dual zone fire detection system designed to identify potential threats early. In the event of an emergency, an Inergen gas suppression system, a dry clean agent solution, is deployed to extinguish fires without damaging delicate electronic components or leaving behind residue.

Connectivity is a core component of the iomart service, supported by a 100 percent network uptime guarantee. The infrastructure includes a dedicated Meet Me Room, providing a central point for cross connects and high speed data exchange. With seven peering networks and two major network providers onsite, clients benefit from diverse routing options and low latency connections essential for modern digital business.

Quality and security standards are validated by a comprehensive suite of international certifications. The facilities are Tier 3 certified and adhere to rigorous compliance frameworks, including ISO 27001 for information security, ISO 9001 for quality management, and DSS PCI for secure payment card processing. Additionally, they hold ISO 22301 for business continuity and ISO 50001 for energy management, demonstrating a strong commitment to reliability and sustainability.

With a total building size of 1,517 square metres, the data centres offer a variety of space configurations, ranging from shared rackspace and partial cabinets to full suites and private cages. Beyond physical space, the 24 hour onsite Network Operations Centre team provides Remote Hands support, ensuring that technical expertise is always available to handle hardware maintenance or troubleshooting at any time.
