The Technical Blurb:

HP BL460c Blade servers, running Intel Xeon 5650 (Nehalem) processors.

The C7000 Blade chassis are highly resilient with multiple power supplies, fans and network switches. 

The blades are configured in N+1 meaning there is always spare hardware available in the event of a failure.

Storage is provisioned on our Dell EqualLogic iSCSI SAN units configured in RAID10. 

The Dell EqualLogic units run 15K RPM SAS drives to ensure the ultimate in IO performance. 

They also have dual power suppliers and dual heads in active passive failover mode to ensure uptime.

Servers use ESX4.0 Enterprise running all of the high availability features including:

- HA – High Availability – in the event of hardware failure, Cloud Instances are rebooted onto another physical host in the cluster.

- DRS – Cloud Instances are automatically and seamlessly moved between physical hosts according to resource requirements and availability.

- vMotion – the ability to move live Cloud Instances between physical hosts for maintenance.

- N+1 redundancy in all systems.

- Data centre power systems have multiple generators with backups, fed by multiple power feeds, all protected by parallel redundant UPS with battery backup.

- Data centre Environments are kept stable using full data-grade HVAC systems with N+1 redundancy, to maintain constant ambient air temperature and humidity.

- Other protection systems include early warning fire detection systems, plus fire suppression systems.

- Multiple layer card access and video and human surveillance maintain comprehensive physical security, along with security staff who are on 24/7/365.
