Santander DC2

The data center at King Edward Avenue, Leicestershire, operated by Santander, is designed to meet high standards of reliability and security. The facility is equipped with a robust power infrastructure, featuring a 4.5 MVA power capacity, ensuring continuous operation. The power system includes N+1 redundancy for UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and generators, which provides an additional layer of protection against power failures.

In terms of cooling, the data center utilizes N+1 redundancy for its cooling systems, maintaining optimal temperature and humidity levels for efficient equipment performance. This redundancy ensures that even if one cooling unit fails, another is ready to take over, preventing any disruption in service.

Security is a top priority at this data center. The facility is protected by 24/7 on-site security personnel, CCTV surveillance, and biometric access controls. These measures ensure that only authorized individuals can enter the premises, safeguarding the data and equipment housed within.

Connectivity is another key aspect of the data center. It offers multiple carrier options, allowing for diverse and redundant network connections. This ensures high availability and low latency for data transmission, which is crucial for maintaining the performance and reliability of services hosted in the data center.
