Highly scalable, highly resilient and secure platform

Nimbus utilises Tier 4 data centre facilities to act as points of presence (POPs) which serve local regions with the lowest possible latency services. Currently we are present in 2 data centres in the UK, 2 in the US and 2 in Australia. For clients in the UK we use the UK datacenters with full redundancy between sites using the latest virtualisation technologies.

Secure Facilities

• Data center access limited to data center technicians
• Biometric scanning for controlled data center access
• Unmarked facilities to help maintain low profile
• Security camera monitoring at all data center locations
• 24x7 onsite staff provides additional protection against unauthorized entry
• Physical security audited by an independent firm

Our facilities also have minimum specs as follows:

Commercial Power

• Two separate power feeds provided
• Power supplied from two separate substations. Four transformers at 3,750 KVA each.
• Four PDUs (power distribution units) each having primary and backup.
• CPS (continuous power supply) that serves each data room (N+1).

Generator

• Building can operate at 100% connected load on five HiTecs and two standby generators.
• Six PowerWave 'state-of-the-art' UPS systems continuously generating power for N+1 redundancy.
• The PowerWave system feeds redundant switchgear providing power to mission critical loads.
• Two 2-megawatt standby generators serve facility essential loads. N+1 capacity.
• One 2-megawatt stationary load bank, for bypass testing and duty cycle maintenance.

DC Power System

• 1600 AMP redundant DC battery system.

Diesel Fuel Supply

• 20,000 gallons on-site. Facility is on the emergency fuel list.

HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning)

• 3,350 tons total refrigeration capacity with N+2 redundancy (5 chillers at 670 tons each).
• 30-ton CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioner) units inside our data room.
• Five cooling towers
• Five chilled water pumps
• Five condenser water pumps
• Five chemical treatment stations

Fire Suppression

• Dry pipe, pre-action system enabled by activation of VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Alarm) and / or smoke detectors. Loss of air pressure in the pipes caused by a broken sprinkler head will cause water to discharge only if smoke detection is present.
• The system is monitored 24x7 by onsite personnel
