Data Centre
All Web Appliances are housed in a Data Centre facility worth over £10 Million pounds and provides the most secure environment for your Website. Features such as Advanced Fire Suppression Systems, Denco Environmental Climate Control, APC UPS equipment and advanced monitoring ensure that your server is online 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Backbone
All appliance servers are connected to the Internet via multiple connections to the Internet from high quality backbone providers. We currently have 120mb of bandwidth and an additional 155mb available "on tap" to cope with future demand.

IP Management
If required we can provide advanced IP management solutions: Common Examples:- IP load balancing at router level (for example, if you have two servers we can automatically split requests between them), fail-over support (if your primary server fails we can route requests to a backup server) etc. If you require more information please contact sales@fast-name.co.uk

Port filtering and security: We can assist you with your server's security strategy. For example, we can automatically block certain ports on your server at the router level or we can block certain IP addresses from accessing your server.
