Cadogan House, DediPower's Reading data centre houses a 5,000sq ft high-quality data centre as well as the company's offices.  
DediPower's "Cadogan House" Data Centre
DediPower's internal network is fully redundant from the boarder routers to the final switch. We have over 32Gbps of core switching capacity meaning all servers have unrestricted 100Mb access. DediPower takes advantage of multiple connections, three independant 100Mbps and 1000Mbps circuits connect the main datacentre to diverse POPs, and an additional backup connection to our DR site. You can view full details on our network here.  
Telco and routing cage and cable management ladder
Temperature and humidity are controlled by our HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) systems and are N+1 redundant, meaning even in the event of a failure, additional systems are on standby to continue the control of the data centre environment. All air conditioning is vented under the floor and released through floor grills. Unlike many data centres, we have cooling coils present in the ceiling void which remove hot air and cool it using a chilled water system returning it to the room at the correct temperature. This unique system avoids the build-up of 'hot spots' which occur in some data centres.  
Downflow 100kW air conditioning unit and floor grill
Security is paramount to our operation as we have many mission critical and expensive equipment in both our data centres. Our primary site benefits from a high-tech CCTV and access control systems. 24/7 Security guards constantly patrol both sites to maintain an onsite 'presence' and both buildings are protected by full scale RedCare GSM alarm systems, linked directly to the police. Full proximity card access at our primary site protects the locking systems, and security code locks protect the DR site.  
CCTV cameras and internal security measures
Power to the building is supplied via an independent sub-station provisioned by Southern Electric. The power is conditioned through our UPS backup systems, and backed up by our N+1 class onsite generators. In unlikely event of a power cut, our site can maintain power via these backup generators for over 72 hours.
