Datanet AHF Fleet Data Centre

Our Fleet HQ Data Centre is a high-powered, cost-effective energy efficient environment, ideal for business class hosting. We manage the core infrastructure of your distributed cloud network via resilient links to our other Data Centres. Completed in late 2010 using the latest cold aisle cooling technologies and energy efficient transformerless UPS this is Datanet's flagship data centre. If you need a London data centre without the risks and congestion with multiple fibre links back in to key London tele houses then call us now on 01252 810010.


As well as being ISO27001 & ISO9001 certified Datanet uses power from 100% renewable resources, you can view a link to the certificate further down the page. Currently the Fleet data centre is becoming IL2 and PCI accredited. Unlike many other data centres we own our own facility and we have our own VMware, Linux and Cisco engineers on site. We have meeting rooms that you can use for data migrations and initial data seeds and we are happy to do data centre tours for you and your customers. We also have a full suite of connectivity solutions starting with private DSL terminated in your rack through to EFM and fibre all the way up to 10Gb.
