When data is vital to your business, you need to know it's well protected. Our Data Centres are designed to offer the best environment for your data: they provide smart, strong security, day and night: giving you peace of mind.

THE CHALLENGE
There is increasing pressure to manage IT systems so as to provide 100% uptime. This pressure is compounded by both tighter new compliance standards, and greater demands on businesses to find the resources and finances to maintain the best possible systems.

THE SOLUTION
Our Data Centres are designed, built and operated to offer the highest possible levels of performance and resilience, and play an essential part in the services we provide to all our clients.

Major investment in our infrastructure has created the best possible environment for your data. Indeed our purpose developed Data Centres, can offer you real business benefits not just technically but commercially.

Our current facility in the centre of Aberdeen has provided 100%; uptime for our core client services since its introduction in 2001.

We also provide a comprehensive range of key supporting services including:

It will allow us to bring new levels of performance and capacity to the market, and firmly positioning IFB as a major Data Centre provider to the Scottish, UK and International collocation and hosting markets.
