Our Facilities

At the heart of Terafirma are our Twin Site Tier III Data Centres. One Data Centre located at the Facilities Management Centre (FMC) which forms the building block for the infrastructure – a highly resilient central hub. A mirror of this facility is also located at Russells Hall Hospital, connected with a 10GB link. The Data Centre at FMC is a Tier III solution, with contingency for loss of power to the building, loss of cooling and any power interruptions. It is in a secure location and is protected from fire, with further resiliency in the form of a back-up generator, capable of taking the ‘full Data Centre' load. Services within the primary site are also duplicated with 2 x core network switches interconnected, 2 x Storage Area Networks and multiple servers, with failover connections, providing high level redundancies.
