Not all data centre sustainability claims are equal. Here is the real difference between engineered efficiency (rainwater cooling, on-site solar) and offset-based marketing claims, measured through PUE.
Rack sizing decisions are usually made on gut feel and get revisited within a year. Here is how to size a colocation deployment properly against U space, power draw and growth headroom.
UK GDPR and data sovereignty questions get harder to answer cleanly the more your infrastructure spans regions and jurisdictions. Here is why UK-based colocation simplifies that picture.
London gets picked by default for UK colocation, often on an outdated latency assumption. Here is a genuine comparison of London and regional UK data centres on latency, power and cost.
DR planning gets deprioritised until the first serious incident. Here is a practical framework for UK SMEs built around two numbers: RPO and RTO, and why backup alone is not disaster recovery.
DDoS protection is a baseline requirement for colocated infrastructure now, not an add-on. Here is how volumetric, protocol and application-layer attacks are actually mitigated.
ISO 27001 gets referenced constantly in procurement and due diligence, often without explanation. Here is what the certification actually covers, how it is audited, and what it does not guarantee.
Two hosting providers can quote identical bandwidth and deliver very different real-world latency to UK users. Here is what BGP peering at LINX and LONAP actually does, and why it matters.
N+1 and N+N are not interchangeable. Here is the real difference in failure tolerance, cost, and what it actually takes to get true redundancy down to your own rack.
Tier III gets used loosely in colocation marketing. Here is what the Uptime Institute tier system actually requires, and the specific questions that separate real resilience from a label.
