iomart controlled, our network ensures that when it matters, customers and staff alike can always access the services they required At the heart of our network infrastructure lie our own UK data centres - located in London, Maidenhead, Glasgow, Nottingham, Leicester and Manchester. Each data centre is built to exacting standards, and each network hub is based on 2N-redundant Cisco 7600-series cores, providing datacentre solutions at any location connectivity ranging from 10 Megabits per second to 10 Gigabit per second. Our national MPLS enabled network and partnership with BT enables private circuits to be provided to customers not only between our datacentre sites, but also into customer premises. We offer a complete range of speed and redundancy options to suit a variety of requirements, along with a full range of customer assistance options from self-maintained single links up to fully managed multi-site multi-protocol WAN packages. Deliverable by fibre, broadband or even radio-based connections, and available from 2Mbit/s up to 10Gbit/s, the iomart WAN solution can supply anything from simple inter-site connections to fully quality-of-serviced VoIP-capable multi-vlan layer-2-enabled complete communications solution capable of passing any traffic to and from any other location, be it the datacentre, the other end of the country or the other side of the world.
