CWCS

CWCS owns and operates secure, energy efficient colocation from our Nottingham Data Centre, minutes from the M1. We are an independent operator of critical digital infrastructure, focused on sustainability and long term resilience. The facility is Tier 3 aligned, carrier neutral, and built to a designed PUE of 1.15. It supports high density deployments with up to 22 kW per rack, redundant A+B power, and 24/7 on site engineers for remote hands. Customers can scale from single servers and quarter racks through to full racks and multi rack environments. Connectivity options include LINX peering, DDoS mitigation, and a choice of on net connectivity providers for fast, straightforward network integration.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

Data Center Footprint:

CWCS states it has UK data centres in Nottingham, Manchester, and London.

CWCS positions these sites for UK-based hosting and ISO-certified operations, with published positioning around security and UK/GDPR compliance.

CWCS also lists additional “strategic locations” (Miami, Dallas, Silicon Valley, Toronto) under its data centres content.

Facility Design & Infrastructure:

CWCS markets colocation from ISO 27001-certified UK data centres with “resilient power” and “diverse fibre connectivity,” alongside 24/7 access and remote hands support.

For UK sites, CWCS publishes rack configurations ranging from 1U/2U/4U through quarter/half/full racks, and lists power design notes such as N+1 and “2 (N+1)” (varies by site table).

CWCS’s Nottingham colocation page positions the facility as “Tier 3 aligned,” with A+B power (N+1) and high-density rack support (22 kW), and references hot aisle containment as part of its cooling approach.

Service Portfolio Overview:

Colocation (single server through full racks, marketed with A+B power, diverse connectivity, and 24/7 remote hands / KVM access).

Dedicated servers and bare metal (including GPU dedicated server positioning).

Cloud hosting / cloud servers plus private cloud (including VMware-based private cloud positioning).

Managed cloud positioning includes daily backups using Veeam and R1Soft on managed cloud pages, and CWCS also references backups and disaster recovery in its public-facing FAQ/offer content.

CWCS publishes managed connectivity services (leased lines, broadband, private circuits, SD-WAN, and “data centre links” between CWCS facilities).

🔐 Security & Compliance

Infrastructure Resilience:

CWCS markets a “100% Power & Network Uptime SLA” on its colocation page and positions its platform around resilient power and high-availability infrastructure for colocation.

CWCS positions its Nottingham facility as “Tier 3 aligned” as part of its colocation location content.

Physical & Logical Security:

CWCS describes its UK colocation as delivered from secure data centres, and publishes security service add-ons including managed firewalls and multi-factor authentication (Cisco Duo MFA), plus references to DDoS mitigation.

For Nottingham, CWCS references 24/7 CCTV monitoring and access control systems as part of its security positioning for the site.

Compliance & Standards:

CWCS states its UK data centres are ISO 27001 certified, and also references ISO 9001 alongside ISO 27001 on its “About” content.

CWCS site content also references Cyber Essentials and G-Cloud supplier positioning in its colocation materials.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

Carrier Neutrality:

CWCS colocation marketing references “carrier diversity” and “diverse fibre connectivity,” and the Manchester colocation listing explicitly references “carrier-neutral options.”

Network Capabilities:

CWCS publishes managed connectivity offerings including leased lines (dedicated symmetric bandwidth), business broadband, private circuits (Layer 2 or Layer 3 options), SD-WAN, and inter-site “data centre links” between CWCS facilities.

CWCS also positions connectivity around high-availability design with diverse paths and rapid failover, with optional DDoS mitigation and controlled interconnects into CWCS facilities.

Connectivity Use Cases:

Organizations connecting branches and CWCS data centres using leased lines, private circuits, or SD-WAN for resilient connectivity and failover.

Use cases described include replication/backup designs between CWCS facilities via “data centre links,” plus hybrid integration positioning within CWCS connectivity content.
