So you retain ownership and control of your physical server - UKFast simply houses and protects it for you. Colocation is the ultimate solution if you want the flexibility and control of owning a server but don't have the in-house resource or space to house and securely store it yourself. It's also an ideal option if you've already purchased a server and want to continue to gain returns on the investment made.

SMBs and even enterprise businesses can't afford to make mistakes when outsourcing. The business buzz word at the moment is to 'outsource'. It makes sense, there are huge cost savings. The NHS and some government agencies are slower to follow suit because they're nervous about their data and they are right to be. But the costs of trying to manage and insource projects as opposed to hosting in somebody else's purpose built datacentre are huge. You can now plug in instantly into the back of a £25m hosting network in Manchester instead of trying to set one up yourself. You want two hundred techies who are at the top of their game in our Manchester datacentres? We don't outsource that. They're not in another country, they're here. We know how important each client's hosted solution is and those engineers that are working through the night are those same engineers that work through the day at different times. They run and manage your projects so you can't get better than that. That's why the UKFast NPS is so high and the feedback is so high, and that's why customers stay with UKFast.

Lawrence Jones MBE, CEO of UKFast on the importance and value of Buying British. Now that the US government has the power to intercept data from any US based and many other non-UK based data centres it has never been more urgent for business owners in the UK to ensure that their data is secured in UK based and owned data centres. Is your business' vital information and client data secure, or is it subject to data laws you have no control over?

This April, watch the movie critics are describing as "On YouTube"... Colocation, cloud and managed hosting provider UKFast has taken its focus on backups and redundancy to a new level with the introduction of its patented U Klone Fast technology, which has seen staff downtime fall to 0%. Managing director Jonathan Bowers said: "We have always prided ourselves on developing our infrastructure whilst consistently introducing effective automation to ensure that our clients' solutions remain highly functional throughout every eventuality. "Since deploying our AI servers last April, our focus has been on creating the highest level of backup and redundancy. This includes backup servers, backup firewalls and backed up data. "To us, backing up people seemed like the natural next step. We had the double vision to do this and it's increased our efficiency twofold." U Klone Fast technology was designed and created in house by the company's RnD team who are said to be seeing double after its implementation. The firm's CEO, Lawrence Jones MBE, today announced: "We're incredibly proud to say that with our U Klone Fast technology, we have managed to made over two hundred employees redundant. "Much like our twinned servers, there is now always one employee on standby. If one slows down or stops working, a seamless failover to the backup employee will occur instantaneously. "With U Klone Fast technology we can now share the benefits of 0% staff downtime with everyone." This time of year regularly holds fresh innovation for the fast-growing firm, with 2013 seeing them create Blipvertology training technique as well as last year's launch of artificial intelligence servers.
