With a history dating back to 1995, Brightsolid has spent decades refining its ability to support mission-critical industries. Their experience is particularly deep within the energy, enterprise, and public sectors, where downtime is not an option. By maintaining a flexible and robust service model, they ensure that high-stakes organizations have the infrastructure necessary to operate securely. This long-standing operational history in a purpose-built facility provides a foundation of trust for clients managing complex, large-scale data requirements.

The technical core of Brightsolid’s offering is built on a Tier 3 design that prioritizes constant availability through comprehensive redundancy. The facility utilizes N+1 redundancy across all critical systems, including cooling, UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), and standby power. This ensures that even in the event of component failure, the data centre remains fully operational. Clients have access to various hosting configurations to suit their scale, including full cabinets, partial cabinets, and shared rackspace, all supported by a high-connectivity environment featuring four peering networks.

Security is a cornerstone of the Brightsolid environment, evidenced by their rigorous physical and digital protocols. The facility features mantrap entry systems, 24/7 CCTV surveillance, and onsite security staff available around the clock to prevent unauthorized access. Beyond physical barriers, the company adheres to international best practices, maintaining certifications for ISO27001 (Information Security), ISO9001 (Quality Management), and ISO22301 (Business Continuity). This multi-layered approach ensures that sensitive data remains protected against both physical threats and operational disruptions.

To ensure seamless performance, Brightsolid provides constant technical oversight and hands-on assistance. With onsite technical staff available 24/7, clients benefit from immediate troubleshooting and maintenance. The Remote Hands service allows for hardware management and technical tasks to be performed by expert staff on behalf of the client, reducing the need for customer travel to the site. This combination of purpose-built construction and round-the-clock professional support guarantees a highly resilient environment for modern IT workloads.
