Rack space that fits
Review equipment dimensions, rack units, weight and room for growth, then confirm the allocation available at the selected facility.

Data centre hosting, explained
What is Data centre hosting?
Keep your infrastructure.
Choose its environment.
Data centre hosting can provide space for physical servers and network equipment in a purpose-built facility. In a colocation arrangement, your organisation normally owns the hardware while the facility supplies the agreed environment and connectivity.
Radian coordinates options through delivery partners. We review rack requirements, power demand, access, networking and support so you understand both the facility service and the work that remains with your team.

A complete environment.
Clear responsibilities.
The features that matter, with the practical details made clear.
Power & cooling
Assess power draw, feeds, cooling needs and any resilience requirements. The specific facility design and limits must be confirmed.
Physical security
Understand access authorisation, visitor arrangements and the facility’s security controls and operating procedures.
Connectivity choices
Plan internet transit, addressing, cross-connects and any private links around the systems you will host.
Remote hands options
Agree what on-site assistance covers, how work is authorised, availability and any additional charges.
Clear management scope
Separate facility support from hardware maintenance, operating-system administration and application management.
Service availability, equipment, features, licences and support scope are confirmed in your proposal. Optional services are priced and agreed separately.

Make an informed choice
Choose the setup around your work.
Space & power
Prepare the equipment inventory, measured or rated demand, interfaces and rail requirements. Check power and cooling capacity before committing.
Location & access
Compare available locations around staff access, latency and data requirements. Verify relevant facility certifications and their actual scope.
Management & maintenance
Agree who replaces components, maintains warranties, patches systems and handles application incidents. Remote hands is not a substitute for every management task.
The practical details
Move the equipment.
Keep the plan connected.
A physical migration brings application, network and logistics dependencies together. Coordinate them before the move.
Plan your setup ↗Prepare the destination
Confirm rack allocation, power, addressing, network links and authorised access.
Plan the outage
Agree transport, shutdown order, backups, restart steps and a fallback decision point.
Test before handover
Check connectivity, remote administration and the applications that depend on the relocated hardware.

Data centre hosting,
answered.
Have a question about your setup?
Tell us what you want to achieve.
Does Radian own the data centres?
No ownership claim is made. Services are coordinated through delivery partners, with the selected facility and responsibilities confirmed in the proposal.
Can we host hardware we already own?
That can be considered after checking dimensions, power, interfaces, condition and facility requirements.
Can the location be outside the UK?
International options can be discussed. The chosen location, connectivity, support and data requirements must be confirmed for the service.
Is operating-system support included?
Only where specifically agreed. Colocation normally describes the environment for equipment; system administration is a separate scope.
Can someone reboot or cable equipment for us?
Remote hands may provide authorised physical tasks. Coverage, process, hours and charges depend on the facility service.
Should we use colocation or a virtual cloud?
Colocation suits organisations retaining physical equipment. A virtual service can be more suitable when you want compute resources without owning the underlying hardware.
UK-wide service enquiries
Data centre hosting across the UK.
Match the facility to the equipment and applications, not just proximity to an office. Confirm hosting location, rack and power requirements, access procedures, connectivity and which party manages each layer of the service.
Based in Charlwood, we welcome enquiries nationwide, with a particular focus on Horley, Crawley, Gatwick, Surrey, Sussex and London. Delivery, availability and any site attendance are confirmed for your chosen service.
