Blacknight Solutions provides classic colocation, with the best in technical floorspace , power and connectivity that includes cabling, installation and free 'hands' & 'eyes' support.

Floor Space Options

Full and Half Racks[on a shared colocation floor]
You can house a half-rack, single rack or multiple racks on a shared Data Centre floor within a highly-specified technical environment.

We provide uniform, high-quality aluminium cabinets, with lockable mesh front and rear doors. Cabinet dimensions are 600x900mm (19" width) x 42U high and are supplied with multi-mode fibre, a ground connection and two x 10 socket strips fed by redundant AC power, allowing a maximum of 13 amps per socket.

Single mode fibre, UTP and coaxial patch panels are available on request.

All our cabinets are BSC (UK) and Belcor (US) compliant.

We provide redundant power supplies to protect your mission-critical operations against service interruptions. In the event of power failure, our UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) takes over and an on-site diesel generator supports both AC and DC systems. For additional redundancy, we can install A & B power supplies to customer equipment. In the Kilcarbery Park Data Centre we are able to offer 100% Service Level Agreements (SLA) for power availability, unique in Ireland.

Cages [on a shared colocation floor]

A cage offers you an additional level of security and demarcation on a shared Data Centre floor. You can lock your cage and isolate your equipment from other customers, while at the same time benefiting from the cost saving of a shared technical environment.

Our standard cages are configured to accommodate 3, 5, 7 or 11 racks, but because of their modular design they can be expanded to accommodate up to 70 racks.

We will arrange the supply and installation of your cage.

Private Suites

For space requirements of 1,000 sq ft or greater, we can offer private suites which are dedicated rooms with complete anonymity from other customers and which are metered independently for power consumption.

We can design and customise your private suite if you have any exceptional environmental or security requirements.

Connectivity
The Data Centre is carrier neutral and is connected to multiple communications carriers, permitting you to choose the provider you wish. The data centre at Kilcarbery Park in west Dublin is connected to 12 different fibre optic and wireless carriers, offering you the widest choice in Ireland.

Dedicated Hosting Enterprise level dedicated hosting is delivered from the Kilcarbery Park facility. For IP connectivity, all customers are connected to four Internet Service Providers (ISP's) at any one time via a fully meshed architecture. IP connectivity is available through Cable & Wireless, Colt, Esat BT and Global Crossing. We offer a unique 100% Service Level Agreement for availability of your IP
