We now have a new location in Cheltenham! It’s all on the same switchboard so there are no new numbers, but it does mean we’re very conveniently situated with regards to hosting services and anything needing lots of cost-effective bandwidth.

For many years Encryptec have offered and been providing Open Source based office solutions on a relatively small scale. After seeing the stability of these systems in the workplace we’re now making these services available to a wider audience.

It’s finally arrived! We can now provide ADSL connections ‘through’ our own racks in Cheltenham. It’s not the cheapest connection in the World bit it is at 24Mbps and we can do discounts for existing customers.

(although you won’t see this directly as your bandwidth / browser will be unable to keep up) Benchmarks are showing that the new [...]

The DataCenter just experienced a connectivity failure, yet another well-done and many thanks to our friends at British Telecom.

Another problem yesterday (18th May) took parts of the service off-line again. This time the power went off when an engineer fell off a ladder onto the UPS unit providing power to the suite in which our kit resides. Although power was restored relatively quickly as were some services, disk / file-system corruption hampered reboots [...]

We suffered major outage today at our Data Center, or rather our Data Center suffered an outage which resulted in all our kit not being accessible from the outside world. As far as we can tell the core router supplying the data center blew all of it’s redundant power supplies simultaneously, knocking all connectivity off-line. [...]
