This datacentre is built and run by our specialist hosting partner, Rackspace Managed Hosting. Founded in 1998 with locations in Texas and London, the company manages over 8000 servers for customers in more than 80 countries. It also won the Microsoft Certified Partner Award as the Communications Sector - Hosting Solutions Service Provider of the Year.

Covalent has put in place a scalable platform infrastructure that can be expanded to support whatever numbers of users our customers require. Capacity requirements are continually monitored and levels of concurrent usage assessed to determine whether an expansion of the supporting infrastructure is necessary.

We take responsibility for all aspects of system administration such as backups, technology upgrades, system testing and maintenance. All data is routinely backed up overnight and incrementally during the day. There is also a rolling programme of off-site data backup on a weekly/monthly cycle.
