Lumison's new Scottish Edinburgh Data Centre now offers an additional hosting it dataroom at their Newbridge facility in Edinburgh. The new building included an installation of additional dual generators, N+1 HVAC and the inclusion of full power metering and monitoring of high speed broadband.
It also includes a Novec 1230 as a fire suppressant in place of Argonite which had been used previously. The advantages of this is that this offers easier refill in the event of a release where the same environmental is maintained in it's human friendly state, similar to their other gas systems.
Lumison was formed by it's CEO, Aydin Kurt Eli who took advantage of the opportunities the internet provided where he initially set up edNET, a local Edinburgh based dialup ISP back in 1995 before hosting from it's new datacentres. Lumison also offers phone VOIP, Vpn Client and VPN is services.
The mission statement of focusing on quality can be traced back to these earlier days. When the ISP market polarised, Aydin's company set it's sight on the business end of the market. There was a requirement for a reliable, speedy, effective access and hosting provider where customers were prepared to pay for robust and high quality support services. Frustrated at the delay of the roll out of a national broadband service, Ednet invested in one of the earliest versions of the Wi|Fi technology. Speeds of up to 3Mb/s were considered to be cutting edge at the time.
Ednet then grabbed the opportunity to replace it's innovative wireless service with another equally ground breaking product, the UK's first SDL services, in 1999. One year later, Lumison launched it's broadband services after Ofcom allowed it. This became a huge asset for small businesses who were keen to enjoy the benefits of high speed services that before, only leased line customers could afford.
What made British Lumison unique was that it built their own high performance, low impact Tier three datacentre just outside Edinburgh, Scotland. Another second facility was built in London, United Kingdom in 2007. This allowed Lumison to cover a wider geographic area of the UK reaching a greater diversity of clients.
