Where are your Data Centres?
We have two Level (3) Communication Sites @ Goswell Road and Braham Street (angel tube and Aldgate east tube). We also have a Data Centre in Docklands a Tier 3 DC run by Global Switch.
We have one DC in Park Royal and our last DC is Slough Interchange which is less expensive than inner London sites.
How much notice do we need to provide to access the Data Centre?

Is there a remote reboot port?
Yes, 1 x APC remote reboot port is always included
Is there KVM over IP available?
Yes, remote Keyboard Video Mouse control is available. It costs £15 per month per device.
I assume the included support is hardware only?
When you are using a dedicated server the included support is hardware only, we can support your operating systems at an additional cost.
IP addresses - what is included? What are additional costs if any?
You can have as many IP addresses as you want subject to RIPE justification, we do not charge for IP addresses.
What is target SLA we can expect for attending server issues and replacing parts; and what is expected SLA for complete server replacement if a bad issue (i.e. how long before we have a server available to us with an operating system image we can start to work on)
1 hour response 4 hour fix on hardware failures or replacement if needed guaranteed under SLA.
Do your Dedicated Servers come with software or hardware RAID?
Yes
I assume we'd have root access on the box and SSH access?
Yes
Any difference in cost for Windows Server 2008 versus Server 2003?
NO extra cost
What are the differences between managed and dedicated services?
If we are managing a server we are supporting the hardware and operating software
If we are giving a dedicated server service it means we are PROVIDING the hardware and it is our responsibility but the operating system is the clients responsibility.
