Bomb shelter gives Net hosts the ultimate protection

A L Digital is using a disused military base to store servers in a bid to create the ultimate security base for businesses.

The facility is designed to be the ideal step for companies who want to get involved in the growing world of ecommerce, but have worries over security. Adam Laurie, director of A L Digital, explained that the bunker and his company's services will help give ecommerce in the UK a "much needed kick start".

Originally built as part of the UK's strategic communications network, large amounts of bandwidth are available for instant connection.

Laurie added: "Servers can be stored in a server-rack or can be segregated in a separate room, depending on the clients needs. Once the servers are with us we can then connect the system up to the Internet and give the customer the level of maintenance they require."

Pricing is done in tiers with entry level, which includes being hooked up to the Internet and physical maintenance, costing between £15,000 and £20,000.
