We have taken delivery of our first hosted Mac Mini today and doesn’t it look good!

A Mac Mini can be an affordable way to have your own dedicated server.

As you can see, in spite of their awesome power, Minis have an incredibly small footprint (the above picture shows a Mini sitting at the very rear of one our server trays in a 1U rackspace next to its own NAS drive).

We can supply these at a lost cost monthly rental with short term contracts or we can colo them for you.
We are one of the only UK data centers currently offering this, so please get in touch with us for a quote.

ChunkyChips today launched a dedicated Twitter feed to update Clients on Network Status.

Quoted Glenn Flowers;

“With an amazing growth in our Customer base over the last two years, we’ve certainly recognised the need to keep clients informed of any network issues that may affect their connection or colocation.

A dedicated Twitter feed to Network support means we can update our customers via an independent feed and customers can still check our status via their mobile networks even if their main  connection has issues.

The ChunkyChips Network is already hugely resilient and we are working to build even further layers of redundancy in future, however we know that communication with our customers and letting them know of potential issues is equally, if not more important, than the issue itself.”
