Background
Coreix operates on second floor of VSNL's (formerly Tyco) Stratford Datacentre. The VSNL Stratford facility also houses other popular ISP's such as C4L and ServerCity on other floors. Coreix also trade under the brand of Dedifast for some reason. Coreix have some well known customers including Barclays as well as other hosting companies such as UKHost4U and Dataflame.
Infrastructure
Coreix boast good 24/7 support and rapid response time. Their Network operates in a 14,000 sq.ft raised floored state-of-the-art data centre which offers complete redundancy in protected power, HVAC, fire suppression, network connectivity and on-site manned security.
Coreix's core network architecture utilises high quality equipment from Juniper, Foundry and Cisco, which is setup in a fully redundant mesh it allows us to offer high availability and exceptional throughput to our end users.
ATX (Breadrack) Colocation
One advantages of Coreix is that they can accomodate ATX or Tower Servers on their "breadracks." This would be difficult or prohibitively expensive in any other data centre such as Redbus. Tower servers generally have better cooling than rack optimized equipment.
Support
Coreix Techs are generally helpful, responsive and knowledgable. They are genuinely available 24/7/365 and are based on site. Coreix also offers a 5 minute response time SLA.
Access
VSNL Stratford is based on a busy high street (above and behind Wilkinsons). Access needs to be booked well in advance and usually requires accompanyment with a data centre technician.
Parking for deliveries and collections can be slightly tricky, as the facility is based in a busy shopping centre. However arrangements can usually be made beforehand to use the Wilkinsons loading bay (accessible from Stratford's one way system, near the theatre/cinema complex) behind the Datacentre. A service/goods lift is also availabe.
