Our online customer portal gives you control over site visits. Once permissions are set within the portal, visitors can attend site 24/7 – without prior arrangement.

Amito’s Reading data centre has award winning sustainability and efficiency. With an operating PUE of 1.12 it is one of the most efficient facilities in the UK.
5. What accreditations does the Amito data centre have?
Amito holds a number of industry recognised accreditations for its Reading data centre, including PCI-DSS and ISO270001.
6. What provisions do you have in place for power outages?
A private on-site HV network and power supply provide high resilience, with a minimum 2N redundancy, so even if a system fails, performance will be unaffected.

As soon as you become an Amito client you will be assigned to our Service Delivery team who will set you up on our customer portal, and contact you to make sure you have everything you need and answer any questions.

10. How do I arrange deliveries to the data centre?
Large deliveries should be pre-booked through our portal, and sent round to the warehouse area. Please raise a ticket and we will arrange access for you. Server lifters are available on site to assist you should you need it.

We store all deliveries for 14 calendar days at no charge. For periods beyond this, we may levy a fee of £30 per week, per box or pallet.
