The growth of eCommerce and an eCulture necessitates business and government to have a 24x7 resilient infrastructure. Key to this infrastructure is the data centre a facility used to house mission critical systems for internal or external use.

Normally Data Centres are 'lights out' areas, but for the purpose of this meeting BT will illuminate the Data Centre and give members a unique overview of our operations and a peek into the darkside ......

Numbers are strictly limited so this event will be e-ticketed. Applications by e-mail to the Branch Secretary (see below). We will need to know your name, car registration and which tour you wish to attend for security reasons.
