Foreshore - A world class failsafe infrastructure

In order to provide the necessary substance to the offshore company, it is extremely important to locate critical functions of the business offshore. Technology is a vital component of e-business and could be the company’s only physical presence which helps determine the taxable location for the goods or services that are provided.

Foreshore is comprised of two world-class data centres totalling 22,000 sq ft based on the outskirts of St Helier and has the Jersey Electricity Company as a major shareholder (which has a full listing on the London Stock Exchange).

Foreshore was designed at the outset to be independent of any single cable carrier, telecommunications operator or Internet Service Provider (ISP) and includes two physically separate datacentres, located several miles apart, providing the maximum resilience to failure. The datacentres have been built to international standards ensuring that they meet the needs of organisations that cannot contemplate any server downtime. The company provides international organisations with a scalable, secure, high performance and non-stop platform for the deployment, 24 x 365 management and monitoring of their business critical servers and operations.

The services provided range from dedicated servers and rack space at the entry level through to bespoke caged space with a plethora of managed services that can be tailored to individual requirements.

Foreshore proudly believes it is the most sophisticated offshore datacentre and that it compares favourably with the very best in the world. Its power and Internet connectivity service levels of 100% are standard with all contracts.
