We understand that downtime can be seriously damaging, both commercially and reputationally. That is why we provide a 99.982% uptime guarantee (Tier 3) as standard, combined with proactive remote monitoring to identify and address any issues before they impact your business. For organisations that need additional cover, our 24/7 x 365 support plan provides round the clock access to our team.
The way your organisation stores and manages its data and applications sits at the heart of everything your business does. Get it right and your team has reliable, secure access to the systems they need. Get it wrong and the consequences can range from lost productivity to serious reputational damage.
Kick provides fully managed datacentre hosting for organisations of all sizes, from a straightforward offsite space for a single stack of customer equipment through to complex environments hosting critical applications and sensitive business data. We take the time to understand your specific requirements and design a solution that fits, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
In 2019 we made a significant investment in modernising our datacentre, giving customers access to the very latest hosting technology through our Nutanix hyper-converged infrastructure environment. The result is a highly secure, resilient and scalable platform that gives you the performance and peace of mind your business needs.

Nutanix Hyper-Converged Infrastructure
At the core of Kick's datacentre is a Nutanix hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) platform, a modern approach to hosting that combines compute, storage and networking into a single, streamlined environment. This means greater performance, simpler management and lower operational cost compared to traditional infrastructure, all delivered through a fully managed service so your team does not need to worry about the underlying technology.
Common Questions
What happens if my systems go down?
What is the difference between private, hybrid and multi-cloud hosting?
Private cloud means your infrastructure is dedicated solely to your organisation, offering the highest level of control and security. Hybrid cloud combines private hosting with public cloud services, giving you flexibility and scalability. Multi-cloud uses more than one cloud provider to reduce dependency and optimise cost or performance. Kick will help you identify which approach best fits your requirements.
Is your datacentre suitable for disaster recovery?
Yes. We offer Disaster Recovery as a Service to datacentre customers, meaning your data is backed up and recoverable in the event of an incident, whether that is a hardware failure, a cyber attack or something else entirely.
