Enhanced Data Security

Your systems are hosted in a secure, UK-based facility with 24/7 monitoring, restricted access controls and daily encrypted backups for complete protection and peace of mind.

Off-Site Encrypted Backups

Our data centre provides a secure off-site location for encrypted backups, protecting vital files and systems from local risks like fire, flood, or cyberattack. Daily replication and rapid recovery options keep downtime to a minimum.

Hosting Legacy & Specialist Applications

We host older or bespoke applications that can’t easily move to public cloud platforms, providing a stable, compliant and supported environment that keeps essential systems accessible and reliable.

Private Cloud & Virtual Infrastructure

Using our Microsoft Hyper-V platform, businesses create private cloud environments with full data sovereignty, flexible performance, and the reassurance of locally managed security and uptime.

"Using The HBP Group’s Data Centre for our off-site backups has transformed how we manage and protect our data."

"We previously relied on multiple on-site servers that were expensive to maintain and difficult to keep secure. Now, all our backups are stored safely within The HBP Group’s UK-based data centre, fully encrypted and automatically replicated each day. It’s saved us significant costs on hardware and maintenance — but more importantly, it’s removed the constant stress of worrying about data loss or downtime."

Flexible & Scalable

Unlike many global data centres that operate within rigid compute types or predefined configurations, our data centre is designed for complete flexibility and customisation. We tailor every environment around your exact requirements — whether that means adjusting storage, processing power, or virtual resources. This freedom ensures you get the performance you need today, with the flexibility to adapt seamlessly as your business evolves.

Cost Effective Solution

Our data centre offers a far more cost-effective approach to hosting compared to many large global providers. With transparent, fixed monthly pricing and no usage-based fees, you get enterprise-grade reliability and performance without the unpredictable costs often associated with hyperscale platforms. It’s a simpler, more affordable way to achieve secure, high-quality hosting tailored to your business.

UK-Based & Locally Managed

Our data centre is located in Scunthorpe and fully managed by our in-house UK team, ensuring complete control over where your data is stored and who manages it. For organisations with contractual or regulatory requirements around data residency, this guarantees full compliance with UK data sovereignty policies and standards. It also supports geo-redundancy strategies, ensuring your critical systems remain secure and accessible within national borders.

Personal, Tangible Support

When your backups or systems are hosted in our data centre, help is never far away. Because we manage and operate our own facility, you can access your data directly, retrieve hardware if needed, or have our engineers on-site with you at a moment’s notice. We can walk straight into our data centre and connect immediately — a level of responsiveness and hands-on support that simply isn’t possible with large, outsourced data centres.
