LOWER LATENCY

Direct-connect offers lower latency

Direct-connects provide users with the highest levels of security and lowest latency.

DATA SECURITY

Higher levels of physical and data security

The integration of OQC Toshiko into colocation data centres capitalises on the physical and data security benefits provided by existing infrastructure.

HYBRID COMPUTE

Quantum-classical computational power

ON-PREMISE PERKS

On-premise perks for your business

Data centre deployments offer important security and access benefits that you may want from an on-premises computer, but without the need to own a physical quantum computer.

OPTIMISATION CONTROL

Control of optimisation levels

Customers can select the optimisation level from unoptimised through to highest level optimisers that we’ve built-in.

AWARD WINNING

Pioneering quantum integrations

In 2022, we integrated the world’s first quantum computer into a colocation data centre, earning Datacentre Dynamics ‘European Data Centre Project of the Year’ award for our innovative engineering and design.

 Through our network of world class data centre partners, you can connect directly to OQC’s live quantum systems via seamless direct access, with enhanced security, commercial grade connectivity meaning smoother experiments and lower task and job latency.

Data centre

Data centres are centralised facilities, that physically house a range of critical IT equipment and are used by organisations across a variety of industries to manage, process, disseminate and most importantly, securely store large amounts of data and applications.

There are generally two broad categories of data centre: colocation and enterprise. These data centres are predominantly differentiated by their demarcation points in the service, meaning the point at which ownership is changed between the different parts of the service provided.

Colocation data centre

A colocation data centre is a specific type of data centre that leases space to a client company to store their infrastructure, allowing for different computing modalities and services to be colocated. The demarcation here is between the customer and the host, who agree on how their services meet one another. Colocation data centres provide optimum premises to merge quantum computing into their pre-existing infrastructure offering a range of benefits from the ability to form secure ecosystems to exceptional reliability.

Enterprise data centre

An enterprise data centre is a data centre owned and operated by just one organisation meaning the demarcation is entirely internal. The facility may be on or off of the company’s premises but will contain specific physical infrastructure to support the company’s distinct IT needs and requirements. Enterprise data centres provide great control and visibility into operations and equipment for organisations who have unique requirements to their everyday operations.

Quantum data centre

A quantum data centre, is not a data centre in the traditional sense but is a facility solely built to house quantum computers. A quantum data centre has internal control over its demarcations giving it the autonomy to create a sandboxing R&D environment. They can be purpose built or specially designed to meet the specific needs of quantum computers, addressing their unique needs in a way that conventional data centres have not historically been built to accommodate.
