DSH LIMITED
Computer integrated systems design · Waltham Cross

Single-tenant compute, held on a steady floor. LEASE

DSH LIMITED rents dedicated servers and private rack space from the Waltham Cross floor at 24 Felstead Road, Waltham Cross - EN8 7HB, United Kingdom (GB). Every machine is yours alone, every cable run is documented, and every visit is handled by a named engineer rather than a queue. The cold aisle stays at the centre of that promise, because hardware you can walk to is hardware you can trust.

Work order rail

Six lines of work carried out from the same floor

The service schedule is short on purpose. DSH LIMITED does six things well, and each of the six is written below as a live order on the rail rather than a marketing tile.

Metal D

Single-Tenant Metal Leases

Each lease hands you an entire physical machine and nothing is shared above the power feed. You choose the CPU class, memory shape, disk layout and network port before delivery, and the unit is racked, cabled and labelled under your account name. Leases run on fixed monthly terms with documented refresh points. Full lease details.

Rack S

Private Rack Suites

Half-rack and full-rack enclosures are let as locked suites inside the cold aisle, with your own power circuits, your own switching and your own patch loom. The suite is yours end to end, so growth does not depend on a neighbour leaving. Suite outline.

Visit H

Remote Hands Windows

Booked windows put an engineer at your rack for one to four hours with a written task sheet. Cables, drives, console work and visual checks are all inside scope, and the engineer writes back a plain account of what changed. Window rules.

Link L

IP Block Assignments

IPv4 and IPv6 allocations are assigned per lease with reverse records maintained by our floor team. Justification notes are kept for each block so growth requests do not stall in review. Addressing notes.

Burst R

Bandwidth Burst Plans

Committed rates come with a burst ceiling so a launch week does not become a billing event. Traffic graphs are readable and monthly caps are reviewed with you before they bind. Burst explained.

Crate B

Hardware Swap Visits

When a part fails, our engineer meets your replacement kit at the door, books it in, swaps it at the rack and returns the failed unit under the same ticket. Spare crates are kept on site for common parts. Swap procedure.

DSH LIMITED opens its next rack handover window on the Waltham Cross floor, and a written floor note follows every machine that leaves the aisle.

Why a floor of our own

A lease is a relationship with a place, not only a machine

Most server rentals are sold as an abstraction: a console, a monthly invoice, a ticket queue somewhere. DSH LIMITED works the other way around. We operate a floor we can walk, in a building we know, with a rack row whose history is written on the tags. When a client signs a single-tenant metal lease, they are not buying a slice of somebody else share of a cloud region. They are renting a named box at a known coordinate, with a named engineer responsible for the physical layer.

That matters most on the hard days. A failed drive at three in the morning, a firmware update that will not take, a machine that needs a physical power cycle before a launch. Our remote hands windows exist for those days, and the hardware swap visits exist for the worst of them. The engineer who arrives already knows where the rack sits, which circuit feeds it and which cable carries the uplink, because they helped rack it.

The cold aisle itself is a maintenance tool. With the front of the rack row clear and the lamp bar lit, a drive caddy can be pulled in seconds without moving a neighbouring unit. We keep that clearance as a house rule rather than a preference. Clients who fill a suite from the first unit understand that the space in front of the row belongs to whoever is working there that hour.

The floor at Waltham Cross

24 Felstead Road, and what that address buys you

The floor operates from 24 Felstead Road, Waltham Cross - EN8 7HB, United Kingdom (GB). Being reachable by road and rail inside the south east corridor keeps the cost of a visit low and the turnaround fast. Engineers arrive with a task sheet, a crate of parts and the authority to make a physical decision without waiting for a second approval call. Clients who want to attend a swap in person can book a supervised window and watch their own hardware go back into the row.

Inside, the room is laid out as a straight cold aisle with a rack row on each side, a patch loom rail above the rear and an intake grate at the hall corner. Power is delivered on independent circuits so a rack suite can be isolated without disturbing the row around it. Temperature is kept in a narrow band and checked at the aisle face, not only at the room sensor, because the aisle is where the equipment actually breathes.

IP block assignments and bandwidth burst plans are handled from the same desk as the rack bookings. That single point of contact is deliberate. When a client grows from one metal lease to a private rack suite, the addressing and the traffic policy follow the machine without a second onboarding cycle.

How a tenancy starts

From first call to first handover

The schedule is kept short so that a client can move from enquiry to a live machine without weeks of interpretation. Four steps, each with an output the client keeps.

Step one

Scope call

We talk through compute class, disk shape, traffic profile and growth expectation, then agree the right product line.

Step two

Written schedule

A schedule sets out the unit, circuits, addressing, burst ceiling and handover date in plain terms.

Step three

Rack and cable

The machine is racked, labelled, cabled into the loom and tested at the aisle face before it is declared ready.

Step four

Handover window

Your engineer walks the rack with the client notes, hands over credentials and books the first review.

House practice

Three rules that keep the aisle usable

The first rule is that the front of the rack row stays clear. The second is that every cable carries a label matching its entry in the patch ledger. The third is that no unit is removed from a client suite without a ticket number on file, even when the removal is a swap we initiated. These rules are not decorative. They are the reason a hardware swap visit can happen in minutes rather than an afternoon.

A machine that can be reached is a machine that can be repaired. Everything else in this business follows from that.

Clients who run long-lived workloads appreciate the lack of churn. The rack row changes slowly, the addressing plan stays legible, and the engineer on the floor can explain the state of a suite without consulting three systems. That continuity is what a lease with DSH LIMITED is meant to buy.
