Highest level security and safety protection for Swiss data center
Protection from the threat of fire is a fundamental consideration in any data center risk management strategy. The data itself must be safe, given that it is so critical to the business continuity of customers1
. But, like any building, the fabric and the
infrastructure must also be considered to ensure the all important uninterrupted service. For data center service providers such as Geneva-based Safe Host, this means employing effective, reliable and robust technologies that provide the reassurance to customers that their data is protected, allowing them to focus on their own core business. By Miguel Angel Coll, Fire Safety and Security, Siemens Building Technologies.
