Ensuring security in the data center
Optimum fire protection and security systems at Safe Host in Geneva
Data centers must provide optimum protection for customers' valuable data in the best possible way. Safe Host is a data center based in Geneva, providing the high level of security implied by its name.
Safe Host's customers include international organizations, global enterprises and financial institutions for which a loss of data would be an absolute disaster. With such a demanding customer portfolio, Safe Host relies on first-class Siemens technology for securing its data center.
All fire protection and security measures are managed through a central management station. The automatic extinguishing system meets all requirements specific to data centers. As water or water mist cannot be used to extinguish a fire in a data center, Safe Host uses a gas extinguishing system to avoid damaging the sensitive electronics. If the fire detectors detect and confirm a fire, the fire protection system automatically triggers the extinguishing process. Infrared motion sensors are just one example of equipment connected to the intrusion detection system. Surveillance cameras are installed at all important entrances, and in case of a direct attack panic buttons are available to manually trigger an alarm. With a highly secure data center and protected IT infrastructure, Safe Host offers its customers business continuity services locally, which can be vital to a company's survival in the event of a disaster.
