Data centre
As a Swiss hosting service provider, our top priority is to ensure that our services are of impeccable quality. For this reason, we continually invest in our dedicated infrastructure to guarantee fail-safe and redundant operation.
Power supply
The non-interruptible power supply is guaranteed by a 15-minute battery capacity and an emergency diesel-powered generator. All power is supplied from renewable energy sources.
Security
Cameras monitor all entrances and server rooms 24/7. An electronic access-control system permits access to authorised persons only after an on-site check of their identity cards.
Fire safety
The latest in early warning systems, with a direct connection to the local fire brigade, ensures that your data is safe even in the event of a fire. In addition to this, specials doors and locking systems prevent the fire spreading to other areas.
Climate control
Constant temperature monitoring and the latest under-floor air conditioning systems ensure the perfect temperature for optimal performance across the server farm is maintained in every room.
Network
A powerful connection for your benefit. Hoststar data centres are equipped with a multiple redundancy network structure. Various connections to the major nodes deliver nearly 100 percent network fail-safety. We use network technology that is rooted in JUNIPER hardware. All customer data is archived on data backup servers in a separate data centre.
