  No single point of failure!  Redundancy!  Fault isolation of the failing component!  Duplication of critical systems!  Immediate fault containment! Expertise management  

Guiding Principles!

To prevent catastrophic failures and assure the quality and availability of the IT systems, the technology platforms on which to run the same IT systems need to comply with 6 main principles:  

SOLUTION!Premium leasing of dedicated servers implemented by professional

experts in high quality data centers in Switzerland  

Assure Business Continuity!

Secure mission-critical operations!

Have cost-effective and reliable IT systems!

Implement the Disaster Recovery plan!

  Tier III: redundancy N+1!  Tier IV: redundancy 2N+1!

Data Center FT!

To provide an optimum fault-tolerant platform, the data centers in which the equipment is hosted must have a level of redundancy of the critical components that classifies them as:  

TIA-942 security data center Tiers classification

  Hot swap bays: to continue operation during repairs!  RAID levels: to protect against disk failures!  Redundant PSU: to make sure power flows constantly!  Dual or Triple Redundant LAN connection scheme  

The Servers!

Minimum high standards to protect servers from failures:  

In addition the servers and equipment shall be fully customizable to allow IT Managers and System Administrators to choose the right solution given the specific needs related to fault tolerance levels of the IT systems to be outsourced or duplicated.

 Redundant connection to ISPs ! 99% availability and reliability!  Multiple nodes performance!  Protection from node failures !  Dedicated and available Bandwidth!  Non stop traffic flow of data! Low RTT delays  

Internet Connectivity!

To assure constant uptime of the IT system, the equipment must be connected to the Internet through multiple ISPs and at least one Tier-1 carrier.

  Excellent IT infrastructure    Direct connection to European backbone fiber!

  Political stability and effective public institutions!  In the middle of Europe but beyond the EU control!

Switzerland!

A remote risk-free location is ideal in implementing the Disaster Recovery plan through duplication of the critical applications and thus making operations tolerant to even catastrophic failures.  

“Fault-tolerant Country” !
