Swisscom data centre obtains Tier IV certification

Swisscom’s data centre in Wankdorf in Berne is the first data centre in Switzerland to be awarded Tier IV Design Certification by the Uptime Institute. A global competence centre for data centre operators, the Uptime Institute defines and certifies four operator classes (Tier Levels I to IV), covering power supply and air-conditioning systems and the corresponding measurement and control technology. The Wankdorf data centre thus ideally meets the high demands of outsourcing customers in terms of efficiency and security. Swisscom developed the certified systems in partnership with the general planner RZintegral AG over a three-year period.
