Swiss Fort Knox® consists of two independent underground data centers, belonging to the top IT-infrastructure of Europe. The facilities are equipped with the latest technologies, physically separated by 10km and connected internally as well as with the Internet by a high performance network. Swiss Fort Knox® is resistant against any known civil, terroristic and military threat, incl. ABC and EMP. Embedded inside the Swiss Alps and hermetically sealed, Swiss Fort Knox® also offers protection against environmental disasters such as earth quakes, floods, landslides and large-scale fires. The redundant telecommunication and infrastructure of Swiss Fort Knox® represents its state of the art concept.
The two large, high secure data centers (Swiss Fort Knox®) inside the Swiss Alps are being operated by the company SIAG. The operation and its surveillance of the physical as well as logical infrastructure is coordinated by two security operation centers (SOC). SIAG’s headquarters is located in Zug, Switzerland. The company was founded in 1994.
