| | | Disaster recovery / Business continuity providers
I am currently looking at business continuity solutions within Switzerland, specifically the use of a recovery centre where computer systems may be maintained as per a live environment and desk space provided in a disaster situation.
Does anyone know of companies in the Zurich region that offer disaster recovery / system availability services such as Sunguard do in the US and UK?

Are you looking at offsite computing facilities or do you need a "hot spare" office too?
I can PM you a name I am familiar with...

Pat - thanks I will look into them.
Lob - thanks, that is the company I am using at the moment.
I'm looking for a company that can offer me a secured data center, e.g. a restricted access server room or cage within a shared server room facility. As well as a number of hotspare desks which could either be dedicated or shared with a limited number of companies and available within a short period after activation of a DR plan.

Rather unhelpfully I've not seen a company that runs that service a la, Sungard, IBM or Adam Continuity in the UK.
If you do find one I would also be super interested to know about them as well.

are you a single office company? We have a BCP which involves re-using our other offices. Also consider Citrix-type solutions and keep people at home?

Inspirion offers data center services but I don't know if they offer what you're looking for. They are quite open-minded though so it doesn't hurt to ask. www.inspirion.ch | | This user would like to thank Tilia for this useful post: | |

One of them is SIAG in Gstaad. They provide many of these services, but not sure if they do all of them. They have a few sister companies that provide solutions. www.siag.ch | Quote: | | | | | There is a facility IIRC here which is embedded in the side of a mountain.

Does anyone know the name? | | | | | They are called SwissVault
I have visited the facility, security is tighter than a bank vault.
It is an old military bunker buried deep inside the Swiss Alps.
Very impressive!

Swissvault is the service, SIAG is the company. I have worked with them in the past (consulting), don't be put off by the crappy website, these guys are technically very good, they do a lot with financials in Zürich.

I can tell you the generators were running today  but I can also tell you that they have redundant electric suppliers and expect human error to be the cause. Either way, it's squeeky-bum time |
