Providing Customers with Extended Geo-Redundancy
HORISEN, an award-winning messaging technology product house, has unveiled its latest strategic initiative commencing in 2023: the expansion of its geo-redundancy infrastructure by selecting a leading Tier IV data centre located in Switzerland run by Rechenzentrum Ostschweiz in Gais (RZO). With the complex security concept meeting the highest requirements and the highest availability standard, this most energy-efficient data centre was the ideal choice for HORISEN. Committed to empowering messaging enterprises with unparalleled reliability, HORISEN’s decision aligns seamlessly with its mission to provide the backbone technology necessary for a successful messaging business.
As this agreement marks a significant step towards enhancing HORISEN’s geo-redundancy capabilities while prioritising environmental sustainability, the decision was based on several factors:
Tier IV Distinction
In pursuit of unparalleled security, reliability, availability, and full redundancy, HORISEN began a search for the optimal data centre solution. The search culminated in the selection of Rechenzentrum Ostschweiz, renowned for its prestigious Tier IV certification, a distinction shared at that time by only two data centres in Switzerland. With its high-security measures, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and strategic location, RZO emerged as the prime choice for HORISEN. This strategic partnership further solidifies HORISEN’s commitment to delivering even more reliable messaging technology to its esteemed clientele.
Power Outage Resilience
With Tier IV standards mandating a minimum of 96 hours of uninterrupted operation following a power outage, RZO’s strategic location near a reliable power plant ensures an uninterrupted power supply. With redundancy in power supply from three different sources, ensuring continuous operations under any circumstance, the facility swiftly became the top choice for HORISEN.
Exceptional Security Measures
HORISEN does not compromise with security, and RZO with its advanced security concept has met its highest requirements. This collaboration enhances platform reliability, ensuring the utmost integrity, safeguarding clients’ data with unparalleled diligence and complying with privacy laws.
Environmental Sustainability
The data centre exclusively sources its energy from renewable sources, such as hydroelectric and solar power, making it a frontrunner in environmentally sustainable data centre operations. This aligns perfectly with our strategy at HORISEN, reflecting our commitment not only to providing excellent service but also to doing so in a way that minimizes our environmental impact.
Sustainable Practices Integration
At HORISEN, sustainability is integral to our business philosophy. “We are committed to integrating sustainable practices into our operations, including our data centre operations. Notably, RZO utilizes excess heat generated from its operations to support a nearby dairy factory, exemplifying our dedication to environmental stewardship and community engagement.”- says Fabrizio Salanitri, the CEO at HORISEN.
He adds: “HORISEN’s partnership with RZO highlights our firm commitment to delivering reliable, secure, and sustainable messaging technology solutions to our clients. With the integration of green energy-powered data centre capabilities, HORISEN is prepared to enhance its geo-redundancy and lead the way in environmentally responsible data management practices.”
