Add productive, skilled workers, advantageous tax rates and low environmental risk, and you can understand why the world has long kept its valuables under lock and key in Zurich and Geneva. Today, mission-critical data and applications are many companies' most precious assets. Safeguarding them from accidents, intruders, and environmental disasters is vital. And – for the reasons just noted – what better place to do this than Switzerland?

The host with the most

Artmotion is a case in point. Its twin data centres near Zurich – one of them underground – are equipped with the latest technology and the ultimate in security, ensuring maximum privacy. Its state-of-the-art, efficiently managed infrastructure is as reliable as a Swiss watch, enabling it to offer a 99.9 per cent network uptime guarantee. And its situation in the middle of Europe allows high-speed connections to major European and international providers (peering), for even greater redundancy.

"About 80 per cent of our customers are based outside Switzerland," explains Artmotion.eu founder Mateo Meier. The company's services are particularly sought after by businesses from the US and UK. Recent unrest in the Middle East has seen an influx of customers from that region, seeking a safe haven for their data. "We're expecting our robust growth to continue. Our international clients clearly appreciate the speed, stability, and security of our offering," Meier notes.
