Serverfarm

Data security already begins with the positioning and the performance of the server. The ESC’s surveys are operated by QuestBack (via www-servers) which is located in the high–performance computer centre of COLT Telekom in Hürth, Cologne.

Only authorized members of staff have access to the computer centre. It is well documented which members of staff enter the server rooms.

The systems are protected against fire through a fire detection system and an extinguishing system suitable for IT equipment.

Air conditioning and a system for monitoring the room temperature and humidity ensure that the ambient conditions always meet the specifications of the system manufacturers.

The systems are protected against power failure and under- and over voltage by means of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
