Switch Coldstore

Switch Coldstore provides simple long term storage for research and administrative data to researchers, lecturers and IT-services of Swiss universities and related institutions. Data preservation and archiving can be daunting for researchers and administrations. A perspective of 5-10 years or longer can quickly build up complexity and cost. Switch Coldstor makes storing and retrieving data simple and cost efficient. Connected to Switch LAN, data transfer speed supports sustainable archiving and backups and a Switch edu-ID integrated management portal enables delegation of quotas and access. Switch Coldstore can complement existing on-site or Switch Engines storage solutions by providing a remote copy.
