Global Switch has announced today that it has successfully achieved multiple ISO accreditations across all its facilities.

Global Switch owns and operates ten world-class data centres, including one of EXN’s core sites, Global Switch London 2 (East). With all facilities built to a minimum of Tier 3 standard and now as the first large scale data centre provider in Europe and Asia Pacific to become fully ISO certified, the company looks set to maintain its market leading position.

The ISO certification was part of Global Switch’s Critical Environments Programme, launched in 2012, which by combining industry and Global Switch best practices created a world class standardised and structured approach to its operational environment.

We understand that the success of our business is driven by the continual improvement in the quality of the service we offer our customers, our impact on the environment, the regard for our employees, and the constant management of business risks. Completing certification of these four standards at each of our data centres at the scale we operate is a great achievement that reconfirms are absolute commitment to providing world class data centre solutions.
