Hosting and data

# Hosting and control of your data.

On premises, hosted in Switzerland or distributed: locations, access, costs and recovery are explained before you decide.

## Choose where your data and services are managed

Files, mail, applications, backups and AI tools do not necessarily have the same needs. Data location, access and operating conditions are examined service by service.

## Retain control of a confidential file

**Example need.** A law firm wants to keep its files on its own equipment while allowing remote access. Another prefers hosting in Switzerland. Both options are examined against required access, backups, support and recovery conditions.

Physical or virtualised servers, storage, access control, independent backups and restoration tests are examined. An exported copy is read outside the original service. Hosting location informs the choice; by itself, it does not guarantee confidentiality or compliance.

## Keep services on your equipment

Physical servers, virtual machines or compact infrastructure can be managed on your premises. You control that infrastructure, with the associated responsibilities for maintenance, security and backups.

## Use hosted services

A hosted service can simplify access to mail, files and applications. Useful functions, contracts, provider access, processing locations and recurring costs are examined. Hosting advertised as Swiss does not answer every question about data control on its own.

## Combine approaches

Some services can remain on premises while others are hosted. Access, data exchanges and backups are organised so that the whole remains understandable and manageable.

## Prepare data recovery

Export formats, independent copies and restoration options are defined. A test checks what can be recovered if a service becomes unavailable or you want to change solutions.

## Explain choices before migrating

A comparison presents initial work, operating costs, dependencies and constraints for each option. You can decide what should stay with you and what can be entrusted to an external service.
