The federal government wants to identify systemically important data centers

The Bundesamt für Landseconomic Supply (BWL) is currently working with banks to identify system-critical data centers, for example for payment transactions. This is to ensure that they continue to work in the event of a blackout. (picture icon)

“It’s less trivial than it might sound,” Kurt Rohrbach, deputy for national economic supply, said in an interview published Saturday in “Switzerland at the Weekend.” The working group, which also includes the National Bank, is making good progress.

The fact that it is not yet known which data centers should continue to operate in the event of an emergency is not the fault of the company administration: “Already in September 2021, the national economic provision puts together with the electricity industry and the then Federal President Guy Parmelin, pointed out the consequences in videos of a power shortage. The interest was zero. Both in the media and in business.” Only when there is an actual threat of a shortage are the actors brought to the table.
