Primary Data Center in Turin
CSI can offer 2 modern data centers: the main one in Turin and the secondary one in Vercelli.
Turin data center is located within CSI-Piemonte premises of Corso Unione Sovietica 216.
Since 1978, when it was opened, it has been hosting all the computing platforms more and more
advanced from time to time: starting from the big mainframes IBM and Hitachi in the eighties and
nineties to the Cray super computer (1991), to the SUN E-15 and E-25 k, till the current HP BL460C and
BL660C with blade technology and Intel G9 processors.
Today the data center is divided in 4 large areas within a security ring: YELLOW AREA (high density)
and BLUE AREA (medium density) with servers, storage and tape library;
ORANGE AREA for network equipment and an enclosed area dedicated to connectivity providers
(carrier room); VIOLET AREA currently under renovation for PA infrastructure co-location.
In 2015 CSI Piemonte data centers were awarded the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification on Facility
Management service security.
