Modernisation of the UNICC Data Centre Infrastructure

The UN International Computing Centre (UNICC) provides central IT services and data centre infrastructures for numerous organisations of the UN system as well as other international organisations and NGOs. To ensure the long-term functionality of this infrastructure and to strengthen Geneva as an international location, Switzerland is supporting the modernisation of the UNICC's technical infrastructure. In doing so, it is contributing to the provision of secure, high-performance and future-proof digital services for the actors of the multilateral system.
