Helbling Technik was contracted to carry out an analysis to assess the complexity of a complete migration of the existing server infrastructure. In its role as the national weather service, MeteoSchweiz carries out meteorological and climatological work which benefits the population, the economy, and public institutions. Assessment of the complexity of a complete migration of the existing server infrastructure required an analysis that demonstrated the strengths and weaknesses of a migration while taking account of the potential opportunities and risks involved.
