Concrete examples of the support provided by our Data Center Solutions and Services

The customer requirement

Your IT system has reached the end of its life and can no longer meet the growing demands placed on modern IT systems. The data centre infrastructure must therefore be replaced, overhauled or rebuilt.

Our solution

Our interdisciplinary team of experts designs a high-availability, high-performing, scalable SDN-based infrastructure to underpin your innovative customer services. Your customers and employees can access systems and data more quickly than before, backups are faster, and the administration is more efficient. Moreover, the software-defined network facilitates the provision of automated processes to customers, thereby further improving self-service options.

How we supported Die Mobiliar

The customer requirement

Your company has several sites in Switzerland. Depending on your projects, you may also have additional temporary local offices. The work generates large volumes of data, which are used throughout the company. You need a secure and powerful network on which to exchange this data.

Our solution

Cisco ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure) is an advanced software-defined network. Your IT employees can control the network centrally using a dashboard and no longer have to configure the hardware locally. This reduces travel time, shortens response time, reduces the burden on your IT resources and improves long-term efficiency. We design the network with you, roll it out and provide as much support as you need.

How we supported Halter AG

The customer requirement

Your customers entrust you with their sensitive data, such as credit card information. This data must be protected. It takes time and IT resources to develop, operate and monitor a secure and high-availability infrastructure to extend your own data centre. You want to outsource this type of task so that you can focus on your core business.

Our solution

With Telehousing metro, you can lease a separate room for your servers and data in one of our data centres. Here, your IT infrastructure is protected from fire, sabotage, water and unauthorised access. Secure access is governed by a multi-stage biometric access system, and any power failures or interruptions are seamlessly bridged by emergency generators. Our experts monitor the data centre around the clock and provide support to your on-site IT specialists.

Our data centres in short

We operate seven data centres in Switzerland for our business customers, where we provide hosting, housing and a comprehensive portfolio of cloud computing and managed services. There is sure to be one in your area:

Basel-Grosspeter
Bern-Wankdorf
Geneva-Montbrillant
Lausanne-Savoie
Lugano-Cinque Vie
Zurich-Enge
Zurich-Herdern

Protection from natural disasters, such as earthquakes, flooding or lightning strikes
Differentiated security zones with selective biometric access rights
Experts providing initial on-site intervention (24/7/365)
Optimised processes between IT and infrastructure operators
Permanent server and application monitoring by the Operation Control Center in Ittigen
Our processes comply with ISO standards 9001, 14001, 14064, 15504 and 27001. The Wankdorf data centre is the first data centre in Switzerland to have received Tier IV certification from the Update Institute in recognition of the fact that it meets the highest standards of availability, security and efficiency.

In the event of a power outage, all systems continue to run without interruption:

Power supply and electricity distribution
Ventilation, cooling and air-conditioning systems
Measurement, management and control systems

Redundant network connections for the data centres and customer networks
Rapid adjustment to change, particularly in electrical and air-conditioning supply
Georedundant data storage with almost 100% availability during outages thanks to mirrored systems and applications in a second data centre

Sustainability is just as important to us at our seven data centres as performance, security and availability.

The Wankdorf data centre is a case in point. With a PUE value of 1.3 and over 84% efficiency, this facility is highly energy efficient. The Wankdorf data centre is connected to the City of Bern’s district heating network and feeds waste heat into the network to heat homes and offices. It is cooled using a resource-saving hybrid cooling system (air circulation and evaporation) rather than conventional energy-guzzling cooling plants.

Our Wankdorf data centre in Bern

Our Wankdorf data centre is one of the most advanced data centres in Switzerland and has Tier IV certification, the highest quality accolade in the world.
With a PUE value of 1.2, it is highly energy efficient. The waste heat generated is used to heat homes.
We have invested 3 years and CHF 60 million into our most advanced data centre.
