Colocation in Switzerland
You own your hardware and you want to keep it. What it needs is redundant power, controlled cooling, network and a serious building. That is exactly what colocation provides.
Colocation suits organisations with good reasons to remain the owners of their servers.
A recent hardware investment that it would make no sense to abandon. A licensing constraint tied to the hardware. An internal policy requiring the machines to belong to the company. Or simply the wish to keep control of the hardware while getting out of the business of running a server room on your own premises.
In all these cases you keep your hardware and your control; the data centre provides what an office server room cannot: redundant power, generators, redundant cooling, physical security and access control.
Available locations
From the smallest to the largest, depending on what you have to install.
Single units
From 1U, for an individual server or a network device.
Quarter and half cabinets
Partial locations, with a combination lock, for a small infrastructure.
Full cabinet
A complete, enclosed cabinet for your use alone.
Several cabinets
For larger infrastructures, with an arrangement agreed with you.
Access to your hardware
You reach your equipment according to the agreed terms and the data centre’s access procedures.
Additional services
Where needed, data centre services can complement the location: on-site intervention, connectivity, backup of your machines onto our infrastructure.
What colocation includes, and what it does not
Colocation provides the location, the power, the cooling, the physical security and the network access. The hardware remains yours: its purchase, warranty, maintenance and administration are your responsibility.
If you would like to delegate part of the operations — monitoring, interventions, backups — that is defined separately. And if you would rather stop buying hardware altogether, our dedicated servers and virtual machines answer the same need without any investment on your part.
Pricing
Offer on request.
The price depends on the location chosen, the electrical power required, connectivity and any additional services. Describe your hardware and we will produce an offer.
