Data centers – the safe haven for your data

In the age of digitalization, data centers play a decisive role for companies from the enterprise segment and for ambitious SMEs. This is particularly true when it comes to scaling, the level of flexibility required today and cost optimization. Meeting all the security, availability and energy efficiency requirements associated with your own data center can prove to be expensive. In hybrid or georedundant scenarios, setting up your own data center site is unlikely to pay off. In our state-of-the-art Swiss data centers of our partners in the Basel, Bern, Biel and Zurich regions, we offer you an outstanding, flexible
framework to accommodate your infrastructure, applications and data. We are responsible for all data center operations and, in combination with our network services, ensure a high-performance connection to your locations or to the major cloud providers. Our data center migration services help you to rehome your infrastructure quickly and efficiently. On request, we can also assist you with our IMAC services (install, move, add and change) with respect to dismantling your data center, any associated waste disposal, or converting the space that has become free.

Eight data centers in the Netrics network

We have eight rented data centers in the in German-speaking Switzerland. Each one is fully connected to our backbone and important main internet nodes (PoPs, “points of presence”). All eight data centers are carrier-neutral and have connections to major hyperscalers such as Microsoft Azure (Express Route), AWS and Google Cloud.

Whether you’ve already begun your journey or are still at the planning stage, as an experienced partner we’ll accompany you every step of the way to the data center.

We support you in all phases and processes as part of innovation or installation. Our comprehensive advisory service for data center infrastructure goes through the following structured steps:
  • Strategic advice
  • Support during the tender process
  • Support in the selection process for guidelines, regulation or marketing strategies
  • Assessment of data centers, infrastructures and risk management, geared towards a second opinion

Would you like an analysis of your current in-house data center? We analyze your existing data center with respect to the criteria of air conditioning and cooling, raised floors, rack installations, fire extinguishing, protection and sub-distribution in the data center, uninterruptible power supply and structural measures. We carry out a range of tests and you get a comprehensive report with recommendations for action.

How you benefit

You get an exact picture of your current data center’s actual situation and, based on our final report, you can confidently make decisions about how you want to meet your data center requirements in the future.

Do you know how much your in-house data center is costing you?

We help you calculate the total cost of ownership (TCO) of your data center. You’ll find out how to lower your CAPEX and discover how much it is costing you to run your IT infrastructure (OPEX). You’ll learn how an outsourcing model could help you optimize your costs.
