Given the cost, complexity and IT expertise involved in operating company data centres, demand for secure, flexible and reliable data centre solutions continues to grow. It has become apparent to Swisscom that, besides moving operations to the cloud, companies also want to keep some of their IT in Switzerland for resilience reasons. Colocation services are the ideal solution for this. With the Bonvillars data centre, Swisscom offers companies a highly secure, high-performance infrastructure for their business-critical applications and data. The data centre has been added to its extensive portfolio to meet rising customer demand for IT outsourcing.

Proven security standards for maximum data availability and protection

The Bonvillars data centre is a flexible and cost-efficient option for companies, enabling them to reserve capacities to manage utilisation peaks or cover occasional demand for increased performance, with data storage in Switzerland guaranteed. Company data is stored securely and monitored 24/7 at the Bonvillars data centre. Swisscom deploys state-of-the-art technologies and high-availability design for optimum security, reliability and resilience. The data centre in Bonvillars has been added to Swisscom’s existing portfolio and enables georedundant solutions to form part of the extensive network of Swisscom data centres across Switzerland in Basel, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne, Lugano and Zurich. This improves resilience and ensures the constant availability of company data.

Sustainable and energy-efficient IT operations

Swisscom’s data centres have been designed for optimum energy efficiency, thus enabling companies to reduce their CO2 emissions. Like its other data centres, Swisscom’s Bonvillars data centre is entirely operated using renewable energies, uses free cooling and supplements the on-site power supply with solar power.
