Data centers – how important is the environment to you?

Modern data centers are built ecologically from the ground up. For example, your waste heat is used in nearby buildings, cooling is produced from the open air, and cold aisles are separated from hot aisles. This is extremely difficult to achieve in existing infrastructures. In addition, the biggest cost driver is electricity, and this is largely required for generating cooling and air flow followed by the associated losses. In a properly dimensioned professional data center, these infrastructure costs are optimized and shared across many customers and space. This allows for completely different price structures. Investing in the modernization of an outdated data center is no longer a good idea. Repurpose your space and outsource your servers to a data center near you. Your CFO will be pleased with the amount of money you save.

On-premises data centers have many hidden costs that are charged to different accounts, including room rental, electricity, staff, servers, insurance, etc. It is usually not easy to create a total cost overview.

Download our TCO (total cost of ownership) calculator and in a few minutes you will receive a total cost calculation based on benchmark values for your data center in comparison to a provider solution.

Work with a data center and cloud service provider like Netrics. You can continue to run your existing servers in our data centers and gradually transfer them to the cloud. You can start new applications right away in the private or public cloud – depending on compliance requirements. We manage your hybrid infrastructure from a central source.

Today, computing and storage capacity can simply be obtained on demand as a service from the public cloud. However, not all infrastructure components and applications are suitable for a transition to the cloud. Legal issues often play a role here as well. However, you still don’t have to operate expensive data center infrastructure in-house. In our state-of-the-art data centers, we offer you the ideal location for your IT infrastructure – from a single rack to a private room. What’s more, you can get the best of both worlds with a hybrid solution that combines services from the public cloud with infrastructure from the data center.

More and more IT infrastructure is being migrated to a data center or directly to the cloud. High-performance and stable connections are required to ensure communication between the locations, the data centers or the cloud. Businesses often already have long-standing relationships and contracts with specific providers. Our six data centers, based in three different regions of Switzerland, are carrier-neutral. We cooperate with over 40 providers and help you to continue using your existing connections. Or we can help you to make the best possible selection of cables, IP transit, peering agreements, dark fibers or connections to the public cloud when upgrading.

Create your backup in an external data center and ensure georedundant data storage. Contact us and we will design the right colocation setup for you.

Strict requirements from building laws and regulations regarding ecological aspects make the construction of a data center almost impossible or very expensive in many cities. The installation of air-conditioning systems or extensive backup power systems with diesel generators are often prohibited or require a special permit that is very difficult to obtain. The requirements for energy use are becoming even stricter, as the Energy Strategy 2050 shows. Only data centers that are designed and built ecologically from the ground up achieve good ecological values (PUE). In addition, shared facilities are much more ecological. Electricity costs are saved in the external data centers, which also reduces costs for the customers who use them.

One more reason for companies to outsource the data center services they need.
