Data Center Schweiz: Wie sieht der Schweizer Markt für Rechenzentren aus?

Data center operators (data center providers) are constantly developing on the Swiss data center market. With over 90 data centers, Switzerland has the second-highest density of data centers in Europe after the Netherlands. However, more than three quarters of data center space (Data Center Switzerland) is located in the Zurich, Geneva and Bern regions. Many new data centers are being planned, and some well-known names such as Datahub Networks and Deltalis have disappeared. The new hyperscalers on the market - one of the data center trends - are also having an impact on the market. This is because not every provider is suitable for the requirements of hyperscalers. Important players in the growing market are Green Datacenter, Oracle, Tineo (formerly Quickline), NTT (incl. E-Shelter), Levantis, Brainserve, Colt and GTT Communications. Increasing cloud migration and rising equipment performance density are seen as important market developments. This is because increasing digitalization requires computing power. However, the country's independence also plays a role in the choice of Switzerland as a location for data centers. This is because Switzerland has its own data protection requirements, which promote sovereignty. However, providers based in this country do not have to comply with the requirements of the European Union, such as the General Data Protection Regulation. A clear advantage of Data Center Switzerland. And yet Data Center Google, for example, does not have its own location in Switzerland. Data center systems must function smoothly, with as little downtime as possible and maximum availability of business applications. To ensure this, Data Center Switzerland also requires proactive monitoring of all units by means of modern data center monitoring.
