Now Open: ALP2 – Our Safest and Greenest Hosting Region

Introduction

Just imagine: you can put your mind at ease, safe in the knowledge that your business-critical data and systems are under lock and key to the highest standards of physical security within a reliable, sustainable carbon-neutral data center bunker in the heart of Switzerland. While Switzerland does possess secure infrastructure and a stable political environment, physical weaknesses – such as electromagnetic pulse radiation, damage by flying objects or destruction by bombs – are often not fully considered in risk assessments. To bring our customers’ data security to the highest level, we have decided to offer an additional location in one of the most secure data centers in the world. Today marks an exciting milestone: We are thrilled to announce the launch of our newest hosting region, ALP2.

Super Secure bunker

The security and sovereignty of important business data is of utmost importance – now more than ever. The ALP2 data center was designed to take into account the strictest environmental and security criteria. It provides your data with secured protection against threats, whether extreme weather conditions, seismic activity or electromagnetic disturbances. The underground bunker’s structure, combined with round-the-clock video monitoring and biometric access control, brings it to the ultimate standard for physical protection. The building is equipped with an oxygen reduction and smoke removal system to ensure fire protection.

Carbon Neutral Green Cloud

In addition to the physical security measures, we can also proudly say that the ALP2 region is solely powered by energy from renewable sources. It uses state-of-the-art technology to guarantee efficient and effective operational processes. Lake water ensures a stable energy supply for cooling, and waste heat is used for heating neighboring residential areas. These measures underline our efforts to offer not only a secure, but also an environmentally friendly cloud infrastructure - a true green cloud.

New Storage-Tier

A major enhancement with our latest region ALP2 is our new storage tier, powered by enterprise-grade storage systems from Pure Storage. This offers outstanding performance thanks to 100% NVMe-powered disks and enables extremely fast and efficient volume snapshot and volume clone creation. Our compute instances (VMs) and Kubernetes clusters in particular benefit from this by experiencing improved speed and flexibility in their operations.

Compliance

Just like our other existing regions, we only rely on premium data center suppliers. The ALP2 region is certified according to ISO 27001 and TÜViT (Level 3 Extended), thus underlining to our customers that their data is saved in a secure, standards-compliant environment.

Summary

We are delighted to be able to offer all our customers access to the ALP2 region with immediate effect. Our commitment to sustainability and security makes the ALP2 data center the ideal choice for companies looking to protect their critical data and systems.
