Server Colocation in a Zurich Datacenter from 1 U up to a full rack, also for Mac and GPU workloads.
We have leased rack space in two Tier IV datacenters in Zurich, equipped with our own backbone AS49489, 24/7 hands-on service and, on request, direct connectivity to our private cloud.
Rack space from 1 U up to a full 42 U rack in two leased Tier IV datacenters in Zurich City and Ruemlang.
Power, cooling and physical building security come from the datacenter operator. The backbone, active network and hands-on service come from ClearMedia.
Datacenter infrastructure that no office server room ever matches.
Tier IV datacenters
Two leased sites in Zurich City and Ruemlang, Tier IV compliant, operated by established Swiss DC operators.
Redundant power
A/B power feeds with UPS and diesel generators, supplied and regularly tested by the datacenter operator.
Precision cooling
Cold/warm aisle separation with redundant climate control, temperature-monitored, with optimised cooling for high-density workloads (Mac Studio, GPU boxes).
Our own backbone
Connectivity over our own network AS49489, geo-redundant across both sites. Own VLANs transparently across the sites.
Physical security
Biometric access, CCTV, lockable racks and early fire detection are part of the datacenter operation.
Remote hands from us
Swiss engineers carry out hardware work on site: reboots, cabling, drive replacement, around the clock.
Also for Mac mini, Mac Studio and NVIDIA Spark.
Classic 19-inch servers still make up the majority. But we see increasing demand for compact Apple gear and GPU boxes for AI workloads. For this hardware we have prepared dedicated rack spots with adjusted cooling and our own mounting brackets.
- Mac mini and Mac Studio in compact custom brackets, neatly inside the rack profile.
- NVIDIA Spark and comparable GPU boxes with extended cooling for higher TDP.
- Suited to AI training and inference, build servers, macOS CI runners.
- Available as standalone spots or mixed with classic servers in the same rack.
- Power, data network and access identical to a classic rack setup.

Your own hardware and our cloud in the same datacenter.
Colocation does not have to be either-or. Your servers sit in the same datacenter as our cloud platform. The link between them runs across our internal network, short and fast, without going over the public internet.
- Low-latency coupling of your hardware to our private cloud.
- Backup of your colocation systems into our geo-redundant platform.
- Stepwise transition from owned hardware into the cloud, no physical move.
- One contact for colocation, network and cloud.
What often pairs well with colocation.
Server & Storage
We supply and install Dalco servers or NetApp storage that then sits in our datacenter, in your rack.
Private Cloud
Instead of owning hardware: virtual servers on our platform, in the same datacenters, with a fixed monthly price.
Backup
Encrypted 3-2-1 backups of your colocation systems, geo-redundant into the second datacenter, with restore tests.
Firewall & VPN
Hardware firewall cluster in front of your colocation environment, plus secure site-to-site and mobile VPN connectivity.
Business Internet
Connectivity from your site to the datacenter over our symmetric fibre, with guaranteed bandwidth.
IT outsourcing
When colocation is only one building block: we operate your entire IT, from clients to rack.
Often asked before moving into the datacenter.
No, we lease space in two Swiss Tier IV datacenters in Zurich City and Ruemlang. Power, cooling and physical building security are provided by established DC operators. The active network (AS49489), the hardware firewall clusters and the hands-on service come directly from ClearMedia.
Already from 1 U. As soon as an office server room hits limits on power, cooling or availability, colocation is often cheaper and safer than upgrading on site.
Yes. We have dedicated rack spots with optimised cooling and our own brackets for compact Apple gear and NVIDIA boxes like the Spark. Suited to AI workloads, build servers or macOS CI.
You keep ownership of your systems. For physical work (reboots, cabling, drive replacement) our remote hands service is available around the clock. Defined response times can be agreed in the SLA.
Yes. Connectivity runs across our own backbone AS49489 and spans from 1 Gbps up to 100 Gbps per port, without changing provider.
Your colocation hardware already sits in the same datacenter as our cloud platform. A transition is possible step by step, fully or in parts, without another physical move.
