Use cases

Sound familiar?

“Our server room isn’t enough any more: it lacks security and connectivity.”

How Colocation helps

Access control, video surveillance, gas fire protection, emergency power and redundant climate control are included. IPv4 subnets and network redundancy are available as options, BGP announcement and BGP IP-Transit on request.

“Our new servers need a lot of power.”

How Colocation helps

From 500 W in a Quarter Rack to 2,000 W in a Full Rack, included. Add more power in 1 kW steps, and dual power with an additional power supply bar for CHF 50.– per month.

“An outage at one site must not take us down.”

How Colocation helps

Two data centres: standard racks at NTS / ColoZüri in Zurich, Premium racks at NTT Zürich 1 in Rümlang. Combine one rack at each location, and add network redundancy and dual power as options.

“Our auditors ask for an ISO 27001 certified data centre.”

How Colocation helps

Our Premium racks with Cert+ are at NTT Zürich 1, an ISO 27001 certified data centre. The operator provides an ISAE 3000 Type 1 report relevant for outsourcing under FINMA Circular 2018/3. More in our Trust Centre.

“We can’t always be on site.”

How Colocation helps

Our Remote Hands restart or check your hardware on site. With the Remote Console IP-KVM you reach your server’s console from your browser.

Two Tier IV data centres in Zurich

Uptime Institute Tier IV ISO 9001 ISO/IEC 27001 Data centres in Switzerland

«The great advantage of working with Nine is: if a solution doesn't exist yet, we develop it together. When it became clear that the new GPU servers we had in mind wouldn't fit into additional racks in our existing environment, Nine showed flexibility and a can-do attitude. By setting up a second location with additional power strips, we not only met our new hosting requirements but also became more resilient. That's the kind of partner you want to work with.»
