You’re looking for a certified, high-performance cloud solution apart from US hyperscalers, that explicitly excludes the US Cloud and Patriot Act? The Swiss Open Telekom Cloud is based on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) guidelines and fully complies with the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG). Security and compliance features are fully integrated, and customer support and services are provided by a local Swiss team. Three availability zones ensure high business resilience and make sure that operations remain trouble-free and reliable.

The Swiss business world in particular places an exceptionally high value on data security and data autonomy. The Swiss Open Telekom Cloud is the ideal technological platform for these requirements and is therefore of particular interest to the finance and insurance industry, which we competently support in complying with specific regulatory requirements of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) using our proven expertise in the areas of information security, business continuity and IT service management. The healthcare sector and public sector also benefit from moving to the community cloud, where their sensitive data is securely stored and managed. This applies not only to Swiss companies, but also to international businesses that are looking to gain a long-term foothold in the Swiss market.

As is the case with a private cloud, a community cloud also offers participating companies the highest standards regarding the security of sensitive data. In contrast to a public cloud, the group of participants is carefully selected by the Telekom as gatekeeper. With two data centers and three availability zones in Bern and Zollikofen, the Swiss Open Telekom Cloud is technically entirely self-sufficient – the storage and processing of data generated exclusively within Switzerland is guaranteed.

As secure as the private cloud, as flexible as the public cloud: The Swiss Open Telekom Cloud is based on Openstack. This source solution is continuously being driven forward by a community of agile start-ups and established companies and is constantly growing. Today, it has over 100,000 members across 187 different countries. Their commitment has made OpenStack an important, global de facto standard for cloud infrastructures. With it, you remain flexible even if requirements change at short notice, as OpenStack prevents a vendor lock-in, keeping you independent.

Right out of the gate, the Swiss portfolio covers the basic Open Telekom Cloud services you need for your business. Thanks to OpenStack, it can be continuously adapted to your requirements as they grow. Let’s develop this joint platform together!
