Challenge

Flow Swiss AG is a premium cloud provider operating according to the highest security standards. As one of the leading public cloud service providers in Switzerland, Flow works exclusively with the best data centers in Switzerland. In search of an exclusive data center, Flow sought a data center that reflects the quality standards of their company and meets the high demands of their discerning customers.

It was particularly important for Flow that the data center fully complies with all modern security standards to protect their customers' sensitive data and systems and is also certified according to the ISO-27001 standard. Additionally, the company ensures that their CO2 footprint is kept as low as possible, which is increasingly important to their customers. Finally, Flow was looking for a location in Central Switzerland that is ideally connected and easily accessible.

Solution

Flow Swiss AG has found an ideal partner in the Stollen Luzern data center for storing their customers' business-critical data and systems in Central Switzerland. Under the region name «ALP2», the company expands its reach in Switzerland and relies on the Stollen Luzern data center with its unique location in an underground bunker.

Maximum physical security in the flood-protected bunker, biometric access control, continuous measurement of all environmental factors, and maximum fire protection meet 100 percent of the security requirements of Flow and their customers. Additionally, the redundant design of all vital systems and the financial security and stability of the data center with ewl as an investor provide unparalleled security.

As a data center with a minimal CO2 footprint, the Stollen Luzern data center is already one of the most sustainable data centers in Switzerland. By operating with CO2-neutral electricity, natural cooling with water from Lake Lucerne, or using waste heat in its own energy network, it meets the highest ecological standards. As a member of the Climate Neutral Data Center Pact, the Stollen Luzern data center has set the ambitious goal of becoming fully CO2-neutral by 2030.
