Data center engineering in Switzerland.
Switzerland combines very high on-site cost with strict data-residency expectations, so operators optimise for getting it right in one visit. Canton-level language differences and bank-sector scrutiny shape how work is documented.

Local delivery context
The details that matter on site.
Regulatory context
- nFADP (revised Federal Act on Data Protection) and Swiss data-residency expectations
- FINMA circulars on outsourcing for banks and insurers
- EU GDPR where Swiss operations touch EU personal data
Safety & site access
- SUVA rules and EKAS directives for contractor safety
- Written permit for work on or near live electrical parts
The customer’s site rules and contract take precedence. Standards, access requirements and response times are confirmed for your specific facility during scoping.

Access & working windows
Plan around the facility.
Banking-sector sites require named engineers, photo ID and often a background declaration. Plan 48 hours for first access.
Zurich and Geneva hubs give ten-hour mobilisation. High labour cost makes planned multi-task visits more economical than repeated call-outs.
Working languages: German, French, English, Italian in Ticino.
Power & testing
Verify, then hand over.
230/400 V, 50 Hz. IEC 60320 C13 and C19; Type J (SEV 1011) on auxiliary circuits.
IEC 61935-1 certification, fibre to IEC 61280-4-2. Reports delivered in the language of the canton or in English.
Local questions
Before you build in Switzerland.
Can you guarantee Swiss data residency?
Our Swiss work is performed by engineers resident in Switzerland or the EU, and no customer data leaves the site. We do not operate a Swiss-registered entity, which matters if you require a purely domestic contractor.
How do you keep cost down given Swiss rates?
By batching. We combine rack build, cabling and commissioning into a single mobilisation and pre-stage materials, so you pay for one visit rather than three.
Which languages do your engineers cover?
German, French and English across Zurich and Geneva, with Italian available for Ticino. Tell us the site and we will staff to match.
