Service Description
1.1 Power supply
All data centers have redundant power supplies in two separate electrical circuits. The electrical circuits are separately supported by uninterruptible power supplies. Backup batteries and diesel generators ensure the power supply over several days.
Requirements for Customer installations
Power feed: Redundant power feed to the individual racks. The Customer is personally responsible for the correct and redundant connection of equipment to the electrical circuit.
Power load Location Standard power load Maximum power load (optional) Zurich West Lupfig 1.5 kW/sq m 2.5 kW/sq m
Zurich North 1.5 kW/sq m 1.5 kW/sq m
Zurich Letzigraben 1.0 kW/sq m 1.0 kW/sq m
Brugg 1.0 kW/sq m 1.0 kW/sq m
1.2 Fire alarm system and fire extinguishing system
Smoke and fire alarm systems are installed in all green.ch data centers and are directly
connected to local fire stations. Our data centers are equipped with gas-based fire extinguishing systems.
Requirements for Customer installations
No combustible materials, such as packaging materials, etc. are to be stored in the data center zone. Metal cabinets are offered for storing spare parts, tools, etc.
1.3 Cooling systems
Three Green Datacenter AG data centers are equipped with redundant cooling systems. These systems may not be available at some smaller locations, but the air flow at these locations is also carefully controlled to minimize the risk of overheating.
Requirements for Customer installations
For optimal cooling and a low PUE, all IT equipment must be operated in a cold aisle. The cold aisle must have self-closing doors that prevent the doors from being unintentionally left open. Failure to observe this requirement will result in PUE values that are higher than average.
1.4 Raised flooring
As a rule, the data centers are equipped with electrically grounded, anti-static raised flooring.
Requirements for the Customer
For safety reasons, the raised flooring cannot be opened by the Customer. Opening of raised flooring must be announced in advance.
Load: The surface loading of the raised flooring may not exceed 1,000 kg/square meter. During installation, proper framework should be used to distribute the weight (the load caused by cable trays, etc. that we have installed is already taken into consideration in this weight requirement). Goods transported on pallets should not exceed 400 kg. If the goods are heavier than this, transporting plates must be laid out on the floors.
1.5 Security
Data is only as secure as the hardware on which it is stored and only as secure as the location where the hardware is operated. This is why Swiss Green Datacenter AG data centers are operated solely in Switzerland and guarantee customers the best security and data protection standards in line with Swiss data protection laws as well as national and international standards such as ISO 27001. Green Datacenter AG also ensures the physical security of all their equipment in their Swiss data centers.
Requirements for the Customer
Page 3 1.5.1 Physical security zones
In accordance with the intrusion prevention concept, five (5) physical security zones have been defined.
Security zone Description
Zone 0: public area Zone 0 includes nearby publicly accessible peripheral areas
outside the Green Datacenter AG building, such as parking areas, sidewalks, etc.
Zone 1: semi-public area Zone 1 includes the main entrance, the cafeteria, parking
garages, conference rooms, etc. that are easy to access.
Zone 2: staff area Zone 2 generally includes all Green Datacenter AG offices.
Zone 3: high-security area Zone 3 includes all rooms which need higher security
requirements with respect to data security, such as archives and rooms where strictly confidential documents are stored. This can include safes, closets, cupboards, and cabinets if Confidential Information is stored in them.
Zone 4: top security area Zone 4 includes all rooms assigned to the data center and all
rooms that are of vital importance to the operation of the data center (e.g. rooms containing technical systems).
The boundaries between the security zones are as follows: 1.5.2 Periphery/property borders
The periphery and property borders form the external boundaries for security level 0. 1.5.3 Property
The properties on which our buildings are located belong explicitly to security zone 0. 1.5.4 Building shell
The outer cell of the building, including all openings such as windows and doors make up the boundary between security zone 1 (semi-public area) and security zone 2 (staff area). In special cases, the building shell can belong to security zone 3 or 4. In this case, windows are expressly forbidden.
1.5.5 Building interior
The interior of the building belongs to security zones 1 to 4 depending on the purpose. Data centers, with the exception of the entry foyer, belong to security zone 4.
1.6 Storage
Green Datacenter AG data centers may not be used to store any materials or unused equipment. Fire prevention regulations expressly forbid the temporary or permanent storage of materials where they could hinder access to exits. This includes the aisles between the racks.
1.7 Forbidden materials
The Customer may not bring dangerous or forbidden materials into a Green Datacenter AG data center. This includes explosives, all sources of fire, food and drink, animals, cartons, and any other materials that could have a negative effect on the data center systems.
All equipment must be unpacked before it is brought into the data center. It is the Customer’s responsibility to remove all waste products associated with the Customer’s equipment (waste can be disposed of by Green Datacenter AG for a charge). No easily inflammable materials, such as paper, may be left in the rack.
1.8 Electrical hazards
The Customer must implement all precautionary measures required for electrical hazards. This includes wearing suitable antistatic clothing, not touching the racks or other customers’ equipment, not entering the data center with wet shoes, and other appropriate safety precautions.
1.9 Compliance
The services provided by Green Datacenter AG data centers meet the requirements of ISO 27001 and customer requirements with respect to outsourcing of business areas within the banking sector (FINMA circular 08/7). Green Datacenter AG will continue to comply with today’s and tomorrow’s standards through regular audits and by obtaining new certifications in order to provide customers the best data center space in Switzerland.
1.10 Card-based access protection around the clock
Access to the data center is solely possible using an electronic key card issued by Green
Datacenter AG. These cards can be disabled at anytime if necessary. The Zurich West and Zurich North data centers have extra biometric access protection (hand vein scanners).
1.11 Video surveillance
Our facilities have permanent remote surveillance. Strategically mounted cameras monitor key locations such as entrances and critical infrastructures to ensure the security of your equipment. Images recorded by the surveillance cameras are stored in accordance with existing data
protection standards and can be viewed by the Customer under justified circumstances.
1.12 Intrusion detectors
Our data centers are equipped with intrusion detectors that are connected directly to the operation center network and the security service.
1.13 Water detectors
Our data centers are equipped with leak detectors that monitor the floor and go off before water reaches electrical or data cables.
Page 5 1.14 Maintenance and fail-safe tests
In accordance with existing standards, Green Datacenter AG carries out maintenance and fail-safe tests for all electrical circuits, air conditioning systems, fire alarm and fire extinguishing systems, intrusion and water detection systems.
1.15 Backbone connections
Our data centers offer all redundant multi-carrier uplinks. The Customer can select from the 15 international carriers who currently provide the connections.
1.16 Customer Care Center
Members of our highly qualified, multilingual support team are available to answer your support and administrative questions at +43 56 460 23 43 or via the online ticket system at
