Data colocation service providers may hold
the key to reaching challenging Swiss sustainability goals, ISG
Provider Lens™ report says
The growing reliance of Swiss enterprises on complex multicloud
solutions is increasing demand for services to help manage those
clouds, according to a new research report published today
by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global
technology research and advisory firm.
The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ Private/Hybrid Cloud — Data Center
Services report for Switzerland finds the popularity of multicloud
approaches in Switzerland stems from a goal of minimizing
redundancies and avoiding downtime. The complexity of such
environments is spurring growing demand for comprehensive cloud
management capabilities, the ISG report says.
“The Swiss demand for cloud management services,
industry-specific platforms and site reliability engineering (SRE)
solutions is growing continuously,” said Uwe Ladwig, managing
director, ISG Switzerland. “Service providers can help companies
efficiently evaluate workload migrations and offer customized
infrastructure solutions.”
Competition between providers of hybrid IT and colocation
services in Switzerland is expected to intensify as enterprises
increasingly seek solutions that are both flexible and secure, the
ISG report says. According to the report, Switzerland is one of the
leading nations in Europe for managed hybrid cloud services.
Meanwhile, commercial enterprises, banks and insurance companies,
the healthcare sector and public administrations are turning to the
services of colocation providers and moving their infrastructure to
their data centers, ISG says.
The reasons for these migrations are many. Swiss enterprises
look to colocation providers for improved operational security,
adherence to compliance requirements and the rapid provision of
secure connectivity worldwide, the ISG report says. In addition,
some of these providers offer state-of-the-art IT infrastructure
systems that can be easily scaled and provide a basis for a hybrid
cloud, the report says.
Another factor that has grown increasingly important for Swiss
enterprises is sustainability, the ISG report says. In fact, Swiss
data centers will be required to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030,
the report says.
“Green technologies, energy recovery systems, and the use of
green energy, monitoring and optimization will all become mandatory
soon in Switzerland,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global
leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “This is a challenging goal
that many Swiss enterprises may find difficult to meet without
assistance from data colocation service providers.”
The report also examines why several large global system
integrators are losing customers to small and midsized service
providers.

services challenges that enterprises in Switzerland face, including
a shortage of talent and issues surrounding AI, along with ISG’s
advice for addressing them, see the ISG Provider Lens™ Focal Points
