Frequently asked questions about housing
What is housing?
Housing allows you to host your own servers or network appliances in a secure datacenter location without having to rent a full rack. It is a practical solution for smaller infrastructures that need a reliable physical presence in Switzerland.
What equipment formats are accepted?
We accept servers from 1U to 4U, as well as network appliances and technical equipment compatible with our standard racks.
What connectivity is available?
Housing includes IP connectivity via our autonomous AS198385 network, with native IPv4 and IPv6, multi-transit and peering on major European IXPs.
Who is housing suitable for?
Housing suits businesses with a small number of server units, technical teams with network appliances, or anyone who needs a reliable presence in Switzerland without investing in a full rack.
Can customers access housing equipment on their own?
No. Interventions on housed equipment are performed with AlpineDC team assistance. If autonomous, unaccompanied 24/7 access to your infrastructure is important for your operations, colocation is the more suitable option.
