There are now a number of providers on the market that offer virtual data center solutions. Different approaches and technologies are used, but basically, they all offer a public or private cloud infrastructure for building IT environments. Why you will choose our Xelon HQ when you take a closer look, you will find out here!

 

1. flexibility and pay per use

These two features are standard and also part of the Virtual Datacenter's raison d'ĂȘtre. It was developed precisely for these requirements. You should be able to start quickly and easily in the cloud era and only pay what you need. Especially for startups and small businesses, these features are hugely important. These groups of companies are usually not swimming in liquid funds.

2. scalability at the click of a mouse with Virtual Datacenter solutions

Let's assume you're a software engineer. To test your developments quickly and easily, you need a test environment. But this should not differ massively from the productive environment. In the Virtual Datacenter, you can efficiently boot up your test environment in just a few mouse clicks and expand your resources as required.

3. cloud-only or hybrid but please completely in Switzerland

Not all market competitors can offer the data location Switzerland. Even if the data center is located in Switzerland, this does not protect the international hyper scalers, such as Microsoft, from the Cloud Act issue. We as Xelon are completely Swiss owned and our data centers are all located on Swiss soil. However, the issue of data location is not the only construction site for vDC providers. We often encounter the scenario at the customer site that there is still runnable hardware with a warranty. To overcome this hurdle, we offer the possibility to make the step into the cloud as comfortable as possible. Unlike hyper scalers, we can migrate the old existing hardware to one of our ISO certified data centers and connect directly through Xelon HQ. This opens up the possibility to work with a hybrid infrastructure or move forward with the cloud migration at your own pace.

4. management of virtual data center solutions

We don't use a third-party product to manage the cloud. Most rely on Onapp or vCloud Director. To provide a perfect product for the Swiss IT channel, we have developed our Xelon HQ Management completely in-house. What advantages does this have? We can customize it to your needs! Our HQ evolves with you. In addition to countless available templates and scripts, which are constantly growing, we can, for example, offer IT system integrators white labeling including automatic billing to end customers.
