Industrielle Werke Basel (IWB) (IWB)
The IWB Data Center in Basel serves as a high security, future ready hub for business critical IT operations. As a purpose built sole tenant facility in operation since 2000, it combines central accessibility with long term scalability. The infrastructure follows a robust Tier III design and is certified to ISO27001 and ISAE3402 standards, ensuring strict compliance with international security and financial reporting requirements.
Security and Reliability
Security is a core pillar of the IWB facility. The site is protected by 24 hour on site staff, strict access control systems, continuous video surveillance, and advanced alarm monitoring. Operational continuity is ensured through redundant n +1 power architecture, supported by UPS systems and backup generators. Environmental protection is reinforced by automatic fire suppression and n + 1 redundant air conditioning to maintain optimal operating conditions at all times.
Sustainability and Energy Efficiency
IWB sets a strong benchmark in sustainable data center operations by running entirely on renewable energy. Efficient cooling concepts and modern infrastructure design help optimize energy usage, supporting a maximum power density of 1 kW per square meter. This approach reduces environmental impact while delivering cost efficient and reliable infrastructure for customers.
Colocation and Scalability
The data center offers flexible colocation solutions tailored to different business needs, ranging from single racks to fully private suites. Available options include private rooms and suites, cages and footprints, and full, partial, or shared racks. While the focus is on physical infrastructure rather than managed or virtual services, customers benefit from professional installation services and remote hands support for hardware operations.
Connectivity and Carrier Neutrality
As a fully carrier neutral facility, IWB allows clients to choose from six network providers and connect to 23 peering networks. A dedicated meet me room provides redundant high speed connectivity to major national and international telecom operators. Free access to SwissIX peering further enhances connectivity, making the Basel location a strategic interconnection point for both local enterprises and global networks.
