Case Study: Novatrend achieves secure, FINMA-compliant, scalable Swiss cloud hosting with Digital Realty

Underpinning Innovation for Cloud Services Provider Novatrend

Novatrend is a Swiss hosting and cloud services provider that needed to keep customer data in Switzerland to meet privacy, regulatory and banking (FINMA) requirements, and to support a hosted Salesforce.com Data Residency Option (DRO) for CRM partner Nexell. After experiences with an overseas colocation and demand for “green hosting,” Novatrend sought a nearby, trusted, compliant and resilient data centre to reassure customers and maintain operational control.

Novatrend colocated its infrastructure at Interxion’s Zurich data centre, benefiting from FINMA-compliant, carbon-neutral operations, strong carrier-neutral connectivity and physical proximity to its offices. The move created a secure, scalable environment that enabled Nexell to offer the first European hosted Salesforce DRO, improved resilience and connectivity, and supported Novatrend’s ongoing growth across Europe.
