Zurich I (ZRH1) Data Center Campus

Vantage’s Zurich I campus will use a highly efficient closed-loop chilled water system generated through air-cooled chillers. An integrated economizer capability will allow reduced compressor energy based on outside ambient temperature–when weather is favorable, cooling becomes more sustainable and less resource intensive. The system will recapture waste heat to provide comfort heating to the remainder of the building.

• N+1 overall, N+2 component-level redundancy across mechanical systems
• Computer Room Air Handling (CRAH) units located in two galleries on opposite sides of each data module allow for highly efficient airflow distribution
• Closed-loop chilled water system with air-side economizers
• Water Utilization Efficiency (WUE) will be near zero (liters/kW/hr) using the latest cooling design

Fiber pathways into our Zurich I campus will be multiple and diverse, with access to both dark and lit fiber. The campus will be carrier neutral, giving customers the flexibility to manage their own network.

• Two meet-me-rooms (MMRs) for each of the three data centers comprising the campus, allowing for diverse paths and multiple connectivity options
• Diverse fiber routes to the Rümlang data centers
• Four points-of-entry (POEs) for the campus ensuring maximum path diversity for inbound carriers
• Diverse fiber pathways into the campus (minimum 2 paths per carrier)

Stringent security and safety measures are hallmarks of every Vantage campus. Our Zurich I data center campus is no exception, so you can rest easy when it comes to the security of your digital assets.

• On-site security operations center with patrols 24x7x365
• K12-rated fencing around the perimeter
• CCTV on all access control points throughout the entire campus
• Dual authentication for customer and critical infrastructure areas
• Visitor management system with controlled and monitored access points and stringent access control policy

Our commitment to offering a superior customer environment is unsurpassed. Providing an atmosphere within each data center that helps you and your personnel relax, recharge and work more efficiently is essential. All three Zurich data centers will include dedicated customer office space, conference rooms and break rooms.

• Dedicated offices and workspaces customizable to your needs
• Secure storage with easy access between data modules
• Multiple conference rooms and meeting spaces throughout the campus
• Located just a short drive from the Zurich Airport

Vantage Data Centers builds and operates our campuses in ways that prioritize sustainability and environmental responsibility, all while delivering the reliability that is our hallmark. Our baseline approach includes using renewable energy whenever possible, limiting carbon footprints, and maintaining energy efficient operations with industry-leading PUEs. Our Zurich I campus delivers on this promise.
