Strategic partnership with Green Datacenter AG
Unimission operates its own Swiss Private Cloud as well as managed services in highly secure, certified Swiss data centers from Green Datacenter AG - for maximum availability, compliance and sustainability.
Why we rely on Green Datacenter
For many of our customers, one thing is clear: data belongs in Switzerland - secure, available and legally compliant. With Green Datacenter AG, we use one of the country's leading data center platforms in the greater Zurich area.

Sustainable and energy-efficient data centers
Green plans and operates its data centers with a clear focus on energy efficiency and climate protection. Cooling, energy supply and the building envelope are designed to minimize energy consumption.
At several locations, the waste heat from the data centers is fed into local heating networks and supplies industry and residential areas with climate-friendly heating. Natural cooling and renewable energies are also used.
For you, this means a modern, high-performance IT base with a significantly reduced ecological footprint.
Sustainability building blocks
- Energy-optimized data center architecture with modern cooling technology
- Use of waste heat for surrounding neighborhoods (district heating projects)
- Electricity mix with a focus on renewable energies
- Basis for low-CO₂ and offsettable IT services
Together with our sustainability partners, we can also offset any remaining emissions.
