EvoSwitch

What EvoSwitch does

EvoSwitch is a privately held, carrier-neutral colocation and interconnection operator founded in 2007 as a subsidiary of Ocom Group and headquartered in the Netherlands. The company operates 13 data centers across Europe (Amsterdam, London), Asia (Singapore), and North America (Boston, Denver, Edison NJ, Kansas City, Manassas VA, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Scottsdale, Springboro OH), aggregating over 10,000 m² of premium customer space (expandable to 30,000 m²) and meaningful hyperscale-ready campuses in Northern Virginia, New Jersey metro, and Phoenix. Its product portfolio is anchored in colocation (shared rack space to private cages and suites), cross connects, internet exchange peering partnerships (AMS-IX, NL-IX, LINX), and 24/7 managed support services, with sub-brands including the Green Fan sustainability program, IXroom community marketplace, and OpenCloud connectivity platform.

Underlying technology is built around carrier- and cloud-neutral architecture with significant sustainability investment: free cooling, indirect adiabatic cooling, hot-aisle containment, modular suite build-outs, and natural cooling from underground sites such as Kansas City (110 ft below grade) and Pittsburgh (220 ft below grade). Multiple sites operate at design PUE at or below 1.2, with claim of 100% renewable energy at select facilities and the stated first certified carbon-neutral European data center designation. Compliance coverage spans ISO 27001/9001/14001/50001, SOC 1/2/3 Type II, HIPAA, PCI-DSS Level 1, FISMA High / NIST 800-53, Uptime Tier III (with Gold Operations at Denver), and LEED Gold at the Boston site, positioning the company for healthcare, financial, and federal buyers.

EvoSwitch generates primarily recurring subscription revenue via quote-based monthly contracts for space, power, cross connects, and peering access, supplemented by managed service fees for remote hands and monitoring. Distribution is sales-led, enterprise-field sales with inside sales for quote requests, data center tours, and a self-service customer portal; it targets hyperscale customers, federal agencies, Fortune 1000 enterprises, and cloud/hosting/content/network service providers across its six named customer segments (cloud and hosting providers, enterprises, system integrators, healthcare providers, content providers, network service providers). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is customized to power density, redundancy, and contract length.
