What SLYNET does

SLYNET AG is a privately held Swiss cloud provider and managed IT services company headquartered in Lupfig, Aargau. Founded in 1997 and operating for over 20 years, the company serves Swiss small and medium-sized businesses as well as select enterprise accounts across diverse industries including hospitality, healthcare, automotive, construction, real estate, lighting, IT/media, GIS, and childcare. SLYNET positions itself around three pillars: Swiss data residency, fixed-cost pricing, and consultative customer relationships, operating from its own Tier-IV-Design certified datacenter as a 'single point of contact' for customer IT requirements.

The core technology stack is built on the company's own Swiss datacenter infrastructure with redundant systems, multi-factor authentication, VPN connectivity, ISO 27001/ISO 50001 certifications, and ISAE 3402 / FINMA compliance. Its product portfolio spans two flagship bundled offerings — All-in-One Private Cloud and Hybrid Cloud — plus more than 20 modular services including Cloud-Service, Virtual Server, Co-Location Managed, Webhosting, Managed Microsoft 365, Hosted Exchange, Hosted Telefonie (VoIP), E-Mail Archivierung, Premium Antispam, Online-Backup, VEEAM Cloud-Connect, Backup Microsoft 365, MFA, Managed Workplace, Managed Network und Firewall, and SelectLine ERP. Strategic tier partnerships with Microsoft (Silver), Swisscom (Business Gold), VEEAM (Cloud & Service Provider), and SelectLine anchor the technology and resale stack.

SLYNET operates a sales-led, consultative go-to-market model targeting customers throughout Switzerland, with revenue generated primarily through recurring monthly subscriptions (subscription_recurring) on bundled and individual services, supplemented by SelectLine ERP software licensing (licensing_royalties) and one-off IT transformation professional services. Pricing is denominated in Swiss Francs, with published unit prices for individual services (e.g., webhosting CHF 9.90/mo, virtual server CHF 49/mo, cloud-service package CHF 355/mo, Hosted Exchange 5-mailbox CHF 67/mo) and quote-based pricing for bespoke enterprise solutions. The company serves customers nationwide from a single Lupfig datacenter with a team of approximately 16 employees, including management, operations, technical staff, and two apprentices in IT platform development.
