What Swiss Cloud Computing does

Swiss Cloud Computing — operating as "swisscloud by CONVOTIS" and legally constituted as CONVOTIS Schweiz AG — is a Swiss private cloud infrastructure and software delivery provider founded in 2013 and headquartered at Räffelstrasse 32, 8045 Zürich, with a second office in Rotkreuz. The company runs a modular cloud platform composed of six integrated services: myDESKTOP (hosted virtual Windows desktop with Microsoft Office and live backup), myAPPS (SME business software catalogue with 150+ supported applications including Abacus, SAP Crystal Report, Navision, Infoniqa, Proffix, Adobe Creative Cloud, AutoCAD, and others), mySERVER (self-service cloud compute with configurable RAM, CPU and storage from 2GB/1CPU/50GB instances), myMAIL (hosted mail with custom domain and 25GB storage), myFILESHARE (cross-platform file sharing), and myBACKUP (cloud backup from 10GB). The platform is built on Swiss-hosted infrastructure leveraging HPE hardware, Citrix Premier-level virtualisation for desktop and application delivery, Microsoft software licensed via SPLA, and NVIDIA partner technologies, with provisioning advertised at 15 minutes per application.

The company's primary customer base comprises Swiss SMEs (Mittelstand / KMU) seeking cloud-based IT infrastructure without managing local hardware or licensing, plus a network of 60+ Swiss IT resellers (Wiederverkäufer) who provision and manage end customers on the platform. Go-to-market combines a channel-led distribution model through the reseller base with direct self-service acquisition via the website (live demo, free trial "Kostenlos testen"). Revenue is generated through recurring monthly subscriptions per seat or per resource, supplemented by Microsoft SPLA sub-licensing fees and reseller-driven subscription contracts, with contracts auto-renewing at term end.

The platform's central differentiator is pure Swiss data residency — all data stored exclusively in Switzerland — which the company positions as a decisive purchasing factor for Swiss businesses with data sovereignty and Swiss/EU privacy-law obligations. The company has earned industry recognition through the 2015 Euro Cloud Award and Euro Cloud Swiss Award, and was named a "Top Arbeitgeber IT-Branche 2023" by the Schweizer Institut für Qualitätstests. Certifications include GDPR (DSGVO) compliance and PCI DSS-aligned security controls (TLS 1.2).
