Regional presence: maximum proximity to business and research

The Geneva data center is being developed at The Hive technology park, in close proximity to CERN and at the heart of the Greater Geneva metropolitan region. This central location enables companies and research institutions to access their digital infrastructure directly. Short physical distances ensure stable networks, low latency, and optimal conditions for operating and scaling data-intensive applications.

At the same time, the location guarantees digital sovereignty and the highest security standards under Swiss law. Corporate and research data remains within Switzerland and is subject to local security and compliance requirements, ensuring maximum control and protection.

Technology: high-density data center for AI and HPC

The Geneva data center is designed as a high-density facility, purpose-built for artificial intelligence, high-performance computing (HPC), and demanding industrial applications. GPU-ready racks, state-of-the-art direct-to-chip liquid cooling (D2C), and a fully redundant infrastructure enable companies to run their projects efficiently and reliably on site.

Thanks to its modular design, IT capacity can be rapidly expanded as needed, supporting both local SMEs and specialized AI and research institutions alike. The data center delivers not only storage and computing power, but a scalable platform for innovation across the Greater Geneva region.

The Hive & CERN ecosystem: innovation on site

The Hive technology campus brings together companies, research institutions, and technology providers within a shared environment. Laboratories, offices, testing facilities, and flexible infrastructure create ideal conditions for the hands-on development of AI, high-performance computing, industrial applications, and scientific research.

Its proximity to CERN opens up additional opportunities for collaboration in research and innovation. Through close connectivity, joint projects, and the use of the data center’s residual heat, on-site companies and research institutions benefit from a sustainable, future-ready ecosystem that fosters long-term competitiveness and innovation.

Sustainability is at the core of what we do

Our entire operation is powered exclusively by renewable hydropower. At the same time, we efficiently repurpose the waste heat generated to provide environmentally friendly heating to nearby buildings. This creates an IT infrastructure that is not only reliable and secure, but also environmentally responsible—contributing to the local heat supply.
