Digital Realty secures the SDEA "Gold+" label

Digital Realty's two data centers ZUR1 and ZUR2 in Glattbrugg underwent an intensive and demanding certification process by the SDEA (Swiss Datacenter Efficiency Association), in which they have now been recognized for their outstanding energy efficiency and low carbon footprint.

The ZUR1 data center, which can already look back on 24 years of operation, was awarded the "Silver+" label - a recognition of over two decades of excellence, innovation and continuous improvement of the infrastructure. ZUR2, which was commissioned in 2020, received the prestigious "Gold+" label. It represents a milestone in the sustainability of this industry: it is also the first "Gold+" certification awarded by the SDEA to date, an indicator of the outstanding efficiency and sustainability of the infrastructure evaluated in the certification process.

Yves Zischek, Managing Director of Digital Realty Switzerland, said proudly: "We are delighted that our ecological and sustainable approach has been recognized and certified by the SDEA. My special thanks go to our dedicated team in Switzerland, who made this outstanding achievement possible."

This certification is the result of continuous innovation by the local team in Glattbrugg. Digital Realty's clients also benefit from this focus on energy efficiency. Denis Marusic, Director Operations at Digital Realty Switzerland, emphasized: "This certification offers our clients the opportunity to strengthen their own sustainability goals by integrating their IT infrastructure with our certified data center platform. In this way, they achieve a fully certified and sustainable IT environment that reflects our shared commitment to energy efficiency and environmental responsibility."
