green.ch, the leading Swiss ISP and hosting provider for SMEs, is today
announcing its plans to build a new multi-tier greenDatacenter in Lupfig in
the Canton of Aargau. This is probably the largest project of its kind ever
to be approved in Switzerland. With a surface area of over 10,000 m2, the new
greenDatacenter will combine the latest technologies with environmentally
sound systems, and will allow more customers to move their IT infrastructure
to a secure, reliable environment. The construction project should be
finished by summer 2010.

Following a careful study of possible locations, the management of
green.ch opted for Lupfig (AG), in the triangle formed by Zurich, Bern and
Basel, as the ideal place to build a new greenDatacenter. Lupfig is also
easily accessible for customers from the important regions around Lucerne,
Zug and Winterthur.

"We are expecting to see further growth in the number of customers using
our computer centres in the medium term, and therefore regard the
construction of another greenDatacenter as a strategic milestone, pointing
the way to further development for our company", says Adrian Schlund, CEO of
green.ch, on the decision to build an additional greenDatacenter.

The new multi-tier greenDatacenter is situated well away from potential
hazards such as rivers and lakes, railway lines, major airports and
motorways, and so provides the best possible protection from disasters or
damage to buildings and technical infrastructure. Another reason for the
decision was the ready availability of power in Lupfig. The new site also
meets all other specifications for a modern data centre.

"The new greenDatacenter will comply with ISO 27001 and satisfy all the
requirements of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA and
the Basel II Accord", says green.ch CTO Aldo Britschgi. Testing and
certifying compliance with these conditions will be carried out by the
relevant official certification bodies.

Thanks to its partnerships with all the main "fibre carriers" such as
Swisscom, Cablecom, Sunrise, Colt, Global Crossing and Litecom, the new
green.ch data centre will offer excellent connectivity and, with at least 4
separate data lines, maximum redundancy and availability.

Extremely strict security measures and regulations will be enforced in
and around the building to guarantee the complete security of the
greenDatacenter. The office building is also well-equipped with security
features. In the event of any special situations arising, there are rooms
available here for customers to use. Some greenDatacenter customers also rent
office space for their own staff. About half the office space is available to
green customers for this purpose.

As well as using high-end security measures such as pedestrian security
gates and complete video and RFID surveillance, green.ch will also employ
experienced professional security personnel who will be on site 24 hours a
day.

As a leading, environmentally aware company, green.ch attaches a high
priority to protecting the environment and reducing CO2 emissions. Thanks to
its ecological construction and the use of the latest environmentally
friendly materials, the green.ch data centre will play an active part in
helping to preserve the environment.

green.ch is using an innovative energy management system to guarantee
maximum energy efficiency in its data centre. green.ch also offers its
customers the option of supplying their servers with "green" electricity from
sustainable sources.

It goes without saying that the heat generated by the building itself and
the technical equipment will be recycled, for example by being used to supply
other buildings efficiently with heat.

green.ch plans to complete work on the new greenDatacenter in the summer
of 2010.
