for maximum performance and safety
The secure fibre-optic connections are laid in the concrete blocks of the ewz power lines. We use our ultra high-performance, leading data transmission equipment on a modular basis – ideal for LAN and SAN connections between your data centres and company locations. Being a company of the city of Zurich makes us a safe, reliable partner
in every respect – now and into the future.
Thanks to our first-class infrastructure, you benefit from highest availability in line with your SLA. Geo-redundant design of the data connections, in-house installation and data transmission equipment can achieve availability of 99.99 per cent. Our on-call service is here to help – day or night.
We encrypt all data traffic with optional 10 or 100 Gbit/s AES 256 encryption modules – without additional overheads or appreciable delay. The key length of 256 bits and the automated key exchange using the Diffie-Hellmann algorithm ensure maximum security. The encryption is designed in line with FIPS-140-2 level 2.
The security of our services and products and our many years of experience have become the established standard. We plan, implement and operate your data connection – continuously and with local presence right up to the service access points at your locations. Every managed service is documented precisely and in detail (GIS documentation as kmz/kml file on request).
ewz.optical line
ewz.optical line is a premium managed service built on the latest xWDM and Ethernet technology. This dedicated layer 1 service is perfect for LAN and SAN connections, networking your company’s sites and connecting to data centres around Switzerland. Data is transferred transparently through dedicated fibre optics.
ewz.optical line/secure
ewz.optical line secure is based on the xWDM platform and a high-performance AES-256 encryption which encrypts all of layer 1 in hardware without generating appreciable delay or additional overhead. This ensures a highly secure transfer of your data at all times. Advanced encryption standard (AES) in counter mode (CTR) uses a key length of 256 bits to ensure maximum security. Additional protection is provided by the automated key exchange according to the Diffie-Hellmann algorithm. The encryption is designed in line with FIPS-140-2 level 2. Key management is carried out either by you or by ewz.
