That is why we have decided that today, May 20, 2021, we will migrate our cloud platform from AWS to the Swiss provider Exoscale .
This will not change anything for our customers. The URL cloud.seatable.io will remain the same, the platform will look the same as before. The actual files and databases of our current cloud customers will also only be moved a few kilometers as the crow flies, as both the AWS and Exoscale data centers are located in Frankfurt.
And yet it is a big step to turn your back on the france rcs data leading American infrastructure provider and switch to a Swiss company. This gives you and us the certainty that your data is now better protected and subject to European data protection requirements.
Why Exoscale instead of AWS?
We did not leave the choice of our infrastructure provider to chance. The following points were crucial for us when choosing our future infrastructure provider: reliable accessibility and high performance highest security standards in terms of data centers scalable object storage and flexible computing capacities similar costs as before with AWS automated installation options
With Exoscale we have found a provider that meets all of our requirements and also offers us the best performance, good service and all legal requirements. Exoscale's data centers not only meet all ISO standards, but also meet the requirements of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA , which is why Exoscale is also allowed to provide services and infrastructure for Swiss financial institutions. What is suitable for Swiss banks is just good enough for us and our customers. You can find more details about Exoscale's data centers here . Of course, we have signed a contract for data processing with Exoscale and secured access to the servers accordingly.
