Frequently asked questions about enterprise cloud
What is cloud migration and why is it important for an SME?
Cloud migration involves transferring all or part of your IT infrastructure — servers, data, applications — to online hosted environments. For an SME, this reduces costs associated with physical hardware, improves service availability, facilitates remote working and provides professional security without heavy investment in internal infrastructure.
What is the difference between public, private and hybrid cloud?
The public cloud (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud) offers shared resources with great flexibility and reduced costs. The private cloud is dedicated to your organisation, with maximum control and security. The hybrid cloud combines both — keeping sensitive data on a private infrastructure while benefiting from the flexibility of the public cloud for other uses. We help you choose the model suited to your situation.
Why host data in Switzerland rather than with an American provider?
American cloud providers (AWS, Azure, Google) are subject to the Cloud Act, which allows US authorities to access your data even if it is hosted in Europe. Hosting in Switzerland guarantees that your data remains under exclusive Swiss jurisdiction — which is particularly important for medical, legal, financial sectors and any company subject to the nFADP.
Will cloud migration disrupt my operations?
No, if it is well planned. Our phased approach guarantees service continuity throughout the migration. Each step is tested before going live, and critical switchovers are carried out during low-activity time windows to minimise any impact.
How much does a cloud migration cost for a Swiss SME?
The cost depends on the size of your infrastructure, the cloud model chosen and the level of support desired. Cloud generally reduces IT costs in the medium term by replacing large capital investments with predictable monthly subscriptions. We carry out a comparative financial projection before any migration.
Is our data secure in the cloud?
Yes, provided security is built in from the outset — which we do systematically. Encryption of data at rest and in transit, role-based access management, continuous monitoring, nFADP and GDPR compliance: our approach guarantees a level of security often superior to that of a non-specialised internal infrastructure.
Does 1SWISS1 also manage the cloud environment after migration?
Yes. We offer continuous management of your cloud infrastructure — monitoring, cost optimisation, updates, incident management and developments — as part of our managed services. You benefit from a high-performance infrastructure without having to manage it yourself.
