With all of the buzz about “the cloud”, it’s easy to forget the cloud is built with tons of copper, steel, cement — and not fuzzy cotton balls floating in the sky.
We are co-located in the EvoSwitch Datacenter in Haarlem, The Netherlands.
Evoswitch employs all the required safety and security measures required for Tier 3 and is ISO 20153 certified.
EU, not USA:
Evoswitch a fully European-owned company, and that’s of vital important: we’re not subjected to U.S. laws, UK laws, or any other non-Netherlands laws (or non-Cyprus laws). It’s is 100% owned and operated in Amsterdam, and that matters to us. We’re a European company with a mostly-European clientele. The NSA, FBI, CIA and other 3-letter USA entities have no authority here. Same for DMCA; we honor only proper Netherlands take-down notices.
