Swiss cloud infrastructure provider with FINMA-compliant datacenters and hybrid cloud services
nexellent operates three FINMA-compliant, ISO-certified datacenters in the Zürich region and runs its own fiber backbone as a licensed Swiss telecom provider. The tech stack is heavily Microsoft-centric (Azure, 365, Entra, Sentinel) with VMware virtualization and enterprise storage (HPE, Commvault), and they're now adopting SIEM and SOAR tooling while actively migrating on-premises Windows Server workloads to Azure — a shift driven by their own service-portfolio standardization projects. Engineering-led hiring (18 of 27 open roles) reflects the operational weight of managing redundant, compliant infrastructure across private, public, and hybrid cloud surfaces.
nexellent is a Swiss cloud infrastructure and managed services provider founded in 2004, headquartered in Glattbrugg (Zürich). The company operates three datacenters meeting FINMA compliance and ISO standards, and holds its own Class-3 AS and fiber backbone license as a registered Swiss telecom operator. Core service lines include cloud (private, public, hybrid), colocation, network services (IP Transit, leased lines, load balancing, firewalling), and performance monitoring. The customer base spans finance, manufacturing, retail, and software sectors. All infrastructure is built on internal proprietary systems, Microsoft Azure, and Microsoft 365, with VMware-based virtualization and redundant networking to ensure high availability. The 11–50 person team operates primarily in Switzerland.
nexellent operates private cloud on proprietary infrastructure, Microsoft Azure for public cloud, and hybrid deployments across both. They are a Microsoft Partner offering Office 365, Dynamics 365, and Azure services alongside their own datacenters.
All three nexellent datacenters are FINMA-compliant and ISO-certified. The company is also a registered Swiss telecom provider with its own Class-3 Autonomous System and fiber backbone license.
