Our infrastructure runs on solar energy

The private and external data centres behind EnforceGate vX run substantially on locally produced solar power: panels on our private data centre's own roof, with on-site battery storage extending that into the evening before the grid takes over overnight.

What this covers

The EnforceGate infrastructure resides in both our private data centre and an external data centre. This is where the threat intel feed, the account portal, and the classification service behind the curated domain lists run. Our private data centre in Valais, one of Switzerland's sunniest regions, has solar panels on its roof feeding an on-site battery bank that extends coverage into the evening; once the battery is depleted, the grid covers the rest of the night. The external data centre also generates its own solar power on-site; the remainder of its usage comes from an external renewable source, not fossil-fuel grid power.

~57% of server and equipment usage is on-site solar we generate ourselves, across both data centres combined — ~58% at our private data centre, 55% at the external one
The external data centre's remaining 45% is still renewable, sourced from an external renewable-energy supplier rather than the ordinary grid mix
Battery-stored at our private data centre, extending solar power well past sunset before the grid fills the rest of the night

Our offices are not included in the above numbers. This is specifically about the infrastructure that runs the business: the data centres, not the buildings people work in. We'd rather state the boundary plainly than let "our infrastructure" be read as broader than it is.

Why we're telling you this, not showing it in the product

EnforceGate vX is self-hosted: it runs on your own hardware, inside your own network, on whatever power your organisation already uses. There is no cloud backhaul and no Exosys datacentre in the request path — that is the whole point of the product. So this page is a fact about us, the company that builds and operates EnforceGate, not a claim about your deployment's energy use, which we have no part in and no visibility into.
