About this network

Econis AG (ECONIS-AS) — a Swiss IT services and managed-cloud provider based in Dietikon, near Zurich, operating from Swiss datacentres. It was acquired by the Italian cloud provider Wiit in 2024.

What it's used for

• Managed private cloud, virtual servers, storage, backup and IT outsourcing for Swiss customers in regulated sectors — finance, healthcare, legal and public services.
• The announced space is datacentre infrastructure: sampled addresses resolve under econis.ch, including router names of the form ssc-dc0-rt01-NAME.econis.ch.

Notable

• A small network — a few thousand IPv4 addresses across three prefixes — with a single upstream. This is an enterprise hosting footprint, not a transit or eyeball network.
• Data residency is the selling point: the workloads here are deliberately kept inside Switzerland.

Interesting

• Swiss "sovereign cloud" providers like this one exist largely because banking and healthcare rules make offshore hosting awkward, which is why a company this small runs its own AS and its own address space rather than renting from a hyperscaler.
