Why Aeberli cloud hosting

No own server.
No IT worries.

Other Abacus partners separate software and hosting — you have two contacts, two contracts, two responsibilities. With us both come from one place: Abacus expertise and modern cloud infrastructure.

All from a single partner

We are your Abacus partner and your hosting partner. One person knows your software, your data and your infrastructure.

Data stays in Zurich

Microsoft Azure region Switzerland North — Zurich data centre. No data leaves Switzerland. GDPR-compliant.

Daily backup

Automatic, encrypted backups daily. Geo-redundant storage within Switzerland. Recovery tests included.

24/7 monitoring

Proactive Azure monitoring for your Abacus server. Alerts, performance reports and automatic scaling on demand.

Predictable fixed costs

Monthly flat rate instead of unpredictable IT costs. No capital investment for your own server. Clearly calculable from CHF 500.–/month.

FAQ

Frequent questions about hosting.

All data is on Microsoft Azure in the Switzerland North region — that means physically in Zurich, Switzerland. No data leaves the country. The solution is fully GDPR- and Swiss DPA-compliant.

Included: Azure VM with Windows Server license, daily encrypted backups, 24/7 Azure monitoring, monthly security updates by our team. Not included: Abacus software licenses and Abacus implementation.

Yes. We handle the full migration of your existing Abacus installation to the Azure cloud — including all data, configurations and clients. The migration runs in a defined maintenance window to minimise downtime.

No. Windows Server licenses are included in our packages. For Abacus itself you need your existing or new Abacus licenses — as a purchase or subscription license through us as a sales partner.

That is exactly our advantage: with us, a single point of contact handles server, Abacus software and fiduciary questions. No ping-pong between IT provider and software partner. We solve the problem — full stop.
