The hotel and restaurant industry is more digital than ever. Booking systems, POS systems, TV platforms, WiFi, digital signage, payment solutions and business-critical applications need to operate around the clock. As the demands for availability, security and flexibility increase, more businesses within hospitality choose to move systems, applications and data to cloud services.
For many hotels and restaurants, it's no longer just about having technology that works. It's about creating a secure, scalable, and future-proof IT environment that can adapt as the business, the number of guests, or digital services change. Here, Swedish cloud services can play an important role.
Swedish cloud services mean that servers, storage, networks, and other IT resources are delivered as services from a Swedish cloud provider. Instead of buying and managing all the underlying hardware yourself, you get access to resources that can be customised and scaled according to the business needs.
With Binero's Swedish cloud services, data is managed exclusively in Sweden. The services are therefore subject to Swedish legislation and GDPR. Binero also owns its data centre and has its own staff, providing a clear local presence for businesses with high demands on secure data management.
For the hotel and restaurant industry, this means a flexible IT environment where you can get access to the capacity you need without having to take responsibility for the physical infrastructure behind the services yourself.
Increased availability for business-critical systems
Swedish cloud services give hotels and restaurants the opportunity to build a more flexible and accessible IT environment. Resources for computing, storage, and networking can be adapted to the business's needs, making it easier to manage both daily operations and periods of higher demand.
For hotel chains and restaurant chains with multiple locations, the cloud can create a shared platform for central systems, data, and applications. This can simplify management and create better conditions for developing unified digital services across the business.
Binero's public cloud service offers, among other things, computing power, several types of storage, and networking services via an OpenStack-based platform. Resources can be managed via portal, terminal, or API.
High security for sensitive information
In the hotel and restaurant industry, information related to bookings, payments, guests, staff, and internal business systems is handled. Therefore, it is important to know where the information is stored, how it is managed, and which legislation applies.
With Swedish cloud services from Binero, data is handled in Sweden under Swedish legislation and GDPR. Binero is also certified according to ISO 27001 for information security.
A Swedish cloud platform can provide the business with:
• Clarity about where data is stored
• Control over data and cloud resources
• Support for compliance
• Access control and separated environments
• Possibility for backups and snapshots
• Local support from Swedish technicians
• A clearer division of responsibility between the business and the provider
This creates a stable foundation for hotels and restaurants that handle personal data and other types of business-critical information.
When you choose a Swedish cloud provider, you get a partner operating in the same market and under the same legislation as your business. This can facilitate communication regarding, for example, data management, security requirements, support, contracts and compliance.
Binero owns and operates its data centre outside Stockholm with its own staff. Data stored in Binero's cloud services is handled locally in Sweden.
For hotels and restaurants, a local cloud partner also means proximity to Swedish technicians who understand the business conditions. This can be particularly valuable when several digital services, suppliers and systems need to work together.

Hotel and restaurant operations don't just run during office hours. Guests check in late in the evening, restaurants stay open long after the workday ends and conference facilities depend on stable technology throughout the event.
Therefore, cloud services, support and underlying IT infrastructure also need to be adapted for businesses that are active for large parts of the day.
At Binero, support is included around the clock from Swedish technicians. The cloud resources can also be scaled according to the business's needs, and in the public cloud, the customer pays for the resources used.
This gives hotels and restaurants the ability to manage changing needs without having to size the entire IT environment according to the year's most demanding period.
Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important issue in hospitality. Guests, corporate customers and procuring organisations demand higher standards on how hotels and restaurants work with environment, energy use and resource efficiency.
Binero's data centre uses 100 percent renewable electricity and is certified according to Fossil Free Data Centre. The excess heat from the data centre is also used to heat homes in the municipality. Binero is also environmentally certified according to ISO 14001.
By choosing Swedish cloud services with documented sustainable data centre operation, the hotel's or restaurant's IT environment can become a clearer part of the overall sustainability work.
For many businesses, choosing a cloud provider is therefore not only about capacity and security. It is also about choosing a solution that supports the business's long-term climate and sustainability goals.

Digitalisation in the hotel and restaurant industry continues to evolve. AI-based services, smart room features, advanced analytics, personalisation and integrated guest services place higher demands on the underlying IT environment.
This means that the choice of cloud services is not just about where applications run or data is stored. Businesses need to ensure that the cloud platform can deliver sufficient capacity, high security and the ability to scale as needs change.
With IaaS, hotels and restaurants can access servers, storage and networks without having to purchase or manage the underlying hardware. Binero's public cloud also offers instance types for, among other things, general use, high performance, large memory needs, NVMe and GPU-accelerated workloads.
For development teams and digital services, PaaS and container platforms can offer additional flexibility. Binero offers both IaaS and PaaS, including self-managed and managed container platforms.
For hotels and restaurants that want to retain control over their data while gaining access to a flexible and modern IT platform, Swedish cloud services can thus be a strategic choice.
If your business depends on stable digital services, handles personal data, has high availability requirements or wants to create a more flexible foundation for future digitalisation, Swedish cloud services can be a natural next step.
With a Swedish cloud provider, local data handling, scalable cloud resources and the ability to combine public and private environments, you can build an IT platform that suits both today's business and the hospitality of the future.
Binero's Swedish cloud services give you access to an OpenStack-based cloud platform, local Swedish data handling, scalable resources and support from Swedish technicians. The solution can also be combined with managed services, networks and other connected services.
