Why choose Swedish data storage?

Swedish data storage generally means higher data security, environmentally friendly solutions and local support. Here you can find out how Swedish local data storage differs from the services offered by the big international companies, and what advantages it has for you as a Swedish company. Binero can give you greater security and better support.

Why choose Swedish data storage?

Is Swedish data storage better? Yes, if you value high data security and compliance, want environmentally friendly solutions for your IT environment, and want to work with a local provider who truly understands your needs. We will take a closer look at how Swedish data storage differs from the big international companies and how this affects your needs.

Swedish data storage complies with GDPR and Swedish laws

As a member of the EU, Sweden complies with EU law GDPR. This data protection regulation is designed to protect personal data and sets high standards for how data is stored and handled. For example, personal data may only be stored outside the EU under certain specific conditions. By choosing Swedish data storage, you avoid the uncertainty and legal risks associated with transferring data to third countries. Sweden is also known for its very stable legal system, where Swedish laws and regulations protect personal privacy and prevent unauthorised access to data.

As a Swedish data storage provider, all data stored with Binero is handled exclusively in Sweden. In addition to complying with GDPR and Swedish legislation, we are also ISO 27001 certified, which guarantees that we meet the highest standards of information security. When it comes to physical data security, our data centre outside Stockholm has surveillance and alarms, high redundancy in the form of power supply from different points with power backup via diesel generators and battery packs. This guarantees highly secure data storage with high regulatory compliance and strong data protection that can be difficult to find with foreign providers.

Swedish data storage protects against the Cloud Act

While most people are familiar with GDPR, not as many are aware of the Cloud Act. The Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act is a US law that is more or less the opposite of GDPR. It means that US law enforcement agencies can request digital information from American companies. This applies even to data stored outside the United States. In practice, this means that if you use data storage services from American companies such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud Platform (GCP), they can disclose your data, even if it is stored in Sweden or the EU, because these companies are subject to the Cloud Act.

Binero is a completely Swedish company with its own data centre in Vallentuna, where everything is handled by Swedish staff. This gives you completely Swedish data storage where your data is secure. This means that if you handle sensitive data from, for example, healthcare, the public sector, hospitality, etc., you can guarantee that personal data is handled as securely as possible when it is stored with us.

Swedish data storage has environmental benefits

It is no secret that data centres consume a lot of energy and have a significant environmental impact. Servers and other data storage equipment are in operation 24/7 and also require cooling to function safely. This leads to high, constant energy consumption, which can result in large emissions of climate-impacting greenhouse gases if the electricity comes from fossil fuels.

Swedish data storage often uses renewable energy and has energy-efficient operations, which makes Swedish data storage more sustainable. At Binero, we have taken our environmental work several steps further. Our data centre uses 100% renewable electricity and meets very strict requirements for energy efficiency and low carbon dioxide emissions. This has led to us becoming the first company in the world to receive the global Fossil Free Data Centre certification. Even the cooling in our data centre follows a circular model where surplus heat is used to heat homes in the municipality. This means that Binero's climate-certified services can support companies' environmental work and contribute to long-term sustainable digitalisation.

Swedish data storage provides you with better support

Using suppliers on the other side of the world can cause problems when you need support. Time differences, language barriers and cultural differences can make it more difficult to understand and get the right support.

The benefit of choosing Swedish data storage is that you get a local provider with a better understanding of your circumstances. With a Swedish provider, it is easier to review, follow up and set requirements for the services you receive. You also gain a better cultural and linguistic understanding, which facilitates communication and provides you with quick and straightforward answers regarding agreements, updates, incidents, etc.

With Binero, you get more than just a Swedish data storage provider. You get 24/7 support and quick contact with Swedish technicians who understand you and your needs, and you also get a partner who understands your market and your needs.

We work closely with our customers and listen to them so that we can develop our services according to their needs and wishes. When you work with us, you not only gain access to extensive IT expertise that understands Swedish conditions, you also gain an advisory partner who acts as a source of security in a rapidly changing and uncertain world. This allows you, as a customer, to relax and focus on what you do best.

Warm or cold data storage? Which Swedish data storage solution is right for you?

There are different types of data storage depending on your needs. In short, they can be divided into warm and cold data storage. The difference between them is how often the data is used and how quickly you need to access it. Warm data storage is used for active data that is used frequently or in real time. Examples include databases, user data in apps and similar data. You get very fast data access, but at a higher cost.

Cold data storage is suitable for data that is rarely used but still needs to be saved. Examples include archive data, backups and data that must be stored for regulatory compliance. The cost of storage space is significantly lower compared to hot data storage, but access is slower and may also involve a cost if the need arises. The right choice for you therefore depends on whether your needs involve real-time use or long-term storage of data.
