Celebrating 25 Years of Excellence

EDIS Global was established as a sole proprietorship on February 16 1999, starting with just one 1U Supermicro Dual Pentium III 866 MHz server. Despite its humble beginnings, this machine laid the foundation for the company's future growth and success.

Accreditation by the Austrian domain name registry nic.at was received, allowing us to become a domain name registrar.

We began operating our own data center in Graz, Austria.

The company introduced its first virtualization products based on _Usermode Linux_ (UML) attracting the first international customers. We made history becoming one of the first providers to launch commercial virtualization products based on that technology.

We have become the first Austrian web hosting provider with its own dedicated gigabit uplinks

Restructuring of the company, moving towards a legal entity.

With the launch of virtualization products (Linux vServer Container, KVM and OpenVZ), we finally made the leap onto the global stage.

We became the market leader in context-based servers in Austria and Switzerland
