## TL; DR
For once there is no TL;DR, but we wish you a happy reading.
## What is ungleich?
A question that I am asked at every conference is, "what is ungleich"?
Literally translated to English it means "not equal" or
"different". And that describes our approach to things pretty well.
Because ungleich is not one company. Matter of fact, ungleich is at
least two companies: Originally ungleich was incorporated in 2013 as
ungleich GmbH (llc). In 2017 we decided to found ungleich glarus ltd,
to make it easier for investors to join our efforts to build a
sustainable data center in the middle of the Swiss mountains.
But even that does not describe ungleich very well. Because ungleich
is actually a movement.
## Sustainability and IPv6
We are basically doing two things at ungleich: we foster
sustainability. And we foster sustainability. To be more precise, we
are deeply engaded into environmental and technical
sustainability. And none of this would be possible without the
community that is surrounding us.
## TDD is the past - CDD is now
Some years ago in the software development world "TDD" (test driven
development/design) was a big hype and shifted the mindset towards
verified software. Proof ("test") that your software does, what you
intent it to do.
At ungleich we use this approach to some degree. However much more in
the focus is CDD - community driven development. Let me elaborate a
bit, because this is one of the most important things, if not the most
important part of being at ungleich.
## Living and working in the Swiss mountains
ungleich is not by accident based
[in the middle of the Swiss
mountains](https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/46.92599/8.99964&layers=N). No,
our home, leisure and work place is in the middle of the Digital
Glarus valley. Why? Glarus used to be a place of textile
companies. Nowadays, these companies have moved on to other place. So
what is still here? An excellent view
([checkout the pictures on
twitter](https://twitter.com/DigitalGlarus), many nice places and
great Internet connectivity. When we incorporated the ungleich glarus
ltd., to build a place for people like us, who like to work in the
nature, but also need a proper technical environment. We started in
2017 in one location and in 2020 we are present in four location
(Schwanden, Linthal, Luchsingen, Diesbach). Together with other other
people and companies who have become close friends over the
years. Together with people who did not ever hear about Glarus before
meeting us. Together, we are building a new home for those loving
nature and wanting to work in a great environment.
