Our first data center in Amsterdam

As a data center location, Amsterdam has risen to become one of the most important colocation ecosystems and occupies the third largest market in Europe. With the city’s leading internet exchange and transatlantic fiber optic connections, Amsterdam’s technical infrastructure serves both as a provider and contributor to today’s digital economy.

Serving the Amsterdam area

Amsterdam 1 is positioned in the Schiphol-Rijk district of the city, an ideal data center location due to its centrality and excellent connectivity links. The campus offers high availability, scalable data center space with high power density, carrier neutrality, flexible colocation spaces, cloud network access, connectivity and on-site support. The first phase of Amsterdam 1 was opened in April 2019.
