1. Location

Amsterdam

Located close to Amsterdam’s Schiphol International Airport and major Internet Exchanges, our Amsterdam AMS1 data center offers the best in security, connectivity and sustainability.

Reliability and security

A purpose-built concrete and steel facility, AMS1 is designed for resilience. Redundant network capabilities and disaster recovery rooms ensure your business continuity in case of emergency. Strict entry policies and other procedures mean access to the data center interior is tightly controlled.

Green and lean

With its ultra-low PUE, redundant 2N dedicated power and cooling infrastructure, AMS1 is one of the greenest data centers in the region. By maintaining a very low PUE throughout the year we minimize costs and so can offer customers highly competitive prices.

Premium connectivity

Our AMS1 facility is home to a thriving ecosystem of providers and enterprises who enjoy access to over 2000 peered networks. Our partnerships with AMS-IX, NL-IX and LINX (all hosted in AMS1) give you direct access to one of the largest internet exchanges in the world. In addition, our IXroom offers affordable interconnection options with many more networks.

Personal support 24/7

Highly experienced support engineers are on site 24/7 to perform regular and Remote Hands maintenance activities.

Designed for growth

In our most recent part of the data center we use separate modular data center suites which make it easy to scale up as your needs change. Overall, the data center currently spans more than 12.000m² and has room to expand to 40.000m².

Convenient

Apart from its handy location just 16 km from Schiphol Airport, 1.500m from the A5-A9 highway and less than 800m from Haarlem Spaarnwoude rail station, we also offer the convenience of office space for customers so you can work as close as possible to your business critical IT framework. In addition, we provide various secure and private storage rooms next to (or even in) the offices themselves.

2. Building Concepts

Building Concepts

Our data centers have been designed to maximize efficiency – especially in terms of energy and power. Smart design also makes them easily scalable.

Cost-effective cooling

Advanced cooling solutions drastically reduce energy consumption. Unlike conventional data centers which use wasteful compressors, we have implemented our own “Free Cooling” concept. This energy efficient cooling technique makes intelligent use of the outside air to cool the interior of the data center.

• Redundant cooling ACU (2N)
• Hot & cold aisle containment
• High-density cooling solutions
• Standard 5.5kW (Higher density on request)
• Temperature 24 °C

 

 

Energy efficient power use

With a current energy capacity of 25 MW and the option to increase this to 60, we guarantee the highest possible data center power availability while using less power than standard data centers. This results in a substantial cost reduction. Although operating on the same basic floor plans as many other data centers we make exceptionally efficient use of energy.

Because we use multiple power sources, our data centers always have enough power to run your mission-critical applications:

• Fully redundant site
• 100% renewable energy
• High density solutions (>32 kW)
• Best-in-class efficient UPS
• 99.999 % uptime
• 25 MVA capacity

 

Modular designs for easy scalability

Pre-engineered and standardized modules containing racks mean you can expand capacity simply by adding one module at a time. This unique design also delivers energy savings thanks to integrated cooling and electrical systems which achieve the lowest PUEs in the market.

3. Security

Data center security is our priority and our facilities are heavily secured against all possible threats, ensuring minimum risk and maximum uptime for your mission-critical applications.
