Located adjacent to Global Switch's existing Amsterdam West data center, Amsterdam East expands the campus by offering 32,000 sq m of space with technical suites to accommodate high-performance computing needs. Each suite will have a capacity of 2MW at an average density of 3,000W/m², and contiguous space of 4MW can be provided.

  • Amsterdam East will increase the campus by a further 32,000 sq m to achieve a total of 73,000 sq m of space.
  • The facility will be constructed over five stages. Stage 1 of Amsterdam East became operational in 2024.
  • The OCP Ready™ program was launched in 2018 to assist end users in finding data centers where OCP IT equipment can be deployed at scale.
  • Amsterdam East is targeting an annualized PUE of less than 1.2. 100% of the electricity purchased, including the IT power, will be sourced from renewables. Standby generation will use biofuel, and refrigerant gas will have low GWP and zero ODP.
